**Important for the Coral Bleaching Poster:**
1. Global warming can cause ocean water to be too warm for the algae that live in the coral to perform photosynthesis.
2. Coral will reject algae that don't photosynthesize, causing bleaching and possibly death for the coral.
**Not Important for the Poster:**
1. The Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia is one of the most biodiverse regions on our planet.
2. Scientists estimate that there are over 6,000 species of coral in the world.
The two important statements directly address the causes and consequences of coral bleaching, while the two not important statements provide general information about biodiversity and species count that do not specifically explain coral bleaching.
