    I shudder to think of the impact this could have on plants and animals. We have already seen horrifying mass environmental death in the oceans (see: coral bleaching) and other crazy biological imbalances like red tides. Soon we are going to be experiencing similar insanity everywhere. Not just the ocean, not just that other part of the world that you yourself don’t live in - everywhere.
