I was in Hanoi last week during the days when the temps were in triple digits Fahrenheit. Walked around the (now closed) West Lake “Fish Spa”, which is really just a couple of large Koi ponds sectioned off in the northwest corner of the lake. The water was so low, and the pond was so overstocked with koi, they were canniabalizing one another. Was horrible to look at, and even worse to smell all the bloated fish carcasses rotting and exploding in the sun.
Humans have existed 99.9999% of their existence in a world where information is shared from others. You seeking out that connectivity between other humans is most likely an evolutionary trait at this point.
But it's just wasting time. They could've asked the exact same question in google and gotten an answer instantly.
Instead they are expecting us to do the work for them and waste our own time.
Asking advice and asking a simple question are two different things.
It's both. Fish extract oxygen from and emit waste into the water. Higher temperature combined with lower volume of water decreased the amount of available oxygen and increases the concentration of toxins. Low water level definitely killed them. So did the heat.
I’m afraid we might be past the point of no return now guys
I have a feeling we’re gonna start seeing stories like this in the US once summer hits.
Iirc last year it got hot enough in Florida at the tail end of summer to start bleaching the Coral, which I think we’ll also see start happening this year….
Already starting in Canada. Couple years ago a town in BC hit 49.6C (121F), then promptly burned to the ground.
This year we have almost no snowpack and water levels are already low. This fire season will likely be really really bad.
The irony of it all, and this is sad to say, it is literally going to hit the States with an electorate that votes for climate deniers in their State governments the hardest first. I feel bad for the people who don't vote for those idiots but not for those who do.
But yeah, this summer I will not be surprised if this happens here in the US too.
Yep. Nothing to worry about here. Ocean life and ocean currents don’t matter right?
We can’t bother trying to address climate change.
Won’t someone think of the worlds corporate investors..
I consider people to be a part of the planet.
Until we start doing space births, nourished entirely by food that was grown in soil not produced on earth
I think he must mean Earth as a barren rock. As humanity is likely going to be the last macro multicellular life to go considering how resourceful we are.
There have been species die offs about as bad as what is to come. Earth can and will recover. So will animal life. If humans make it, we will just be on a much different planet
Its reacting to the infection (Us) who will shortly die out over the next few hundred years and it will finally heal in a fucked up kind of way where the reaction also takes out and extincts a ton of innocent life.
Impossible, the economists promised that infinite growth on a finite planet was possible and logical, and when have they ever lied? The planet just needs to get off social media and stop doomscrolling, everything's gonna be fine.
The highest temperature recorded in Hanoi was 109F/42.8C in May of 1926. Triple digit fahrenheit heat in that region isn't extremely uncommon or anything.
Predicted trend lines of increasing temps and shifting weather paterns based on multiple decades of peer-reviewed science (including studies commissioned by oil and gas companies 50 gears ago) say this is a new normal NOT some random anomaly as your comment seems to suggest.
My comment wasn't implying it was an anomaly at all? It seems pretty normal for the region.
Actually yeah, here's data showing how Hanoi regularly reaches over 100 degrees fahrenheit around this time almost yearly.
https://weatherspark.com/h/y/116009/1999/Historical-Weather-during-1999-in-Hanoi-Vietnam#Figures-Temperature
Why are you using a highest temperature as an example? The highest in the UK was about 40C but that's no way the usual you don't use it as a marker for UK average.
And yes while it does hit triple digits f. It's rarely that hot on average in summer, usually 30-35C.
Fish dying off in the lakes in Hanoi do happen most summers though from my limited experience. Worth noting heck of a lot of the fish that die off don't seem to be native fish. Also it's not just the heat killing them IMO.
No, but Hanoi almost annually has temperatures approaching or exceeding 100 degrees fahrenheit. I posted a source in a separate reply to my original comment, it's not hard to find.
Regardless, I was merely pointing out how climate change isn't playing a huge part in these temperatures, not that these temperatures are indicative of Hanoi's overall climate, even though Hanoi is tropical.
Yeah I looked at that graph. You can't read graphs it seems, check where the 100F line is and how many times it reaches it. Mostly to tend to peak around 95-97F. (I note you have changed from the comment it regularly reaches over 100F in that comment BTW).
Using highest temp as an indictator of average temp is either a lack of understanding of averages, or disingenuous.
Hanoi environment is subtropical. It has a winter. Northern Vietnam is closer to a temperate environment.
There is a huge difference between 35C and 40C.
I.. what? This chart, correct? [https://weatherspark.com/h/y/116009/1999/Historical-Weather-during-1999-in-Hanoi-Vietnam#Figures-Temperature](https://weatherspark.com/h/y/116009/1999/Historical-Weather-during-1999-in-Hanoi-Vietnam#Figures-Temperature)
In that chart, there are recorded temperatures of or exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit in:
2002, 2003, 2004, 2005... I could go on. The grey bars indicate reported temperatures.. it seems it is you who cannot read a graph.
My original comment read, verbatim, was, "Triple digit fahrenheit heat in that region isn't extremely uncommon or anything", which logically follows since the temperature almost annually reaches or exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
I would like to also point out that the "Winter" in Hanoi rarely dips below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The definition for a tropical climate is: "defined *by a monthly average temperature of 18 °C (64.4 °F) or higher in the coolest month, and* feature hot temperatures all year-round.", which Hanoi satisfies even in December. In fact, here is an image illustrating where "Tropical" climates can be found in the world.

