The world is in deep trouble on climate change, but if we really put our shoulder to the wheel we can turn things around. Loosely, that’s the essence of today’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Decorated coral reef biologist Terry Hughes says there’s still time to save the world’s coral reefs if we act fast.
