Warm water can disrupt ecosystems:

  • by killing fish which are acclimatized to cooler water (this is the same reason that pet shops tell you to slowly introduce new fish into your tank by adjusting the water temperature
  • by encouraging the growth of warm water organisms (bacteria, trash fish and weeds)
  • by reducing the dissolved oxygen content f the water
  • by dissolving more pollutants into the water
  • by making chemical pollutants more active
