RE: Sea turtles use temperature-dependent sex determination instead of the commonly used sex chromosome, but climate change have shifted some populations to hatching as 99.8 % females!

Thank you for this comment, @extremejogging!

You are right about that; we are destroying the Great Barrier Reef much faster than most people think. Unfortunately most of the corals end up killing their symbiotic cells if the temperature rises only a few degrees, resulting in a coral bleach and the reef dying.
