<human>:  How does climate change affect ocean currents?
<bot>: Climate change has a significant impact on ocean currents, as rising temperatures can alter the rate of the currents and their patterns. This can affect the distribution of plankton, marine organisms, and the travel of coastal currents. Additionally, warmer waters can reduce the amount of oxygen in the ocean and increase the acidity of the water, both of which can have a negative effect on sea life.
