oh this is v bad

But number go up and isn't that all that matters

Shut up CNN

YIKES! 😬

i'll say it. That can't be good

-it will eventually affect the atmosphere too.

😭

Undoubtedly. At this stage a slowing marine current due to warming of ocean currents seems to be the main driver. We will wait for the peer reviewed science. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

"writhing"

2/2 the sea food industry here is ruined and the fishing fleet is up in arms. Both farmers and fishers generally vote for climate denying parties at election time. farmers just wrote off the fishing and sea food industry and they both wrote off the climate. It will be much worse in the summer

Epstein is the big story. Your leader is a pedo

And what’s fueling the marine heat wave ? CLIMATE CHANGE It’s happening worldwide

Oh no this is horrible

Animal agriculture. It’s the primary driver of eutrophication.

Just wondering if all the people who express concern on here are actually taking actions to lessen their energy use. Reason I’m making this statement is because I see people that talk the talk but aren’t walking the walk.

Yes, because climate change is real, no matter what your Great Dictator tells you to say.

I know the crew for this job.

When a species decides to destroy its environment.

Romans 8:22 *“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”*

Why is this platform on Bluesky?

Okay, tell us where and how you “studied it for 30 years.” And then give us examples of the kind of “weather modification” you are talking about. This should be an easy ask for someone with multiple degrees in… whatever field you are in.

Only one small mention of long term climate change. Did your Trump appointed media czar influence the story? Sure reads like it. Fascist appeasing cowards.

And who the 🦆 knows how big Rhode island is?

Maybe your network should comment on how slashing EPA and clean energy sourcing is only going to exacerbate this sea creature death spiral?

DECLARE A CLIMATE EMERGENCY leave fossil fuels IN THE GROUND, never to be burned

Thanks a lot Rhode Island

Instead of countries researching how they can destroy each other for greed and power, why not just stop!! Realise we have one planet and research into saving it from the harm we've caused!

How awful and sad!

Nutrient runoff from agriculture, primarily animal agriculture

Maybe 20 years ago, there was serious interest in using algae as a fuel sub for oil or coal. (also edible!) I lost track of why this failed to be viable, and I wonder if we should start thinking about it again, given that the oceans will continue to heat up & marine ecosystems will continue to die.

Global warming has been spoken about since I was a kid. This isn’t okay and very scary

We could have saved it but we were too damn cheap

Animal Ag must end. Media ignores the impact that Animal Ag has on Mother Earth, and focuses on emissions from Big Oil, instead.

Legit. Murray Watt and albo refuse to even declare it an emergency which would free up funding. Or at least that's where we sat Thurs/Fri. Absolutely shameful. With the majority Labor has you would think they could do something with it. But no. The vapes! Social media! Ffs

Likely it’s more about lost tax revenue given the huge duty on tobacco in Aus. Which is relatively easy to quantify whereas governments are too gutless to put realistic numbers against revenue losses due to environmental damage- unless it’s cotton or livestock farmers complaining.

Australia is the ONLY developed country that is on the deforestation hotspot list; primarily for pastureland. Guess which industry is primarily responsible for eutrophication…

This is in South Australia. the size of the algal bloom is significant because it is massive, in a bay and it is winter when the water should be cold. The east coast is much more effected by warming and the great barrier reef is dying from warming and fertiliser run off.

Heat or polution?

People are the worst

Animal agriculture. The algal blooms feed off nitrates from agricultural runoff and animal agriculture is the primary driver

😥

how soon till humanity goes extinct?

It already is, it’s where I live and unfortunately impacting dogs, so now we’re not allowing them to go swimming

😢

Where do they come from?

How eutrophication effects the water system. Excessive nitrates and phosphates from farms and sewage can promote the growth of algal blooms which then can choke the life out of rivers lakes and streams. A look at the process and what can be done to minimise the impact. youtu.be/gGDWsZNrF-8

The planet is not ok and our government is not going to protect the globe. Where can people find solutions? What can people do? Are we all just forced to watch as our planet slowly dies?

Why do you, all of a sudden, give a shit?🤨

Is there any route to recovery?

😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 bsky.app/profile/aell...

Australia has been a leader in climate denial….

Same sort of thing happens on Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast all the time. I am not saying they have the same cause, just that algae blooms are a sign of real trouble

Perhaps we should start listening to experts, and not the idiots whos profits are more important than our grandkids futures! Also, stop electing pedo morons into offices! Start using brain cells, and electe those who also have them, are not rapists, and listen to experts FFS!

Very harmful bloom

CNN reporting about climate impact?

Nope, algal blooms are direct result of eutrophication…primarily caused by animal agriculture.

Well, humanity had it going easy-breezy for the last 5000 years... 😭😭😭

The brightest minds at MIT, among others, have made that claim. Since the 1970s. The model has been tracking for over 50 years. It's not just a climate issue, it's a complex systems problem (climate, food, microplastics etc.) It's a mountain of snow. All is stable until the avalanche happens.

Kill the corporations. Oil, Dirty Manufacturing, Deforesters, all of them. Let them be the ones to crumble and burn before our planet does on their behalf. The planet's dyin, Cloud.

Here it comes....

Algal blooms are caused by eutrophication, which is primarily driven by animal agriculture.

When had the planets climates ever been static?

These blooms continue to grow and get worse every year. So many toxins have been pumped into certain parts of the coasts, drained into the ocean, wreaking damage everywhere it goes.

Tragic

Was just snorkeling in St John's USVI. The water was super warm and everything was bleached. No color, minimal life. 💔

😢

I blame trump for this

Now back to the seriousness that the oceans are much too warm due to global warming and causing permanent damage to oceanic wildlife and flora. How do we ever repair all the damage?

Wait till the coastal areas become uninhabitable due to toxic Cyanobacteria overgrowth.

This is tragic. We're killing our planet...

Just awful.

Why always Rhode Island? Is everything that's big the size of Rhode Island? What about square miles? Acres? How about Manhattans, Bronxes, Central Parks? Randy Charlat, Woonsocket

Thanks capitalism!

We are devastated it has happened here, but it's a harbinger of what's to come in many locations, the ocean is too warm now 😓

Oh no! Terrible!😭

Poor CNN... meanwhile the US has a giant dead zone that is ignored by coverage. Oh an algae blooms coming on a more regular basis soon. Keep your targeted messages out of my feed and stick to bla bla news.

I guess people from the US will use anything but the metric system for measurement, huh?

You vegan?

Great movie by the way. I love Leslie Neilson.

Trump’s unscientific energy priorities have come even as climate-change related weather hit the US. During the Texas catastrophe, Trump signed an executive order that added new treasury department restrictions on tax subsidies for wind and solar projects. In Scotland he shame Europe’ wind energy!

Meanwhile TChump just declassified greenhouse gasses as being harmful. Reason being he does not have the mental capacity to understand nor care about anything his successors did before him because he's smarter than them. In his own mind linked a true Narrascist.

eutrophication at its worst 🥀 can we stop putting phosphates/nitrates/runoff/etc in the water thanks

Isn’t this similar to conditions in the Permian Extinction?

Nope, it’s a direct consequence of nutrient runoff, primarily driven by animal agriculture.