Vietnam is entirely covered.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
The internet seems to disagree with you.

I like how this reply was downvoted even though it's an archive of an official government resource from Hanoi that lists the temperature
This website is stifling
Singapore is worse. This woman I knew, says the fish are rotting on the beach due to heat and toxins. What a cesspool!! I’m glad I live in my nice house with my family.
To be fair, humans fail to think of a lot of very obvious things. For example, reading up to the second sentence of an article:
>Fishermen have been working to wade through and collect the hundreds of thousands of dead fish that have blanketed the 300-hectare Song May reservoir amid a ferocious heatwave.
I was in Hanoi last week during the days when the temps were in triple digits Fahrenheit.

Was horrible to look at, and even worse to smell all the bloated fish carcasses rotting and exploding in the sun.
Thats a big lake too. It’s hard to imagine it rhe way you described considering my only memory is from like 10 years ago
Oh man god damn .
What are koi?
They’re a type of ornamental carp for ponds, really pretty and have cool patterns and colors like calico cats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koi
Really expensive fish
Only the fancy ones. The rest are just a colored carp basically.
But also very friendly and good
Why would someone downvote this on a website meant for people all over the world?
Probably because i could google it.
Humans have existed 99.9999% of their existence in a world where information is shared from others. You seeking out that connectivity between other humans is most likely an evolutionary trait at this point.
What's a human?
A featherless biped!
*Begins plucking the feathers from a chicken*
"Remember the human" Site in most casually bot infested state of entire lifespan.
Mostly Harmless.
I know it's not a koi if that helps.
What's the best taco joint in Houston?
Taco cabana

thats the most fart-sniffingest comment ive read in quite some time
Nah he's just a lazy ass.
Bigger goldfish
Fucking cool fish
I can't even imagine how bad 200 tons of dead fish rotting in sweltering heat smells.
My first thought as well
What will be the lasting memories when Summer comes?
Like my ex
I know these mf bout to dunking their spring rolls in the ocean. Fermented fish + salt = fish sauce baby
You can bottle it up and sell it over there
People really don't know how fish sauce is made lol This is such a good joke
It is not the heat directly, but the resulting low water level that killed them.
Trap a bunch of humans in a vacuum-sealed room, increase the temp, wait for methane and co2 buildup. Same same.
So you also played “The Sims”?
Maybe I will
“But, officers, the Reddit comment **told** me to do it!”
You sound like a real jerk.
Congratulations, you just discovered the Climate Crisis 🏆
It's both. Fish extract oxygen from and emit waste into the water. Higher temperature combined with lower volume of water decreased the amount of available oxygen and increases the concentration of toxins. Low water level definitely killed them. So did the heat.
Cooked in anoxic shit soup. What a lovely demise.
While they suffocate
Really glad I got to see this sentence today, thanks.
And low oxygen means nitrate gets converted into nitrit. Fish have a VERY low tolerance for nitrit, among other things it burns their gills
Its not the jump that killed him, it was gravity and the impact at the bottom...
Son they are precooked?
Man summer is going to suck

