Save the Whales ... From Climate Change!

The climate change hysteria has now moved on to whales. I guess now that we have more polar bears than ever, they have to change the subject.

CLIMATE change could help do to whale populations what commercial whaling has not - wipe out an entire species.

Humpback, southern right and minke whale populations could be damaged by a lack of food caused by a change in sea temperatures, according to researchers from the Federal Environment Department.

Data from the department’s Australian Antarctic Division (AAD), published in the Marine and Freshwater Research journal, claimed that if the availability of krill - the main diet for “baleen” whales which filter food from water - deteriorated due to climate change, other species could be wiped out.

“In an era of climate change, the ecological effects of baleen whales, and the effects of physical changes on these key predators can no longer be ignored,” the researchers said.

“The abundance of their primary prey, krill, can vary dramatically over relatively short periods of time and baleen whales that feed on krill have adapted to this variability.

Could. If. May.

They could be damaged if what they survive on is wiped out. No kidding. Humans would starve if food could not be grown and produced.

Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

I've been on enough whale watch boats and I sure see far more whales in recent years than I ever did.
