Great Barrier Reef may partially recover from 'grim future' if global warming stays below 2C

New study by University of Queensland shows Great Barrier Reef could partially recover if global warming is limited to below 2C. Certain coral species are adapting to warmer oceans offering hope for recovery. Experts emphasize urgent need to reduce carbon emissions to save the reef from "rapid decline" and potential "near collapse." Efforts to protect the biodiverse ecosystem should focus on resilient areas identified in the study.
