# Recent headline: Caribbean coral suffers record die-off. (* 3/31/06 *)
# Costal ocean temperatures are so high that sea corals are being killed globally.
* Up to 90% of corals are dead or dying in many areas.
* It is now too late to derail or delay the disaster.
# The increase in the temperature of the oceans is providing fuel for stronger and more frequent hurricances and typhoons - like last year when we saw a record number of hurricanes in the Caribbean. Japan also set a record for the number of typhoons to hit Japan.
# Sea levels are slowly increasing, threatening cities such as Venice, Italy
* Sea level as measured at San Francisco, California, USA.
