Coral Reefs and Climate Change: Maybe Reefs Could Keep Pace with Sea Rise?

Nature World: If carbon levels are limited and we manage coral reefs well, they could grow vertically and maintain pace with rising sea levels. At least, researchers from Florida Institute of Technology say that could very likely happen, and they recently reported their findings in the journal Royal Society Open Science. The scientists say that if we keep carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere at below 670 parts per million (ppm), ocean temperatures could continue to support those growing coral reefs, as a...
