A warming climate brings dire predictions for Minnesota fish

Fish kills are not uncommon in Minnesota, but a new study paints a dire future for fish in northern lakes.

"We were mainly curious how many of these mass fish die offs might happen under future climate change," said Simon Tye, a PhD candidate in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas and lead author of the study.

The study used a decade of documented fish kills across Minnesota and Wisconsin and more than one million water and air temperature profiles from 8,891 northern lakes.

It also used projections of future temperature increases as a result of climate change.

Assuming the current pace of climate change does not slow, the computer models predict a 600 percent increase in fish kills by 2100.

Battered by Hurricane Fiona, this is what a blackout looks like across Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, the full extent of the damage is still unclear as the storm has unleashed torrential rains across much of the island, causing massive flooding and landslides. Island officials have said that some roads, bridges and other infrastructure have been damaged or washed away as a result of the downpour.

5 years on, failures from Hurricane Maria loom large as Puerto Rico responds to Fiona.

The U.S. response to Maria was widely seen as wholly inadequate. As the island marks the anniversary of the Category 4 storm, the destruction caused by Fiona has emerged as a test of lessons learned.
