The warmer the water, the less oxygen it contains. Probably why the cold polar waters are teaming with life.


Tropical waters have greater bio-diversity and teeming with life as well. Same phenomenon on land.


past a certain point it will only help algae, and they tend to kill marine life if they grow out of hand. Also warmer water means less oxygen.


"up to a certain limit".... which is being passed.....???


Can you point out regions of the oceans where water so hot that sea life can barely exist?

It's not the hot water per se. It's the lack of oxygen.

There are many dead zones.

Dead zones are usually caused by algae blooms or similar aren't they?


Why isn't the algae bloom being cleaned up by a commensurate zooplankton bloom?

I think this should demonstrate to everyone how disingenuous you're being. Also, downvoting doesn't make you right, nor does it stop the planet from boiling. ;)
