San Francisco Bay marine life devastated by deadly algae bloom

Sounds like this is going to be rather extensive and expensive to fix, and yet they are blaming it on climate change, but go on to say the size and how long it is lasting is due to the crumbling sewage infrastructure.

San Francisco will have to spend $14 billion filtering nutrients from human POOP to stop growth of huge algae bloom blamed for killing thousands of fish in city's famed bay
San Francisco Bay is covered in a giant algae bloom that first appeared in July
Officials say that treated human waste from the eight million residents is what is fueling the bloom
There are 37 plants in the region, with the smallest dumping 85 million gallons of treated human waste into the Bay that contains at least 5.5 tons of nitrogen
Officials say they could limit the amount of nutrients dumped into the Bay
This, however, would cost $14 billion to update all of the region's plants

California officials say it will cost $14 billion to upgrade aging wastewater facilities that are dumping nutrients from treated human sewage into San Francisco Bay, which are feeding a giant algae bloom that has lingered for more than two months and killed tens of thousands of fish.

The algae bloom, which appeared in late July, has grown to an immense size because of the tons of nutrients from urine and feces of the eight million Bay Area residents that is released into the waters daily - one plant alone dumps 85 million gallons a day that contains 5.5 tons of nitrogen.

Scientists say the bloom was triggered by climate change, but its size, amount of organisms and how long it has lasted is due human waste.

Well, it already is festering democrat lead sheet hole so might as well have the cesspool to match.

Well, they can join the club. Our rivers are too warm for the fish, and many parts have toxic algae blooms. The dead zones in the ocean off our coast are also growing. I guess it may not be long until fish and seafood are off the menu. Eat as much sashimi and sushi rolls as you can before they start in with the lab-grown fish.

Maybe we will get lucky and the giant ice cube in Antarctica will cool the oceans a tad when it finally slides in.

Most likely due to green Cali not managing their agricultural runoff properly, just like they can't manage their electric grid to charge all those electric cars when it's warm outside and like they can't manage their forests to prevent forest fires.

I don't think this is as simple as everyone makes it out to be.

With geo-engineering being ramped up, further still, we're starting to see absolutely massive side effects coming to surface now.

Mass animal die offs.
Mass flooding.
Creepy and insane weather.
Poison waste, Mass pollution and now nuclear disasters.

I think we're already too late to manage this crisis. We've now made our bed.

Infrastructure problems are the last thing these socialist democrats will deal with. NY has problems with water runoff and aging infrastructure, Detroit, Chicago, all the major cites, but Ukraine and other BS is far more important, besides, global warming.
