The New York Times has created maps visualizing the world’s climate tipping points—areas where global warming has an irreversibly negative impact on natural ecosystems. Using the latest data on these climate tipping points, one visualization depicts where current levels of global warming are causing corals to expel algae living inside their tissues, which will lead to a mass death of coral reefs. Coral reefs protect coastlines from storms and erosion, and their mass destruction will have serious implications in coastal areas.
