By Nina Muslim KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) – Last year, I wrote about the world reaching its first climate tipping point: waters in tropical seas have warmed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and are causing massive die-off of coral reefs [ https://www.bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2479881 ]. This is a sobering thought as without coral reefs, home to thousands of marine life, the collapse of one ecosystem will set off a cascade that ends with us hungry or worse. If the seas are no longer hospitable to the corals, it stands to reason that humans are headed the same way unless we manage to cool down the Earth enough. My trip to Pulau Sibu, Johor, earlier this month drove home the point.
