Climate Tipping Points Crossed
Scientists warn that global warming is reaching dangerous new levels faster than anticipated, leading to an almost irreversible decline in the world's coral reefs.
A report by 160 researchers worldwide, known as the Global Tipping Points report, describes this as the first "tipping point" in the collapse of ecosystems driven by climate change.
The alarm comes just weeks before the COP30 climate summit, set to take place near the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
The report also warns that the Amazon system faces possible collapse if the global temperature rises more than 1.5 degrees Celsius due to ongoing deforestation, lowering previous estimates of the critical temperature threshold for the region.
