Extract from a newspaper report on the future of coral reefs
Great Barrier Reef
‘will be no more
within two decades’
Frank Pope Oceans Correspondent
The Great Barrier Reef will be so degraded by
warming waters that it will be unrecognisable
within 20 years, an eminent marine scientist
has said.
Charlie Veron, former chief scientist of
the Australian Institute of Marine Science,
told The Times : “There is no way out, no
loopholes. The Great Barrier Reef will be
over within 20 years or so.”

Once carbon dioxide had hit the levels
predicted for between 2030 and 2060, all
coral reefs were doomed to extinction, he
said. “They would be the world’s first global
ecosystem to collapse. I have the backing
of every coral reef scientist, every research
organisation. I’ve spoken to them all. This is
critical. This is reality.”
