Deadly 360-Square-Mile Algae Bloom in Lake Erie: A Growing Climate Crisis

Doug McIntyre discusses the recurring deadly algae bloom in western Lake Erie, which has expanded to 360 square miles. This toxic bloom, driven by fertilizer runoff, creates low-oxygen zones dangerous to both animals and fish. The algae, turning into harmful scum, poses significant risks, particularly when it spreads toward populated areas like Cleveland. McIntyre highlights how this ongoing environmental issue is an example of human-induced climate change and urges people to monitor the annual bloom maps, especially in August.
