Earth hits first climate tipping point as coral reefs face irreversible collapse
Earth has hit its first climate tipping point: warm water coral reefs face irreversible decline. Scientists warn that without immediate global heating reduction to 1.2°C, these vital ecosystems, supporting millions, will collapse. Widespread bleaching and unprecedented stress are already pushing reefs beyond their limits, demanding urgent action to protect marine life and human livelihoods.
