A whole 1.7 planet's worth. The Great Barrier Reef is dying. The great dying will gather pace until we hit rock bottom.

She may right herself without help or interference from us. I hope so. Or if her life is in danger she will let her children die without sentiment so that she may live. However, all possible futures may not be open, we may have gone past a tipping point, and there may not be enough time. \u003cstrong\u003eGod, Goodall and Attenborough won't save us. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are mountains and oceans of evidence about the perilous state of the planet.
