Fossil fuel emissions are impacting corals through high temperatures which can cause their deaths and ocean acidification which makes it difficult for them to produce their skeletons. Dr.Couce said: "Just as we have to take into account many factors when deciding where to live and juggle the trade-offs such as proximity to a city centre or the desire for a garden, whether a coral reef can establish or not depends on conflicting stressors. Global warming is stronger at the equator and drives corals away into higher latitudes, whereas acidification is stronger close to the poles and pushes coral habitat towards the equator."
I chose this article because it has the information how to save the coral reefs by finding it better places to stay to escape the heat. In the article it said we have to decide to trade-offs such as a city centre or a garden, but those options I think would cause more trouble by just build another city for ourself.
The next step is that we have to find another better way to move the coral reefs, like finding a perfect condition place for corals but have to be under the sea. As we can see, scientists trying to fix all the problems cause by us, so by looking at this, we should think and improve to be more friendly to nature.
