  "summary": "The Australian newspaper has front-page story claiming that the Great Barrier Reef is not dead, despite decades of warnings that global heating would cause its demise. The newspaper’s editorial argues that the continued good health of the reef is a reminder that physics, not climate change alarmism, still governs the natural order. However, a scientist quoted by The Guardian Australia suggests that high coral cover is evidence of recovery and resilience, not evidence that the disturbances causing mortality did not occur.",
