Went for a drive down our beautiful metropolitan beaches in #adelaide, #Australia
#christmas eve they are full of people, with many staying overnight.
So empty, I counted 3 people down 2km.
Where people walked their dogs, empty.
Beaches untouched by human foot.
All because of #climatecrisis #algeabloom
Most sealife is dead now, even SAEGULS are gone.
SEAGULS!!!
GONE!!!
Victims of climate change.
I picked up some random colourful pieces of wrapper left on a picnic table, so it wouldn't get into the ocean and kill birds or fish...
...then I remembered that all the fish and many of the sea birds are dead due to #algeabloom 😢
The #algeabloom destroying life in South #Australia beaches is called "KARENia Mikimotoi"
FFS Sea death Karen 😑
Even as turd administration in the US is erasing #climatecatastrophe here are the realities of coastal life in South #Australia, right now;
"On Thursday afternoon, a SA Health spokesperson said "from time to time" strong winds and wave action may cause people living near affected beaches to experience eye, skin or respiratory symptoms.
"If this happens, stay indoors with windows closed until conditions change or symptoms resolve," it said in a statement."
A long (almost 2h) Flinders University forum video on the #algeabloom going into details as to what the #climatecatastrophe looks like...

Iron Bacteria
You just keep growing
Ever showing
My failure to keep up
Pink ring around the drain
I am full of self disdain
Why can't I do a simple task
Daily cleaning that never lasts
I want my home to be
A sanctuary
But it's fully unsanitary
