Whales and dolphins in American waters are losing food and habitat to climate change, US study says

Whales, dolphins and seals living in U.S. waters face major threats from warming ocean temperatures, rising sea levels and decreasing sea ice volumes associated with climate change, according to a first-of-its-kind assessment.

Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration examined more than 100 stocks of American marine mammal species and found more than 70% of those stocks are vulnerable to threats, such as loss of habitat and food, due to the consequences of warming waters. The impacts also include loss of dissolved oxygen and changes to ocean chemistry.

The scientists found large whales such as humpbacks and North Atlantic right whales were among the most vulnerable to climate change, and that other toothed whales and dolphins were also at high risk.

The study, published last month in the journal PLOS ONE, is evidence that the way the U.S. manages whales and dolphins needs to adapt in the era of climate change, advocates for marine mammals said. …

These scientists are, frankly, whores. They know what their masters want. So they deliver. They manipulate - and then interpret - the data to make it appear that Climate Change is destroying polar bears, and dolphins, and bumble bees.

Whores, all of them.

The usual BS from the climate cultist. Emotions and words based on what the cultist want with absolutely no facts to back anything they say.

Yeah but, just like FJB's Turd-Worlders, the fish know where the money is.

This is hilarious!

I remember growing up and not seeing one whale or dolphin while vacationing on the beach on multiple trips.

Lately, every time I go near the ocean I see dozens of them over a few days.

“Whales and dolphins in American waters are losing food and habitat to climate change, US study says”

What impact has white supremacy, income inequality, systemic racism, and capitalism had on them?

I’m sure that will be in the next Federally funded study.

Sea based wind mills are killing whales.“

Yes they are. Whales have extremely sensitive hearing and these magnificent creatures are being killing by the idiotic underwater generators.

Really.

So they know how much food is available for these creatures in all the oceans around the US?

They got into subs to make a through search and took inventory did they?

More “speculative science” BS.

Climate change causes people to go out fishing, leaving much less for whales and dolphins to eat.

They did a study which found that whales are vulnerable to what climate change might lead to. Never mind that they are way more vulnerable to being killed for food by the Japanese whaling industry.

Yep - wind farms drill 300 feet into the bedrock for each windmill, destroying resources everywhere and killing millions and millions of birds, reptiles and mammals.

Liberals are satanic.

Are the female and baby whales and dolphins hardest hit?

IMHO the AP has they’re collective heads up their asses since 1980.

Reagan made them look like fools a time or two.
