The article discusses the fourth global coral bleaching event, which is a result of global warming. This event is significant because it is the second global mass bleaching event in the past decade, indicating that bleaching events are becoming more frequent and severe. Coral reefs are important for ocean health and support a large number of marine species, but they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The article emphasizes the need for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect coral reefs. Scientists are studying ways to improve reef resilience and restore coral reefs, but global collaboration and addressing local factors are also crucial. [Extracted from the article]
