Climate Change Threatens the Survival of Coral Reefs

Since human activity has already emitted approximately 600 GT of CO2 since that date, a rapid reduction of net CO2 emissions to near zero over the next 20 years is necessary if functional coral reef ecosystems are to be saved for the benefit of future generations. This means that most fossi ...
