Something else not mentioned is that if the oceans get warmer they release more methane which is trapped in ice under the surface of the ocean. That methane impacts the air and how much oxygen is in the air. (As well as other things) which makes it harder for us. Most of earths oxygen is produced in the ocean by keep and sea grass. If the water gets warmer those plants die and we loose oxygen.
