3、orals and species that live in the cold waters of the planets poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters.

If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica. A study of starfish found these typical ocean
5、 creatures grew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) than at normal conditionswhich is bad news for the shellfishes they live on.
