We already are causing dead zones due to run off, perhaps the scale will not be large. There is evidence that this occurred in massive scales in the past, <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100624144105.htm" title="Higher Wetland Methane Emissions Caused by Climate Warming 40,000 Years Ago" rel="nofollow">so we need to find out more about these events. Fortunately life survived. Unfortunately, we don't know how much stress life experienced during these previous events. Anyway, however one looks at this situation-and so many others, it is not a pretty picture. We need to get estimates of degree and extent of the oceans affected.
