50% of the world's oxygen is generated by phytoplankton, a small algae organism quite susceptible to ocean temperature changes. Screwing with the oxygen supply of the planet isn't smart.
Needless to say, the real reason why you don't care about any of this is that you're going to be dead when it happens. And your empathy for future people is near zero.
It's science fiction.

In 2000 al gore said Miami would be under water by 2012 and here we are today and the oceans haven't even risen an inch.
10 years ago the hysteria was "peak oil" now we're all going to drown from so called climate change. I wether what the next alarmist nonsense will be.
