flag Global warming has pushed Earth past a climate threshold, risking irreversible coral reef collapse, scientists warn.

flag A new global scientific report warns that Earth has crossed a climate threshold, with global temperatures 1.3°C above preindustrial levels, putting tropical coral reefs at severe risk of collapse due to warming oceans. flag The report, authored by 160 experts, identifies the Great Barrier Reef as having already passed a tipping point at 1.2°C, with further warming threatening irreversible damage. flag Scientists stress that exceeding 1.5°C could trigger cascading environmental disruptions, including the collapse of major climate systems. flag While some studies show coral recovery after bleaching, the report emphasizes urgent action is needed to reduce emissions, pollution, and overfishing to prevent widespread reef loss.
