How does climate lead to an increase in algal blooms

Warmer temperatures prevent water from mixing, allowing algae to grow thicker and faster. Warmer water is easier for small organisms to move through and allows algae to float to the surface faster. Algal blooms absorb sunlight, making water even warmer and promoting more blooms.

Algal ( which could be dangerous for human health) usually only blooms during the summer since the temperature is warm and perfect for their growth and started to died after the temperature start being a little bit colder

But as the world become more and more warm through global warming, the earth provide more time for the Algal to bloom, which will significantly increase their amount
