Bummer: CO2 will allegedly make Arctic water "hot", which will somehow cause year-round open water to freeze, which will kill whales

Climate change could put Canada's Arctic whales in hot water - The Globe and Mail
The report, entitled Whales In Hot Water?, also suggests that Arctic whales may face more competition for resources as warming oceans push whales north who would normally live in more temperate waters.

Dependable areas of year-round open water, called polynyas, could freeze over, trapping whales under the ice.
