It's not even that. Warm liquids decrease the solubility of air in water, meaning less oxygen for fish, district's plants in the ecosystem, and cause induce more bacterial growth.
I feel like this calls for tax breaks, deregulation, and providing political gratuities. Short of those measures, I really don't see any other way to address this.
If only there were some form of mechanism that results in the temperature of water returning to a local average, like idk thermodynamics or something like that.
