Scientists claimed the algae bloom in the San Francisco Bay, which killed over 10k fish, was due to climate change. But it’s now clear that it is due to the failure of local governments to upgrade the region’s antiquated sewage treatment plants.
It’s true that the Bay Area is experiencing high temperatures, but algae blooms are the direct result of the failure of governments to upgrade plants so they remove the nutrients that the algae need in order to grow and bloom in the water.
The rush to blame the climate for environmental change is a prime example of what psychologists call ideologically-motivated cognition.
Got a hangnail? Climate change.
Neighbors dog barked last night? Climate change.
There’s always just one knee jerk answer to everything from the climate cult.
