In Queensland, Australia, thousands of jellyfish stings were recorded last week. Some researchers also say this jellyfish infestation could be one more thing to blame on climate change. “Unlike other species, jellyfish are stimulated by just about any change to the ecosystem. By 2017, there had been only two recorded fatalities in Queensland, according to the Department of Health there. Even though there is no definite way to predict future fatalities caused by jellyfish blooms, Australian researchers are concerned that the numbers could rise significantly.
