More than a hundred dolphins have been found dead in the Brazilian Amazon amid an historic drought and record-high water temperatures that in places have exceeded 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
First there was Coral reef bleaching then there was the Florida hot tub ocean water this summer, and now river dolphins are basically boiling to death in their natural habitat. And these are just the atrocities we know of. There are undoubtedly even more climate change atrocities happening in the unmonitored vastness of the Earth’s oceans. 😢🐬💀
Right-wing capitalists: “what if we just cut down more of the Amazon? that’ll fix things, right?”
About 39 °C
Totally normal - nothing to see here…
This is in the southern hemisphere, it’s the end of winter/beginning of summer there and the water temperature is already that high. When do we start holding corporations/governments accountable?
The Amazon is so close to the Equator that the seasons don’t really affect the temperature that much. The main difference is that southern hemisphere winter is the dry season, hence the drought issues right now.
Not to downplay the role of climate change and deforestation, of course.
