For a start, how about the melting of the arctic ice pack and the
increasingly warming oceans which resulted in the loss of viable wildlife
habitat and a reduced population of many species such as Salmon, Polar
Bears, Orca Whales, Oyster, Coral Reefs. etc, etc.
For what it's worth I've attached two URLs that addresses the ocean warming
issue. However, Craig being an avid "Denier", I await his next round of "new
Science" and it's resulting obfuscation.

Generally you first identify a problem and then devise a fix; this seldom
happens simultaneously.
