Corals warn humanity to speed energy transition
I am very much afraid that climate expert Julian Cribb is correct that the world’s corals are in deep trouble due to fossil fuel emissions bleaching them; so in effect they are warning us: “The corals are telling us our time on Earth may well be up, if we do not heed the warnings they provide.” That is, are humans “intelligent enough to survive… or not?” (“Coral catastrophe signals our own undoing”, P&I, Apr 19, 2024).
Why on Earth can’t all fossil fuel companies simply accord with the very critical climate science and reform fast to making their profits from clean renewable energy? It is now the world’s choice between life or death for everyone ….
Surely a minority of humans cannot make the wrong choice for the sake of money.
