Instead of immediately making this an us vs them with theoretical climate deniers how about we focus on talking about how to improve science communication so that the article isn't something simultaneously dense and vague enough to be easily dismissed.

I'll pick on the US, because blaming India and China will incite their little public defenders to bury the thread.

The Gulf of Mexico is currently downstream of the US's crop production which dumps nitrogen and phosphorous into it, which is bad and causes problems like the article attempts to illustrate.

Are there actual measurements that even show this deoxygenation?

For example, I clicked on the random link in that paper (referenced as a proof of river oxygen decline) — the article was not even based on some actual data log but fucking deep learning model (which may or may not work)

Sorry, not going to be afraid.

Do you think climate change wipes us out before some other natural disaster?
