1/2 of the Great Barrier Reef has died.

This is really, really saddening to me. When I was a kid I dreamed of being a marine biologist and diving on the Great Barrier Reef. I had tons of books about reefs and remember looking at the pictures and hoping to see it one day (this is a big dream when you live in a podunk town in the NC mountains and your parents don't even have enough money to go to myrtle beach). Now it's dying - rather, we collectively murdered it - and I never got the chance to see it.
