The International Union for Conservation of Nature has warned that nearly all of the world's shallow-water coral reefs face an extremely high risk of collapse by 2075 because of climate change. The assessment, reported on Thursday, points to mounting pressure from warming and acidifying oceans. Conservationists are calling it a stark signal of what unchecked warming could erase within decades.
