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 [38.8 °C].
The dead dolphins were all found in Lake Tefé over the past seven days, according to the Mamirauá Institute, a research facility funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science.
The institute said such a high number of deaths was unusual and suggested record-high lake temperatures and an historic drought in the Amazon may have been the cause.
The news is likely to add to the concerns of climate scientists over the effects human activity and extreme droughts are having on the region.
It gets easier to process the more you accept that we are bound for civilizational collapse, due to runaway climate catastrophes.
I figure we’ve got about 10 years of relative normalcy left. After that I feel like the world will be so unstable, famine, wars, mass migration, natural disasters etc. will just cripple humanity
Depending on what one means by normalcy, we have already started to deviate from it. With it mostly being felt economically, at the moment.
Yeah that’s why I said relative normalcy. Just like, most people are still going to work every day, grocery stores still have decent stock, regular services and infrastructure is still maintained, etc etc
I used to like going out in summer mid-day. Now I usually prefer to stay indoors. It’s only the few morning hours when I can stand the temperature. But 30°C at 65% air moisture und no shade or water to bathe to be found… No thank you.
It gets easier to process when you remember you can always just fucking kill yourself when society starts to collapse. So, sit back…have some fun, and remember where the exits are.
Orrr…
Kill the rich arseholes responsible and use their corpses to fertilise the ground so that we can grow some trees .
For a Klingons, that was the plan all along.
I see you’re a fellow romantic.
I wait till the third date to ask for feet pics
