I'm constantly surprised, that the wealthy would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

PS : If you survive the oncoming disaster, do something about them if you find any of them alive.

A #wildfire is burning through a forested area in #Andong, #SouthKorea. One of South Korea's worst-ever wildfire outbreaks has killed at least 27 people, officials said with multiple raging blazes causing "unprecedented damage" & threatening two #UNESCO-listed sites.

When #marine animals ingest #DomoicAcid, they endure severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, disorientation, &, ultimately, death. These incidents often necessitate euthanasia due to the high mortality rates associated w/this toxin. This alarming rise in domoic acid poisoning cases not only threatens individual #MarineSpecies but also highlights the broader impacts #humans have on marine #ecosystems.

#Wildfires, including the #EatonFire & #PalisadesFire, have significant repercussions on #marine #ecosystems. The ash & debris from these fires can enter waterways & eventually the #ocean, altering nutrient levels & fostering conditions favorable to the growth of harmful #AlgalBlooms. The #toxic byproducts from these fires can exacerbate #OceanWarming, further promoting the frequency of these toxic blooms. This can lead to increased production of #DomoicAcid.

#DomoicAcid is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain phytoplankton species, which are significant contributors to harmful #AlgalBlooms. These toxins accumulate in the tissues of #MarineMammals & other #wildlife consuming contaminated prey. Recent changes in #ocean conditions,…intensified by #environmental factors such as the #EatonFire & #PalisadesFire, have accelerated the proliferation of these harmful algal blooms.

#Crisis On The Coast: #DomoicAcid Poisoning Strands 140 #SeaLions & 50 #Dolphins On #California Beaches
The recent influx of #marine #wildlife affected by domoic acid poisoning off the coast of Southern California underscores a critical #environmental crisis, w/≧140 sea lions suffering from this debilitating poison & reports of at least 50 stranded dolphins along local beaches.
