In 2023, more than three-quarters of the world’s coral reefs were exposed to ocean temperatures that can cause coral bleaching, researchers with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report. Roughly 90% of the excess heat from anthropogenic climate change is absorbed by the oceans, making them hotter now…
