A 79-foot blue whale washed up on Agate Beach in Bolinas on Friday morning. The cause of death remains unknown. Scientists from the Marin Mammal Center and California Academy of Sciences identified the whale as a sub-adult female. The scientists will return Saturday to perform a full necropsy, having taken preliminary skin tissue and blubber samples Friday morning.

Good great white shark bait.
“The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the baleen whales (Mysticeti).[3]
At up to 98 ft[4] in length and with a maximum recorded weight of 191 tons[4] and probably reaching over 200 tons, it is the largest animal known to have ever existed.[5][6]”

That's a lot of trouble to go to when it's obvious that the cause of death will no doubt be attributed to global warming/climate change.

It was a 45 foot gray whale in Oregon.

Would you believe, excessive blubber?
How about clogged arteries?

This one does not smell that bad.
Yet.
Yeah, that tub o’ blubber at Wellsley is washed up alright.
Between the booze and gas that she emits, all they have to do to rid her presence is light a match close by her.
Pinin’ for the fjords - that’s why he was blue.
That reporter has a certain Les Nesman, WKRP in Cincinnati flair to him. Smashed cars and broken windshields a quarter mile away...
When I was a kid,in the early 1970s, we were told that the great blue whale would be extinct by the time we turned 21. Yet another false greenie prediction.

The Farside Comes to Life in Oregon
By Dave Barry (1990)
...So they moved the spectators back up the beach, put a half-ton of dynamite next to the whale and set it off. I am probably not guilty of understatement when I say that what follows, on the videotape, is the most wonderful event in the history of the universe. First you see the whale carcass disappear in a huge blast of smoke and flame. Then you hear the happy spectators shouting “Yayy!” and “Whee!” Then, suddenly, the crowd’s tone changes. You hear a new sound like “splud.” You hear a woman’s voice shouting “Here come pieces of… MY GOD!” Something smears the camera lens....
A significant supreme court justice dies under suspicious circumstances...no investigation, no autopsy...no nothing from the media.
A whale dies and their is a conniption fit about how it died.
Go figure.
The Oregon Highway Division’s 1970 attempt to blow up a beached whale lives on a quarter-century later.
“My insurance company is never going to believe this,” said Springfield, Ore., businessman Walter Umenhofer as he surveyed the crushed remains of his big Buick.
A 3-foot by 5-foot piece of foul-smelling, rotting whale blubber had moments before soared a quarter-mile through the air, arching gracefully over a crowd of spectators perched on the sand dunes overlooking the Pacific Ocean, only to totally crush the top of Umenhofer’s car....
Needless to say, it didn’t go well. The blast pulverized only part of the whale, sending pieces soaring — not toward the ocean, as planned, but toward people watching from the dunes. Luckily, although a car was crushed by a large piece of flying blubber, no onlookers were hurt, unless you count being covered by a rain of smaller particles of the foul-smelling flesh. That’s when most onlookers left and the Highway Division crew buried the balance of the beached whale....

Beautiful plumage...no, wait...
Caused by climate change, big oil or Trump. Bet on it./s
Imagine the local insurance agents writing up claims for the damaged vehicles. Just funny however you look at it.
Plus they tasked the DOT with removing it, there were no enviroweenies around to advocate for the dead whale’s rights...
