“Politicians and nonprofit groups have blamed offshore wind turbines for whale deaths, but the science doesn’t support those claims—at all”
“Conducting necropsies on beached whales to pin down a cause of death is made difficult by the animals’ layer of blubber and by the fact that organs can literally cook inside a stranded whale. But it is starkly clear that human activity—in the form of ships that hit whales or fishing gear that wraps around them—is often to blame.”
It’s hardly surprising that a theory advocated by groups that normally don’t give two shits about killing animals turns out to be false.
You mean the guys saying EVs are dirtier than petrol cars don’t know how to science? That seems unlikely
Yes the things sticking OUT of the water are most definitely killing the whales IN the water.
SERIOUSLY HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE THE PEOPLE MAKING THESE CLAMES?‽!
Their pseudo science blames some kind of infrasound waves from the turbines.
Science and conservatism.
Name a more iconic rivalry.
I thought it had been pretty well established that naval/marine sonar is a major contributor?
