    No, you're the old boomer who doesn't have a clue - keep up mate haha

    "article was complex" no surprises you'd have trouble with it then...

    I'll hold you hand and outline important parts for you - always happy to help the elderly:

    - The rapid growth in coral cover appears to have come at the expense of the diversity of coral on the reef, with most of the increases accounted for by fast-growing branching coral called Acropora.

    - Those corals grow quickly after disturbances but are very easily destroyed by storms, heatwaves and crown-of-thorns starfish. By increasing the dominance of those corals, the reef can become more vulnerable.

    - "While it's great to see increases in coral cover of a particular species, we can't ignore that the diversity is really what we need to emphasise, and that's going to be key to a healthy ecosystem over the longer term," Professor Rummer said.

    - In 2018, the United Nations released a report warning that coral reefs worldwide were projected to decline by up to 90 per cent even if warming was capped at 1.5 degrees Celsius.
