Mass Death of Birds on Mexico's Coast Caused by Warm Ocean Temperatures
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Authorities on Mexico's Pacific coast say hundreds of wild birds that
have washed up along the shore died as a result of abnormally warm ocean
waters resulting from the climate crisis and the warming trend known as
El Niņo. Mexico's health ministry reports at least six people have died
this year from heat-related illnesses, with more extreme temperatures
forecast for this weekend.
