It is happening, yes.
Most species move to different areas as salt percentage and temperature varies, unfortunately they travel at different speeds, so, when first species arrive to the new area, trophic chains are not closed yet, and most of them die or even the whole species is extinguished.
Another consequence is changes on behaviour patterns and even on its dna in r-species (like sea-flies), mutations or evolution helps some r-species survival.

Yes, and not only will the fish die, but if enough freshwater empties into the north Atlantic Ocean (if Greenland melts & breaks up) the ocean currents will stop flowing and Europe will go into an Ice Age.
That is exactly what happened when the North American glaciers melted (formed the great lakes) and dumped too much fresh water into the Atlantic...
Think of it not as global warming, it is climate change - extreme climate change!

Global warming is just a new version of an old childrens tale, I think the title is Chicken Little.
The one where the chicken ran around saying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling"!
They will blame every hurricain, typhoon, and rainstorm on global warming over the next few years.
Just remember, all these events have happend for the last 10,000 years or so.

Yes, it's true, but I would be a lot more worried about overfishing, which is predicted to devastate the world's remaining commercial fisheries within the next 40 years.

The fishes which cannot survive in fresh water, eg fishes in salt water can die because of the low content in salt level.

It could be true. The freshwater could potentially throw off the PH balance of the saltwater ocean killing the marine life. Also, the melting of the icecaps could change the temperature of the ocean which could also kill marine life.
