Scientists have confirmed what activists have long warned — the Earth has now crossed its first major climate tipping point. Coral reefs, which sustain nearly a quarter of all marine life, are collapsing at a pace never before recorded. The new report warns that mass bleaching events — driven by fossil fuel emissions and corporate destruction of ocean systems — are pushing entire marine ecosystems into irreversible decline.
For India, this is not a distant crisis. From Lakshadweep to the Gulf of Mannar, our coral systems are dying, threatening coastal livelihoods and fish stocks. Yet governments continue to expand offshore drilling and subsidize polluters in the name of “development.”
This collapse is not “natural.” It is a direct result of human greed — and policy complicity.
