Science tells us there have always been low oxygen death zones. Science also tells us surface water got more oxygen then deep water. That's why circulation is important. Also cold water can store oxygen longer and better then warm water.
Scientists worry because death zones are growing and already have an impact on fishing.

Today our climate is extremely unstable, there have been been only a few times in Earth history with similar drastic changes, all triggered mass extinction events.
Causing a extinction and kill your own species really means winning the Darwin Award.

a crash of oil prices would stop tar sand mining, because it's way more expensive then drilling and only viable if prices are high enough

it's definitely better then destroying forests and farmland to mine fossil fuel
