First 'climate tipping point' being crossed: Coral reefs in crisis, is there still a way back?

Excerpt from aa.com.tr

What scientists once warned as a possibility has now become a reality. Warm-water coral reefs, among the planet’s most vital ecosystems, are crossing a "climate tipping point," according to the Global Tipping Points Report 2025.

Authored by 160 scientists from 23 countries and 87 institutions, the report, released last week, serves as a stark wake-up call to a world distracted by daily crises and forgetting the tangible reality of global warming.

It warned that “the world has entered a new reality,” with ecosystems nearing dangerous thresholds as global heating is set to soon surpass the 1.5C limit.

The prospect of interconnected tipping points pushing humanity toward an irreversible climate crisis has immediately sparked questions about what these thresholds mean for the planet and whether they could mark the beginning of the end.
