From 2007 : Turns out there is more to the coral bleaching story.
Coral expert Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, from the University of Queensland’s Centre for Marine Studies, warned researchers along the reef to look for bleaching after Townsville experienced one of its coldest days on record, on June 20.
Where are all the global warming clones who will say all the record cold is just ‘weather’?
Well, we know the cold is just proof that CAGW is true. Likewise, we can see that cold causes coral bleaching just like warm causes it. See?
Dr Ove has been so long and loud about CAGW and coral bleaching and the Great Barrier Reef death spiral it has turned all our sceptical brains to mush. Must bleach brain, as they say. Or maybe coral. I wonder what strain of zooxanthellae likes cold?

Ove’s brain is still bleached…this was 2007…today is no different
bleached Ove…especially after he ‘ran into’ Anthony Watts on the Watts tour earlier this year…
First it’s heat killing thecoral, now it’s cold killing the coral…
About as credible as a Snake-oil salesman.
