"Climate change is causing rivers around the world to lose oxygen at a troubling rate, according to a study published May 15 in Science Advances. Researchers found that this widespread and persistent deoxygenation is affecting river ecosystems globally, with tropical rivers emerging as the most at risk. The findings highlight an urgent need for strategies to slow oxygen loss and protect freshwater ecosystems.

Overall, 78.8% of the rivers included in the study experienced deoxygenation."

Yay. Let's have All The Datacentres, endless strip mining and loads more fossil fuel extraction.
