So as undergrad I did take an elective in which we modeled some basic algae growth in a moving body of water, a river bed. Temperature was one ingredient (and "sunlight", co2, "nutritions" etc., flow speed). Besides that Navier Stokes is really annoying. Small changes in temperature had a huge impact on static weight of algae and amount of dispersed algae.
In other words can anyone tell me what the effects will be for the coastal ecology with such huge and lasting high temperatures?
I'm not a full ecologist yet, only just started my degree, but as far as I know, everything from salinity to acidity and oxygen levels will be affected, which is very, very bad.
some indicators will go waaaaaaaaay up and others will go waaaaaaaaaay down and they'll try to self correct but they won't be able to because now everything's going up and down really quickly and scientists will all be like 'wtf we cant even' and AI won't be able to help because the training data doesn't exist for a shitshow of this magnitude meanwhile in the real world things will probably smell really bad and be inedible for a while/forever.

Can't some disruptive geniuses just pay some engineers to come up with a robot to drop ice cubes in the water to cool it down?

Jeebus, are we really at the "leave the freezer door open to cool down your apartment" levels of problem solving already?
Anything, anything at all, but "maybe less bazinga yachts."
