Global warming is transforming our environment. The temperature, acidity
and water level of the ocean is rising. These changes are increasing in
speed and magnitude and their effects will last for centuries. Corals
are among those organisms hit hardest by global warming. The rate our
climate changes will determine whether coral can survive or not.EarthSayer Steve Palumbi |
