How hot and unpleasant does it have to get for you to consider swimming in this muck?

This is Qingdao China, where algae is continuing to spread along China’s coast (h/t: Boing Boing)

When the algae dies, it will create a dead zone in which plants and fish will not exist.

Minnesota officials report algae blooms in lakes here are a problem, too, although not nearly as dramatic as the ocean in China. Not yet, anyway.
