Vampire squid turns itself "inside out"

Threatened by ocean warming, the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) lives in the deep ocean, home to the largest ecosystems on our planet. A "living fossil," this animal has remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.

It's existed unchanged for millions of years and is threatened by current warming????
One of those kind of has to be false. If it's survived unchanged for millions of years it's been through both much warmer and much colder temperatures, meaning current warming is nothing this creature hasn't already survived many times over before.

Selective hearing?

"They are threatened by ocean warming, decreasing oxygen, pollution, over-fishing, industrialization, and dozens of other changes taking place in the deep."

Perhaps he's referring to a combination of the above? Personally, I don't know enough about this matter to defend or refute any of the points.
