Author David Wallace-Wells warns that coral reefs may not survive another generation, potentially facing total extinction by 2050 without significant policy changes. He highlights that humanity is already experiencing a mass extinction event. The World Wildlife Fund reports a 60% decline in vertebrate mammals since 1970, while insect populations may have plummeted by 75% in recent decades.

Our oceans currently absorb much of the atmospheric emissions, preventing even higher global temperatures. However, they remain highly vulnerable to pollution and other impacts. Wallace-Wells, author of "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" (https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), emphasizes the critical state of these vital ecosystems.
