Coral reefs are essential to the health of our oceans, our food supply and to protect coastal property from catastrophic storms. But as climate change pushes ocean temperatures to record highs, reefs all around the world are dying and global coral bleaching events have put more at higher risk. As part of our series Tipping Point, special correspondent Ben Tracy with @ClimateCentral shows us how scientists in Jamaica are using an unlikely tool to try to bring reefs back from the brink.

🔥On average NJ gets 14-28 hot, windy days a year. That's ripe for wildfires to develop. That's DOUBLE the amount of days it was in the 1970s, according to @climatecentral.

📈Large regions repeatedly saw temperatures 3–7°C above average, even as the most intense heat shifted across the continent over time. In some places, temperatures reached more than 10°C above normal.

Wildfire Community Preparedness Day is a reminder: wildfire smoke is surging — and so are the risks. Research from #ClimateCentral shows that: 🔥Exposure is 4x higher than in the late 2000s 🔥164,000 U.S. deaths are linked to smoke (with about 15,000 tied to climate change)
