Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels will still be catastrophic for coral reefs, new research suggests.
Alarming new research shows global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will be catastrophic for almost all coral reefs – including those once
“Our finding reinforces the stark reality that there is no safe limit of global warming for coral reefs,” said Adele Dixon, lead author of the study and a researcher at the University of Leeds.
Scientists have warned of a bleaker outlook for the world’s corals than previous assessments as a result of climate change.
