"Despite the ocean's vital importance, the ocean is changing at a rapid rate due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing, making it one of the most serious environmental issues we face today," a Google spokesperson told us.
These governments have suppressed or misrepresented inconvenient findings on climate change, pollution, pesticides, fisheries and wildlife.
Climate change, pollution from land-based chemicals and coastal development were cited as the reef's main threats.
By that time, it was clear that developing the Natuna site would set off a huge amount of climate change pollution – effectively a "carbon bomb", according to Bernstein.
The Administration simply doesn't seem to rely on the advice of scientists on a wide range of issues: climate change, pollution, and biomedical research, for example.
The reef's diversity of life faces numerous threats such as climate change, pollution, fishing and outbreaks of the coral-preying crown-of-thorns starfish.
The threats are numerous: oil spills, lack of fish, climate change, pollution, loss of habitat, over-fishing and living too close to humans.
The researchers cited climate change, pollution and deforestation as huge threats to the world's entire ecosystem – and its death would probably take us with it.
