Global warming cooling kills millions of fish, thousands of alligators and dolphins
A record heat wave last month in Las Vegas, Washington, DC, and New York was headlined as proof of global warming. But mum’s the word among the media when it comes to the bitter, record cold wave gripping South America right now.

Argentina is actually colder than Antarctica and Bolivians are freezing their culos off. Even worse, Bolivia’s water-dependent wildlife is suffering tremendous losses.
BoliviaBella.com reveals the global warming cooling losses:
It's so cold in Bolivia that you can hear an alligator's teeth chattering before he takes your leg off
Over 1 million fish (now updated to more than 6 million fish) and thousands of alligators, turtles, dolphins and other river wildlife are floating dead in numerous Bolivian rivers in the three eastern/southern departments of Santa Cruz, Beni and Tarija. The extreme cold front that hit Bolivia in mid-July caused water temperatures to dip below the minimum temperatures river life can tolerate. As a consequence, rivers, lakes, lagoons and fisheries are brimming with decomposing fish and other creatures.
Unprecedented: Nothing like this has ever been seen in this magnitude in Bolivia. Inhabitants of riverside communities report the smell is nauseating and can be detected as far as a kilometer away from river banks. River communities, whose livelihoods depend on fishing, fear they’ll run out of food and will have nothing to sell. Authorities are concerned there will be a shortage of fish in markets and are more concerned by possible threats to public health, especially in communities that also use river water for bathing and drinking, but also fear contaminated or decaying fish may end up in market stalls. They’ve begun a campaign to ensure market vendors and the public know how to tell the difference between fresh and unhealthy fish.
Have you seen this news on the network news (assuming you’re one of the few people still watching network news)? Have you read any headlines mentioning the fact that California is experiencing its coolest summer in decades? Have you read that Australia’s drought is over? Or that the Canadian plains are experiencing the year with no summer?
Probably not. Katie Couric, Brian Williams and Diane Sawyer wanted to report those stories after they reported the record heat in Las Vegas, New York and Washington, DC, but oops, look at the clock. They’re out of time.
