8 Places That Are Doomed If Global Warming Isn’t Contained (5 of 5)

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is another natural wonder that is at risk of disappearing due to global warming. The reef is home to a diverse range of marine life, including 1,500 species of fish, 30 species of whales and dolphins, and six species of sea turtles. However, rising sea temperatures due to global warming are causing coral bleaching, which occurs when coral reefs lose their vibrant colors and die. The Great Barrier Reef has already lost half of its coral in the last 30 years, and if the current trend continues, it may disappear entirely by 2050.
