Who says global warming is all bad? Not this study which says that Eurasian
warming is making the Arabian sea more productive:

Abstract
The recent trend of declining winter and spring snow cover over Eurasia is
causing a land-ocean thermal gradient that is particularly favorable to
stronger southwest (summer) monsoon winds. Since 1997, sea surface winds have
been strengthening over the western Arabian Sea. This escalation in the
intensity of summer monsoon winds, accompanied by enhanced upwelling and an
increase of more than 350% in average summertime phytoplankton biomass along
the coast and over 300% offshore, raises the possibility that the current
warming trend of the Eurasian landmass is making the Arabian Sea more
productive.
