As appearing in the New York Sun
Since December, dozens of whales and dolphins have washed up dead along East Coast beaches, especially the New Jersey coast.
Greenpeace launched its “Save the Whales” campaign on April 27, 1975. But in the ensuing years, Greenpeace has gone full Orwell. Greenpeace is no longer interested in saving the whales. It may actually be aiding and abetting the Biden administration and the offshore wind industry in killing whales supposedly to “save the planet.”
Since December, dozens of whales and dolphins have washed up dead along East Coast beaches, especially the New Jersey coast. There are no eyewitnesses to, and no video of, the deaths so no one knows for sure what is killing the animals.
The deaths are coincident, however, with an increase in activity by the offsore wind industry as it surveys locations to erect its turbines. These surveys include seismic testing that involves bouncing sounds off he bottom of the ocean. It is possible that these sounds impair sound-sensitive whales and dolphins in such a way that deaths can result.
