According to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, one fifth of the world’s corals have been killed by CO2 from industrial and auto emissions that make the oceans more acidic and warmer.
The new report by the International Union for Conservation (Gland, Switzerland) specifies CO2 as the primary culprit. The news was released as delegates from approximately 190 nations meet in Poland to establish new guidelines for a treaty to combat global warming.
According to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a United Nations-supervised study, coral reefs are worth nearly $30 billion a year to the global economy through fisheries and tourism and coastal protection.
New technology to convert CO2
Commenting on the news, Derek McLeish, CEO of publicly traded Carbon Sciences, Inc. (OTC BB:CABN) said: “This is yet more evidence of the need for new technologies that can control the output of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. We have exactly one earth — and we continue to destroy our ecosystem through the millions of tons of CO2 poured into our atmosphere each and every day.”
McLeish added: “We have a new, earth-friendly technology to convert CO2 into a wide range of commercially-useful products, including fuels that lessen our dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels. Managing this ongoing environmental crisis will require new technologies to cope with the acceleration of global warming and its harmful effects on the oceans and the earth.”
