Scientists Think Climate Change Is Causing Alzheimer’s-Like Brain Damage in Dolphins

Well, here’s a bummer of a story. Dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s, and climate change might be the one driving them senile.
That ultimately means that we are giving dolphins Alzheimer’s. Add it to the ever-growing list of scary effects of climate change that are suddenly all rearing their ugly heads at the same time.
A new study published in Communication Biology examining the brains of 20 common bottlenose dolphins that stranded themselves in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon between 2010 and 2019 found they showed Alzheimer’s-like brain damage.
Dolphins that washed ashore during algal bloom seasons had brain concentrations of a neurotoxin called 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (2,4-DAB, for short) that were an astounding 2,900 times higher than those that beached during less toxic times.
