Any journalist who thinks that coral bleaching on the GBR was “first seen in 2024” hasn’t been paying attention.

Mass mortality of corals due to climate change was 1st recorded in 1998, following by 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022 & 2024.

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.

Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.

This thread reveals the truth.
