Walther has collected several pieces of evidence regarding this. The first is coral bleaching, in which he says, "Six periods of mass coral bleaching have occurred since 1979 and the incidence of mass coral bleaching is increasing in both frequency and intensity" (392). Coral bleaching happens when the temperature gets too hot, and there is a mass extinction of coral. This is devastating, since coral is the basis for an intricate ecosystem in shallow, tropical waters. In addition, Walther has also shown that climate change has cause an expansion of mosquito-related diseases (391).Mosquitos live in humid, warm climates. As the earth heats, they travel to new places and habitats, where diseases can spread easier. As one can see, there are many ways in which already climate change is effecting our
