Needless to say, this rise in overall sea temperatures will eventually have a negative affect on what goes on within the oceans. We are seeing that in coral reefs etc.., etc.
Coral reefs die off for a lot of other reasons than warmer sea temperatures. We all know that the temperatures of the oceans vary from place to place. And if the seas warm sufficiently to kill off coral, then another part of the ocean that was too cold for coral growth would now become viable..

But part of the problem that is being overlooked is the breakdown of the marine food chain. Corals feast on phytoplankton and Zooplankton. But phytoplankton levels have declined by up to 50% since 1950, according to secchi disk and satellite data..

Bottom line.. we can't expect healthy coral reefs when the basic food they depend upon, Phytoplankton and Zooplankton, have decreased by nearly 50%..

Btw, atmospheric CO2 levels have increased by nearly an equal amount over the same time period.

Can it really just be coincidence? I call it the REAL "inconvenient truth"..
