The latest IPCC scientific report confirms that, if global temperatures rise by 1½ degrees, 90 per cent of all coral reefs will be lost, and all of them—100 per cent of coral reefs—will be lost if we hit two degrees, yet your government's policies have us on track for at least three degrees of warming. When will your government end its war on science and implement a climate policy to limit global warming to 1½ degrees to protect what's left of the reef?
