According to the science of Climate change the carbon dioxide is causing the ocean to become acidic, we are getting bleached corals and other shell fish are finding it harder and harder to live. On top of that the added heat is going to result in dead fish. One possible outcome could be a shutdown of ocean currents, this in turn will kill the ocean. You will cut off the supply of nutrients, the water at the equator will be unlivable for fish, and there will be an overwhelming decrease in oxygen supply in the ocean.
8*The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9*They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
So far climate change has not really resulted in anything that could be described as searing heat, though this winter (summer in Australia) they have had 120 degrees summer and intense drought. But if enough ice from the poles melts it will change everything. The ice at the north and south pole are critical at keeping our climate even keel. Lose that and the weather at large portions of the earth can swing out of whack.

Who reading those verses before the advent of anthropogenic climate change would have imagined that human caused global warming was what the author of
Revelation was describing? Can you show me one Bible exegete who predicted anthropogenic global warming before science demonstrated it was happening? I know of none.
The prophesies of
Revelation express a future in symbols of such vagueness and ambiguity as to make interpretation nearly impossible before the event, rendering them useless as predictive tools. Now that a cataclysmic world event seems a likely possibility, however, Bible believers like yourself shoehorn details of the event into the prophecy in order to give the impression of an accurate "prediction".
Even now many Evangelical Christians like Brother Ohio deny that global warming is upon us or likely to happen in the near future. Why don't they see what you see? What is the point of a Biblical prediction that cannot be interpreted correctly before the event?