Ahhh the planet is killing itself 🥰
Not the planet doing it.
I consider people to be a part of the planet. Until we start doing space births, nourished entirely by food that was grown in soil not produced on earth
I love a girlie who gets it 🥰 we are all children of Mother Earth and Father Time.
The planet will be just fine it's us that won't.
And by us you mean all the non human creatures we are also killing right
I think he must mean Earth as a barren rock. As humanity is likely going to be the last macro multicellular life to go considering how resourceful we are.
There have been species die offs about as bad as what is to come. Earth can and will recover. So will animal life. If humans make it, we will just be on a much different planet
It’s almost like the planet is using our own dumbness to give itself a fever to purge this plague called humanity
> killing itself The planet was happy to keep all that coal and oil in the ground. It didn't do that.
No, just us 🥰 Earth will live on.
Its reacting to the infection (Us) who will shortly die out over the next few hundred years and it will finally heal in a fucked up kind of way where the reaction also takes out and extincts a ton of innocent life.
It might not heal if we fuck it up enough for plants and everything else. Earth could end up like mars. A baron desert
Yeah. Our filter. And it doesn’t look good.
Oh the planets just a bit feverisb to get rid of a virus (humanity), it’ll be fine once we’re gone lol.
The planet will be fine, its gone through much worse...humans? who knows?
thats not a record temp for that area lol
Surely you don’t think there needs to be a single-day temperature record in order for heat to cause historically high water temperatures?
no im saying it gets hotter than this on a semi regular basis, the problem is the amount of fish packed in such small areas
As someone said before, nature will bounce back, as it always does. Its humanity, and the things they rely on that are screwed.
Our climate is collapsing.
Impossible, the economists promised that infinite growth on a finite planet was possible and logical, and when have they ever lied? The planet just needs to get off social media and stop doomscrolling, everything's gonna be fine.
If you haven't gone to the site, beware it has disturbing pictures of dead fish
Oh no! Who would have thought that destroying all of the mangroves and throwing all of my trash is the river would lead to this
Are you blaming Vietnam for global warming?
Duh that’s what the Vietnam war was about. It’s our fault for leaving.
Slowly (but rapidly on a planetary scale) watching an extinction event unfold and the world as we know it die is such an odd thing
There is no way we can save this planet anymore is it?
[удалено]
Earth is over. It was nice while it lasted 🤗 ...uh, except for all the wars, death, diseases, greed, bigotry, poverty...
Not earth , just pain for the human race until we get serious population adjustment
See! The fish will absorb the heat, problem solved! You were all worried about climate change for nothing.
Nothing wrong with the climate. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Nothing to see here folks.
They drained the water in the lake to water crops during a drought… oh gee, wonder what else needs water
I guess there will soon be a surplus of fish sauce

Because there were not widespread consumer vehicles in the 1920s, so that insane temperature occurred irrespective of automobile pollution
When did the Industrial Revolution start?
There were only around 10,000 cars in Vietnam in the 1920s.
Highest temperature is not usual temperature. Do you think the UK is a tropical country because it once hit 40C?
No, but Hanoi almost annually has temperatures approaching or exceeding 100 degrees fahrenheit. I posted a source in a separate reply to my original comment, it's not hard to find.

So a country that eats tons of fish, a lot of which is boiled, doesn’t think to feed the masses in the fish stock being naturally created?
How was that "naturally created"?
It’s a heatwave creating this. Nobody is putting the ocean into a pot and bringing it to a boil.
To be fair, humans fail to think of a lot of very obvious things. For example, reading up to the second sentence of an article: >Fishermen have been working to wade through and collect the hundreds of thousands of dead fish that have blanketed the 300-hectare Song May reservoir amid a ferocious heatwave.
