MODERATORS
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.
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?
