Massive fish deaths in Australia

[Catherine]

There are whole streams whose fish have died. This is a side effect of the brush fires. The land is a charred mess covered in ash. Where the rains have come, the ash and fire debris have washed into the rivers. The water becomes a thick sludge and the oxygen levels drop drastically. Fish are unable to breath and they die.

This is just another consequence of the ongoing disaster. It will take years for the land to recover. It  is unclear if the animals will ever recover. Now the rivers are effected. It will take a long time for the rivers to run cleanly. There may be few if any fish who survive this.
It will take generations for their numbers to be restored, if it is even possible.

This is a disaster that just keeps compounding. What else could go wrong. 

What could go wrong is our failure to take climate change seriously. Then this level of disaster will just keep happening, in Australia and in other places.
