[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] On the morning of the 17th, millions of dead fish rushed into the river in Menindee, a small town in New South Wales, Australia, where more than 500 people live. Because of the heat wave affecting the Darling-Baaka river (Darling-Baaka river).

According to the "BBC" report, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW Department of Primary Industries) stated that ecosystems that have experienced major floods have been subjected to extreme pressure under the heat wave to cause this phenomenon.

This is the largest dead fish incident in Menindi. A similar situation happened 3 years ago. Due to the impact of rotting fish carcasses, locals expect more dead fish.

Resident Graeme McCrabb (Graeme McCrabb) pointed out that people in the town rely on the Darling-Baka River for water supply, so no one will be able to get household water in the next few days.

The temperature in Menindi today (18th) is expected to be as high as 41 degrees Celsius. In fact, after the climate has been influenced by humans, heat waves have become more frequent, more intense and last longer.

Global temperatures have risen by 1.1 degrees Celsius since the industrial age and will continue to rise unless governments slash carbon emissions.
