looks like dumping things into water such that algae grows constitutes climate change.

Troll thread, but whatever. It genuinely irritates me how much "climate change" has taken over every single possible discussion of environmental issues. Estuarine dead zones, soil depletion, chemical pollution are all given less time, attention, and resources at the expense of talking about CO2 over and over again.

This is bad bait and you should feel bad for making this thread.

Lake Superior is known for its pristine waters, but a combination of nutrient additions from increasing human activity (including farming and development), warming temperatures and stormy conditions have resulted in more frequent blooms of potentially harmful algae.
Cyanobacteria thrive in freshwater systems with warmer water temperatures and elevated nutrient inputs
Unfortunately, as the planet warms, more and more parts of Canada are experiencing harmful algal blooms.
These blooms happen when hot temperatures occur in areas of fresh water where nutrient runoff drains.
Until recently, cyanobacterial blooms were never recorded in Lake Superior.
At the same time, Lake Superior is one of the fastest-warming lakes on the planet. In the past 150 years, Lake Superior has lost more than two months of ice cover. During the winter of 2024, only 12 per cent of Lake Superior’s surface was covered in ice, one-fifth of a typical winter.
Less ice cover has led to a longer open-water season, resulting in warmer water temperatures and less oxygen during the summer. Longer and warmer summers provide optimal conditions for algae to proliferate and for cyanobacteria to bloom.

This might blow your mind, but its all interrelated. Complex systems, amiright?

I really should have inb4'd. I knew I'd get some useless smug reply like this.

Climate change isnt related to anything because its not real

What on your list isn't related to climate change?
