[Coral-List] a small rise in temperature could put earth over some tipping points

[Douglas Fenner]

>From the "Structured abstract":  "Six CTPs become likely (with a further
four possible) within the Paris Agreement range of 1.5 to <2°C warming,
including collapse of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, *die-off
of low-latitude coral reefs*, and widespread abrupt permafrost thaw."
