No evidence to support any of 13 pages of possible causes, so it must be climate change.
It happened once before in the period 1981-1988, and again in 2015. That's not "climate", that's "weather".
They are going to do experiments on the bacterium to try and explain how the hot, wet weather causes it to enter the antelope's blood and create toxins. So, right now, it's 100% theory. They have the "what", but have no idea about "why".
We have a problem of mutated bacteria strains becoming resistant to antibiotics. We have insects that have become insecticide resistant. Wouldn't the simplest explanation be the bacteria experienced something that caused it to change?
Hopefully the experimentation finds the actual cause. Blaming Climate Change so early in the investigation seems lazy, as if they are attempting to create more fear over a highly politicized environmental issue.
