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.
Wasteful shitty practice. It’s somewhat the fault of the home builders too. I tried building and they wouldn’t do much OTHER than mcmansions unless I pushed real HARD. They love all those upsells
We really need to pass some laws requiring some small, affordable homes get built. It’s so obvious that in a capitalist system given the option builders are going to prefer to build bigger more expensive home builds as they have a larger profit. So builders only build the biggest houses they think they can sell. Every. time.
Yup, homebuilders are getting record profits. They have 0 incentive to build smaller homes.
Starter homes are like minimum 300k now anyways as well so yeah… Idk what to do but wait for this house of cards to come crashing down
