Even if global #warming is kept under the Paris Agreement goal of 1.5°C above pre-industrial #temperatures, 70% to 90% of #corals across the world could be lost.

‘Wake-up call to humanity’: research shows the Great Barrier Reef is the hottest it’s been in 400 years

We must face a confronting truth: if humanity does not divert from its current course, our generation will likely witness the demise of one of Earth’s great natural wonders.

Yesterday, we went on a trip to #Penzance in #Cornwall. There is a direct #RailwayLine running from here to #London #Paddington. My local station is about half way along this 6-hour route and I've been on the London leg many time and so I thought it would be nice to go to the end of the line in the other direction. There are lots of #RailwayStations with strange names, like #Lostwithiel and #StErth and so it was nice to pass through them on our way.

Looking east along the beach, you can see #StMichaelsMount, which is built on a part-time island, in that it is an island when the tide is in but otherwise you can walk to it over a #causeway. We did that a decade ago. Here are a couple of views with a #ZoomLens (I didn't have space to pack my telephoto lens).

The #town of #Penzance can be seen in the opposite direction.

Parts of the #beach have #grey compacted sand. It's firm and yet soft and when wet it forms a shimmering mirror for the sky.

From the next #headland, you can get a really good view of St Michael's Mount. I think the light conditions here were better too in the early afternoon.

Off the shore, there were several #vessels including this #ship. I'm not sure what its function is but it's certainly for some special purpose.

The #sea appeared #blue or #green depending on the underlying geology.

Here. it even has patches of gold colour looking a bit like those pools into which people drop coins.

The boundary of #Devon and #Cornwall is marked in the south by the #RiverTamar. Across it, there is an old and historic #RailwayBridge called the #RoyalAlbertBridge, which was built in the mid 1800s by #Engineer #IsambardKingdomBrunel, Here, you can see it on the approach on the #train. This was taken using my #Android phone.

Right next to it is the much more modern #RoadBridge, which is a #SuspensionBridge.

‘Most of it was #dead’: scientists discover one of #GreatBarrierReef’s worst #coral #bleaching events

Flying a drone over the same section of reef earlier this month to match the images, Williamson said: “At least 97% of the corals had died over those three months.
