"mitigating climate change is the critical wedge to set coral reefs on a
recovery trajectory" Duarte et al 2020 Rebuilding marine life Nature
"Already, more people die <http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats.shtml>from
heat-related causes in the U.S. than from all other extreme weather events."

"Global warming is manifestly the foremost current threat to coral reefs,
and must be addressed by the global community if reefs as we know them will
have any chance to persist." Williams et al, 2019, Frontiers in Marine
