Algae are enthusiastically throwing a lake party after feasting on excess nutrients; fish are definitely uninvited.
Planet & Future

Description

An algal bloom spreads a green carpet across water bodies, monopolizing the planet’s nutrients with unrepentant gusto. Though pitched as a scenic makeover, it in fact steals oxygen from fish and stages a grand funeral beneath the surface. This feast of eutrophication sees only algae at the banquet, akin to a billionaire dining solo at everyone else’s dinner. Fueled by warming temperatures and fertilizer runoff, the spectacle is a tragic—yet absurd—cocktail party with no guests invited. That verdant allure is hailed as beauty even as it cloaks a silent executioner.
