Not just the color, but also the pH levels.

Well(just to be the Devil's advocate)...on the face of it that would seem to be a good thing. That the ocean is getting greener. Like "the desert blooming" on land. Plant life is the foundation of any ecosystem. So if the gets more algae then there is more food for zooplankton, and more food every other kind of animal life including fish. More productive is good.

More productive is good to a point, but the issue with algae blooms is that they often grow at unsustainable rates, die-off and deplete oxygen levels as they decompose.

Warmer water already has a lower maximum oxygen concentration, this is a big part of why warmer waters aren't inherently more productive.

Pssh, you actually listen to the globalist conspiracy of scientists? Just do your own research bro, the totally not-corrupted petrochemical sponsored scientists know that global warming doesn't exist, but if it did it would be good and also that it's totally not related to greenhouse gases.

Now excuse me while I drink this bleach to keep the diseases away. I always do my own research.
