Hello David Attenborough! thanks for doing this ama and for this amazing interactive look at the great barrier reef.
Since your documentaries are broadcast around the world, do you get to view stuff from other countries, and what trends have you noticed in wildlife documentaries around the world.
How optimistic are you about the recent Paris agreement and other things that seem to show that states are starting to take some kind of meaningful action. Do you think it will be too little too late?
Something I don't understand about climate change and the great barrier reef, since coral has been around for tens of millions of years and there have been times when the ocean has been warmer and more acid than it is today (and projected to be in the future), why is coral bleaching caused by a warmer/more acid ocean such a threat today. Is it because of the speed of warming/acidification or it in combination with other things?
