关于大堡礁的未来,最为暗淡的预测之一是:到2050年,海洋温度的升高将毁掉其95%的珊瑚。一份由昆士兰海洋研究中心提出的报告说,随着未来几十年内太平洋水温的持续升高,大堡礁(世界上最大的珊瑚链)在劫难逃。报告称:“礁脉不会消失,但已无珊瑚可言。即便温度是以比设想更慢的速度上升,也几乎没有迹象表明珊瑚能足够迅速地做出调节,以适应水温。”环境部一位不愿透露姓名的发言人说,澳大利亚政府将坚持其拒绝批 One of the darkest predictions about the future of the Great Barrier Reef is that by 2050, the rise in ocean temperatures will destroy 95% of its corals. A report by the Queensland Marine Research Center said that the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral chain in the world, is fleeing as the temperatures in the Pacific Ocean rise over the coming decades. The report said: “Reef veins will not disappear, but no corals at all.” Even though temperatures are rising at a slower rate than suggested, there is little indication that corals adapt quickly enough to water temperature. “” A spokesman for the Ministry of Environment, who declined to be named, said that the Australian government will adhere to its refusal to grant
