And the sad thing is that, as these coral reefs are lost -- and scientists tell us that any level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere above 350 parts per million is too dangerous for the survival of these reefs -- we are not only risking the extinction of the entire coral species, the warm water corals, we're not only risking a fourth of all fish species which are in the oceans, but we are risking the very lives and livelihoods of more than 500 million people who live in the developing world in poor countries.
Tužna vijest je, kako su ti grebeni  izgubljeni -- a znanstvenici nam govore da bilo koja količina ugljičnog dioksida u atmosferi iznad 350 dijelova u milijun je preopasna za opstanak ovih grebena -- ne riskiramo samo smrt cijele vrste koralja, koralja toplih voda, ne riskiramo samo četvrtinu svih riba u oceanu, već riskiramo živote i dobrobit više od 500 milijuna ljudi koji žive u tim državama u razvoju.
