They mentioned krill populations collapsing which would starve filter feeders like baleen whales. Climate change has a lot of implications that we're still nailing down. Changes in acidity, salinity, sea temps and a whole bunch of other things might cause a food chain to break down. If phytoplankton populations also start dyeing it'll be bad.

The two degrees is a global average. It's not going to be evenly distributed. Local temps have the potential to be much higher.
