Climate change could wipe out almost all coral reef habitats around the world by 2100, according to research released Monday.

The few sites that could support reefs by the end of the century include small portions of Baja, California, and the Red Sea, according to the researchers.

This combination of warming seas and ocean acidification is already threatening coral reefs around the world, causing these ecosystems to undergo so-called bleaching events. Coral bleaching occurs as a response to abnormal environmental conditions, such cooler- or warmer-than-usual ocean temperatures, or when oceans become more acidic. When stressed, corals expel tiny photosynthetic algae that live in their tissues, causing these vibrant marine invertebrates to turn completely white.

OMG! Who’da thought that all the time I spent diving them I may be one of the few to enjoy them in the future as a memory.

80 years from now, huh? It was 35 years ago that I was told my house near the coast would be underwater by now. It's getting kinda ridiculous now.

Bewitched9 Just f**king great Trump pulls us out of the Paris Climate agreement then proceeds to accelerate turning our coral reefs into some horrific Melania Christmas decoration.
