Environmentalists outraged after ‘green’ wind turbines murder family of whales

[james_1957]

Some environmentalists are saying wind turbines pose a threat to whales after a family of minke whales were found dead in the United Kingdom.

According to reports by the Times (London) and Daily Caller, a young minke whale was found dead in the United Kingdom on May 20. Its mother was found dead on a nearby beach the same day, and a third whale washed ashore on May 21. It’s believed the three whales were part of the same family.

According to marine wildlife experts, the whales were likely disoriented by nearby wind turbines, which can affect the sonar whales use to navigate.

“My personal opinion is that could be a consequence of wind farms and the amount of sand in the water,” said John Cresswell, chairman of the Felixstowe Volunteer Coast Patrol Rescue Service, according to the Times. “If you stop the boat off the coast you can feel the vibrations and hear the noise.”

Uh huh. And fleets of motor boats, ocean liners, naval vessels and submarines are just fine, because the whales have gotten used to their incessant noise.

Can't they render the fat from their bodies and use the oil?

PETA might get upset.

But farms of wind turbines are now being sold as one of the most beautiful and picturesque things you can see, right up there with antique Dutch windmills...

I've seen a billboard on the Interstate about wind turbines as a menace to birds. Turns out oil companies paid for it.

Where are the birds going to earn the scratch?


WHERE THE FUCK IS PETA???

Incessant means without ceasing. All of those that you listed either C sport are not continuously in the same area. Also, dependent on rpm, the frecuency of sound generated varies. In general, low rpm, lower tones, higher rpm, higher pitch.

Wind turbines turn relatively slowly.

Whale sounds are very low frequency.

Why do you hate whales and science?

I've told you again and again to research the topic before you post about it.

Why do you distrust environmentalists and marine wildlife experts?

Sound Torture

Phro is distressed at what environmentalists and marine experts are telling him about the bleaching of coral reefs due to ocean acidification due to half a degree (within the margin of error) of warming, but seems pretty cavalier about what environmentalists and marine experts have to say about the potential harm caused by his prefered slave-wages produced in China solutions.

It was probably wind turbines that took out the dinosaurs.

Including BABY dinosaurs!

If we can't get heartless people like Frodo interested in the death of an entire family of whales, including an adorable baby whale, I don't think there's much hope for saving the planet.

Well what should we do connie?

Well what should we do connie?

We should immediately halt all progress and bring back the dinosaurs! It is, after all, their planet and we stole it from them with our global cooling ice age thing.

Wait, did I screw that up? Aren't we responsible for global warming and not the ice age? Yeah, that's it. Bring it on! Moar global warming to save the Dinosaurs.

No wonder you couldn't understand it.

You suck at this Rob.

He's trying distract from outing himself as fake miles (and by extension Skiddles) in Silvergirl's Laurel thread about the board flooding.

He keeps throwing chaff in the air hoping it will get everyone bored with the manufactured drama.

It has always worked in the past. Slink away from the mistake and start a firestorm of alt accusations.

Notice he uses alts to accuse randoms of being alts keeping his root account from that baggage and counter accusations.

Who, at this point, does he expect people to think is behind Skiddles? the general board is not nearly as busy as it used to be and the list of suspects is vanishingly small. None with Rob's history of dogged vindictiveness.

^^^probably still wounded from when little "Robbie" found out that was also a nickname for Robin.

Well, he's one of the leaders of the fake cancers accusers. Makes me only hope that his cancer isn't discovered til a later stage. Maybe he, Morgana, pookie etal can all hospice together.
