Coral reefs worldwide face collapse, experts warn

The Economist reports that the world's coral reefs are running out of time, pointing to mounting pressure from warming oceans, acidification and pollution that is bleaching and killing reefs faster than they can recover. The warning has renewed discussion among scientists and environmental advocates about the urgent need for global climate action to protect reef ecosystems.
Why now: Rising ocean temperatures and recent mass bleaching events have pushed coral reef decline back into global headlines.
