"We just had a massive bleaching event, but we know from past research that corals are able to recover from the brink of death."

Oh, it wasn't dead, it was just on the brink of death. That's much better.

Coral doesn't typically die due to rising ocean temperatures... it flees the reef. I think these articles are trying to be contrarian on semantics. Not great.
