Collapse of the Corals

The earth has reached its first catastrophic tipping point, with widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs. This global bleaching has affected nearly 85 per cent of reefs across the world. As the sea warms, scientists are scrambling to save what remains, from preserving spawn to breeding hardier varieties. But even cutting-edge technologies may fall short unless global temperature rises are limited to below 1.5°C.
