Australian experts warns of dangers to coral attols. Coral attols are small coral islands, only slightly higher than present sea levels. Dr. Marshall Weisler, an expert on the prehistoric use of coral attols at the University of Queensland, states that due to rising sea levels caused by global warming, more than 200,000 people living on coral attols are in danger of losing their homes.

He said: “People have shown me where there used to be gardens, are now lagoons. There are coconut trees that are 20 meters off shore, half falling over.” Thank you Dr. Weisler for your efforts in helping us to understand how climate change is affecting the world around us. We pray for God’s grace to help us preserve our precious planet.
