Nein, es ist kein Monet.


 
Es ist ein Luftbild des Great Barrier Reefs.

Die leuchtenden Farben stammen von hitzegestressten Korallen, die versuchen, am Leben zu bleiben.
Eine schreckliche, eindringliche Schönheit.

  1. » No, it’s not a Monet.

    It’s the #GreatBarrierReef, viewed from a small airplane.

    The bright colours are heat-stressed corals, desperately trying to stay alive as they struggle to cope with anthropogenic heating.

    A terrible, haunting beauty. «

  3. » So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C

    THEY ARE DONE.

    The point is not "OMG all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go"

    No
    The point is 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well.

    No
    The point is 1-2 billion people depend on those fish.

    100s of millions of people will starve.

    You're right, it could 'just' be only 10s of millions.

    So that's okay then. No problem.

    In years to come, we will look back at this time and ask the same question that future generations will ask: why didn’t we stop this catastrophe?
