Greenpeace responds to Scott Morrison's reef 2050 plan

Greenpeace is urging the Morrison Government to directly address the effects of rising ocean temperatures on the Great Barrier Reef. 

The call is backed by a new study which states that even if global heating is capped at 1.5 degrees, the reef will still be subjected to "regular heat stress". 

This comes days after Scott Morrison announced an additional 1 billion dollars in his Reef 2050 plan. The increased funding aims to reduce threats from Crown of Thorn Starfish, protect key species, and prevent illegal fishing.
