If global warming is not curbed, the most important ecosystems on the planet will perish

After analyzing 190 groves, about 500 wetlands and 872 coral reefs, the researchers used computer simulations. If average global temperatures rise by two degrees, the sea will rise at a rate of up to 8 millimeters per year. In this case, the probability of important ecosystems dying would be between 67% and 90%.

The scientific community calls on governments and representatives of international organizations to make every effort to prevent this scenario.
