It isn’t good. According to a paper in the journal Science, the warming will encourage cyanobacterial and algal blooms with several biological effects: These blooms increase the turbidity of aquatic ecosystems, smothering aquatic plants and thereby suppressing important invertebrate and fish habitats. Die-off of blooms may deplete oxygen, killing fish. Some cyanobacteria produce toxins, which can cause serious and occasionally fatal human liver, digestive, neurological, and skin diseases. Cyanobacterial blooms thus threaten many aquatic ecosystems, including Lake Victoria in Africa, Lake Erie in North America, Lake Taihu in China, and the Baltic Sea in Europe. — Blooms like it hot, H W Paerl and J Huisman Science 4 April 2008: 57-58 quoted by Resilience Science [...] [...] Meanwhile, aquatic microbiologists have been trying to establish the effect of warming on the ecosystem.
