    It will move to cooler water, that is explicitly mentioned in the paper this article is based on. But the reduction of habitat area as a result of that will significantly reduce the total plankton biomass.

      Thank you. Makes sense that more plankton can grow (capture CO2 as well) if more of the ocean is cool enough. Headline implies worse than lower plankton population.
