Notice the hyperthreatening tone of the headline and article. The Gray Whale Extincton in the Atlantic... for two hundred years....
Crock of BS is exposed when they go on to write, Rarely seen in the Atlantic....
They exist is other areas of the world. Eventually whatever swims will get around the seven seas and explore at some point if they can take the climate. Whales seem to travel thousands of miles.
Maybe the Magnetic North has moved causing migration patterns. Your children will have to use a scale on their compass when out hiking as Magnetic North shifts more degrees. Of course they start to come with an underlay or a second ring to compensate for those added degrees.
Is the earth’s inner core, moltent and sloshing around? Maybe there are enough of the whales that they are finally spreading out of their so called extinction pattern into a wider range of open waters in search of food.
All the compass makers would need to do is add a series of dots on the outer scale to mark off the declination for different latitudes..............
