Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

AI created summarization:

Hundreds of wild birds have died along Mexico's Pacific coast.
Authorities initially suspected bird flu, but now believe the most likely cause is warmer oceans resulting from El Niño.
El Niño is a periodic natural phenomenon that warms the Pacific Ocean, fueling tropical cyclones, floods and rainfall across the Americas and elsewhere.
Scientists say this year's El Niño is particularly worrying, as coupled with climate change, it is expected to see the world grapple with record-high temperatures.
Warmer waters are causing fish to swim lower in search of colder waters, which is preventing seabirds from successfully hunting for their food.
Sea birds have also been found dead on the coasts of Peru and Chile.
At least six people have died in Mexico as a result of intense heat this warmer season. The deaths of the wild birds and the heat wave are a reminder of the dangers posed by climate change. El Niño is a natural phenomenon, but it is being exacerbated by climate change. This is causing more extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods and wildfires. These events are having a devastating impact on people and wildlife around the world.

It is important to take action to address climate change. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, investing in renewable energy and adapting to the impacts of climate change that are already happening.

I mean we should all do what we can and stay positive but at this point i feel like "addressing the climate change" is basically figuring how are we going to cope with all this shit cause I don't know if any of this is actually reversible. There are things that once set into motion theres ain't no stopping.
