Your linked article does not mention temperature once, except for that something similar could occur in a "hot, dry summer". The article seems to state fairly clearly that they need to do more research to determine what happened.
>linked to industrial pollution is the most likely culprit
>more research would be needed to determine the conditions that led to the algae's appearance.
Also, parent comments are talking about rivers in winter. A small increase in temperature, starting from winter temperatures would result in water that is still much cooler than summer temperatures, which fish seem to live just fine with.
- lapinot 4y agoDid you ever do any gardening or heard about any kind of development cycles? It's not because something is ok with some temperature in summer that the same temperature in winter is ok for the same being.
- ziddoap 4y agoGood thing they aren't warming up winter rivers to summer temperatures or causing some sort of strange deathly winter algae blooms, like the parent I replied to was talking about.
