Global warming kills six million river dwellers in Bolivia

Bet you haven't heard this one: On the blog Boliviabella.com we find the following:

1 Million Fish Dead in Bolivian Ecological Disaster

3 Aug. 2010 - (Update: The number of dead fish and other water wildlife now estimated at 6 million.)

An estimated six million fish and thousands of alligators, turtles, dolphins and other river wildlife are floating dead in numerous Bolivian rivers in Santa Cruz, Beni and Tarija regions. The extreme cold front that hit Bolivia in mid-July caused water temperatures to dip below the minimum that river life can tolerate. As a consequence, rivers, lakes, lagoons and fisheries are brimming with decomposing fish and other creatures.

Nothing like this has ever been seen in this magnitude in Bolivia. Inhabitants of riverside communities report the smell is nauseating and can be detected as far as a kilometer away from river. Authorities are worried about threats to public health, especially in communities that also use river water for bathing and drinking.

Man, that global warming is a bitch, eh?

Wait... What...?

Six million dead fish, and a threat to public health from contaminated drinking water--wouldn't you think that would be a significant story? So, try a google search. Result (as of 7 Aug): No stories in U.S. media.

Gee, wonder why ?
