Climate breakdown is wiping out underwater kelp forests with catastrophic consequences for life on Earth. 
"The impact of losing the kelp forests would be the same as cutting down all the trees on the land.
All the animals would be affected.
It is the same in the oceans.
If we lose the physical structure of the habitat, we lose the ecosystems."

"What is really concerning though, is that kelp forests living in warmer waters contain on average 3 times less carbon than those living in colder waters.
This suggests that future ocean warming will decrease the capacity of kelp forests to absorb carbon"
