That could use a better warning of disturbing content.

Only if you're a whale.

Only if you're a whale.

Or a child.

Why are so many whales beaching themselves along the east coast? Only science can tell:

They are leaning towards the windmills that were constructed along the eastern seaboard.

 

[Crick]

They are leaning towards the windmills that were constructed along the eastern seaboard.

First, there are a grand total of SEVEN wind turbines in place on the ENTIRE US east coast. There are only TWO projects in development.

The most likely cause for the whales beaching themselves is, directly or indirectly, A WARMING OCEAN

Dead whales are washing up on the East Coast. The reason remains a mystery.

The recent whale deaths have fueled misinformation that offshore wind turbines are to blame, but scientists say it's not the true culprit.

The East Coast Whale Die-Offs: Unraveling the Causes

Activists are blaming a recent spate of humpback strandings off New York and New Jersey on seismic exploration by offshore wind companies. But scientists say the deaths are not unusual and are likely due to increased ship traffic and entanglements with fishing gear.

Whales Are Dying Along The East Coast Of America And Researchers Aren't Sure Why

The cause hasn’t yet been found, but where there's a whale there's a way.

Why are so many whales getting stranded on US beaches?

Nearly two dozen whales have been beached on the US Atlantic coast in the past three months – some were struck by boats while others may have been caught by changing ocean currents related to climate change

It's the sonic signals used in exploration of where to put the windmills.

Seismic exploration is harmful to whales, but its been going on in every ocean on the planet for decades. The people doing it take measures to try to avoid harming whales. They keep trained lookouts and ramp up sound levels in an attempt to get nearby whales to move away before levels get dangerous. No one uses explosives anymore but completely controllable airguns.

Besides, necropsies would show that they had been injured by extreme sound pressure and that has not been the case.

 

[EMH]

Is anyone surprised that crick claims the Co2 fraud is responsible...

LOL!!!

If there are real and urgent environmental problems, the Co2 fraud is always there to misdiagnose to continue to bilk the taxpayer...

The whales aren't injured. The sonics confuse them.

The envirowackos cannot understand that CO2 is the foundation of all life on earth.

This is probably an effect of the left's general rejection of science.

Why would they not just throw a rope over that and tug it out into the water and let nature take its course?

The Co2 fraud is also misdiagnosing the fires, which are caused by too many humans consuming too much fresh water from nature, and that needs to stop and reverse.

The Co2 fraud is just a giant money sucking machine that consumes money and returns factless fear and all sorts of bull like electric cars that are not needed as well as wasting people's time thinking about it. The sooner we shut off the Co2 fraud, the sooner we can actually address real environmental issues and stop pretending Co2 is any sort of problem, which it never was.

So, you think my links are false? How about a little evidence?

 

[Crick]

The whales aren't injured. The sonics confuse them.

That is incorrect. Certainly excess noise can confuse their navigation but whales do not die from confusion. They die when they get their eardrums ruptured by loud sonar blasts. That has happened on multiple occasions from active naval sonars and is quickly discernible in necropsies. Besides, as pointed out, the amount of seismic testing taking place off the East coast is absolutely trivial compared to what has been taking place worldwide for decades in the search for oil and is conducted in a controlled fashion these days using several mitigating strategies to specifically avoid injuring whales. Necropsies on the whales have indicated that the most have died from entanglement in fishing gear and ship collisions. Environmentalists have suggested that warming oceans have caused prey fish and plankton to relocate which has had the effect of pushing whales closer to shore creating greater exposure to fishing and freight traffic.

There is no evidence to your claims of whales dying from temperature change.

For one thing, moron; Whales are mammals and can easily adapt to changing temperatures, they do it every year.

Orcas and porpoises don't die in the Gulf of Mexico when it's 80 degrees. They are built like whales.

Appeal to authority fallacy.

Appeal to authority​

Definition: Often we add strength to our arguments by referring to respected sources or authorities and explaining their positions on the issues we’re discussing. If, however, we try to get readers to agree with us simply by impressing them with a famous name or by appealing to a supposed authority who really isn’t much of an expert, we commit the fallacy of appeal to authority.

Example: “We should abolish the death penalty. Many respected people, such as actor Guy Handsome, have publicly stated their opposition to it.” While Guy Handsome may be an authority on matters having to do with acting, there’s no particular reason why anyone should be moved by his political opinions—he is probably no more of an authority on the death penalty than the person writing the paper.

Tip: There are two easy ways to avoid committing appeal to authority: First, make sure that the authorities you cite are experts on the subject you’re discussing. Second, rather than just saying “Dr. Authority believes X, so we should believe it, too,” try to explain the reasoning or evidence that the authority used to arrive at his or her opinion. That way, your readers have more to go on than a person’s reputation. It also helps to choose authorities who are perceived as fairly neutral or reasonable, rather than people who will be perceived as biased."
