Stranding, hunting and wind farms

2024, June 14. Bangladesh, Kuakata Beach. A 10-foot long bottlenose dolphin was found washed up in Patuakhali. Members of the Dolphin Conservation Committee and forest department are investigating.

2024, June 14. Iceland. 128 Fin whales approved for slaughter in Iceland. This quota will never be filled, nowhere near it if any at all. The decline in consumption of whale products worldwide is now almost nil.

2024, June 14. Australia, Illawarra. Wind farm gets the green light; however, it is pushed offshore. An extra 10 km further out means increased fuel used by support teams to build and maintain assets. This is not good for the environment. There is no impact on whales by windfarms.

Wind farms do not kill whales

Look above your heads and use common sense. The history of whale strandings is written in the history of marine science.

Whales Are Dying And The Fossil Fuel Industry Is Lying

Misinformation will drive more whales to the shore. The link below is a story from Ben Jealous that shows why common sense is being washed away in the USA, Australia and other countries replaced by hysteria when wind farms are concerned. The biggest loser in the argument will be the whales.

USA whale strandings are not caused by wind farms. Remember we have oil rigs in oceans...and they do not cause whale strandings.

Assateague Island in the USA has seen its second whale stranding in three weeks. Wind farms are being blamed for this. This is not true. The top image is on the 17th of January and the bottom is the next day. These are two of many meteors that venture into Earth's atmosphere every day. I chose these two events to show that if these meteors are the ones witnessed there are plenty more out at sea and also there are numerous ones seen inland.  A necropsy is pending on the individuals. If a whale in any way is weak, to begin with, a meteoroid can be the nail in the coffin. Humpbacks are not what I regard as "easy" stranding individuals, the whales must be stressed to begin with. My view is that harassment by external fisheries north of the USA is to blame for this. Pollution and ship strikes are other causes but are seen in evidence. If this evidence is absent the uptake in strandings can only be caused by individuals under extreme emotional and physical stress. Wind farms shouldn't be regarded as an issue at all. This is a diversion from the real problem at hand.

Whales swim around oil rigs. That is a fact. Oil rigs have moving parts that go around and around. They don't cause any problems as long as they don't blow up and pollute the environment!

Timeline Update - Included Events

Time Line Update: I've placed in the Dec 2021 and March 30 2022 Airburst events to bookmark how volatile the atmosphere was in this period of ocean. The January Airburst was the 43rd largest recorded by NASA.

2021, December 10. AIRBURST. Time 01:19, (-47.5 S, 172.6 ) Blast force 160,000 kg of TNT. 230Km S.W of Dunedin South Island.

2022, January 11. Southern Ocean. AIRBURST. Time 03:33. Lat 58.4, Long 160.2, e=126.4, -e=2.9. Equivalent to 2,900,000 tons of TNT.

2022, February 13-14. Chatham Islands. 6 Black Dolphins euthanised. They were part of a larger pod of 70 individuals. Thankfully, the majority returned to sea. Note: A good example of injured animals dying quickly breaking the link to the survivors from fighting to restrand because the others are calling them in.

2022, March, 17. New Zealand, South Island, Golden Bay. 31 Black Dolphins. Beached across three kilometres of Farewell Spit on the South Island. Note: This stranding shows a good example of an Airburst concussion-type event. When whales stretch out along a stranding location it is nearly always from an airburst or impact.

2022, March 30. East of New Zealand. AIRBURST. Time 18:19, (-45.9 S, -171.4 W), blast force 73,000 kg of TNT.

Whale Strandings and the Dangerous Game of Misinformation


The organizations and social groups spreading misinformation about why whales strand are causing more harm than good. In your endeavour to do what you think is right, you are increasing the likelihood of commercial whaling resuming. Why? Because the commercial industries that want to proceed with the slaughter take your views to their governments and say, "This is rubbish, and we have evidence that it is." Therefore, they will get the green light to move forward with what they want to do. You are playing right into their hands, and I agree with them; you are peddling rubbish.

I have gone through the evidence, if you could call it that, with a fine-toothed comb. Windfarms, mining exploration, submarines, weather, and even stuff out far into fantasy like water vortexes and submarine mud volcanos. Nothing is there! Whale stranding were happening just as much before wind farms came on the scene. There is no evidence. It's rubbish! Meteor shower activity fits in perfectly for panic strandings and dispersed strandings are caused by impacts. It was in front of our eyes all along.

Until you realize that this is a natural occurrence and that the threat to whales is greater than you realize, you are doing a great disservice to the whales. The threat of meteor showers, bolides, and impacts from meteoroids is real, and in the future years, it will be absolutely devastating to their populations. Whale numbers are nowhere close to being able to withstand this kind of natural culling. You should be advocating for this as your primary purpose, not the misinformation you are currently providing.

I presume there are many factors at play here; however, two very clear ones stand out. First, many are simply ignorant of the problem, wanting to do something, and placing their trust in something they shouldn't. Second, these so-called "groups" are spreading misinformation with the primary goal of allowing the commercial whaling industry to continue. Essentially, these groups have been infiltrated by the very people you are fighting against. The best way to win a war is to be closest to the fight.

As I mentioned, whale numbers have not returned to pre-whaling day populations. I have calculated that at the height of bolide season, a season that could last for 60 years or more, more than 10,000 toothed whales could be washed ashore annually. This is not pseudoscience; it is a fact, a story that has played out for millions of years. It is a cycle of regeneration and death. We will need every whale we can get, so please stop playing into their hands. Iceland wants to resume whaling, Japan will exploit the Southern Ocean if allowed, and many other countries will want to join in.

They cannot be allowed to get away with this.
