Shocking Rise In Whale, Dolphin, & Porpoise Strandings As Wind Monsters Proliferate Around UK Coast

Over the last decade, as highly subsidized, offshore wind monsters proliferated around the U.K., there has been a disturbing rise in coastline strandings of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Since about 2000, strandings have more than doubled and are now running at over 1,000 animals a year.
The slaughter has been largely ignored by the shilling mainstream media that incessantly spouts the agreed narrative, offshore wind is environmentally friendly and is the key to achieving Net Zero by 2050, which, in fact, is total bullshit, if CO2 emissions are counted from mine to hazardous landfill,
plus the CO2 emissions of extra grid enlargements and reinforcements,
plus the CO2 emissions of counteracting TRADITIONAL fossil power plants to offset the ups and downs, and frequent lack of wind, on a less than minute by minute basis, 24/7/365.
..
.
In fact, wind turbines, whether on or off the shore, are a clear danger to many endangered species. .
.
Concerns are mounting about their widespread and harmful effects on the natural world.
.
Years ago, the great cause in environmentalism was to save the whales, but these concerns seem to have abated, while the slaughter of millions of onshore bats, along with the destruction of many types of large raptors, is simply ignored.
Andrew Montford of Net Zero Watch has updated his graph on the stranding of U.K. cetaceans and compared it to the rise of offshore wind capacity.
.
.
Both totals have soared in recent years.
Is there a causal link?
Perhaps not one that would inconvenience Net Zero fanatics, but Montford says the suggestion of a causal relationship “remains very strong”.
.
The Daily Sceptic has reported in the past about the mounting casualties of whales stranded off the north eastern coast of the United States in the wake of massive offshore windfarm construction.
There have been around 300 fatalities in the last five years, and many suggest the extensive sonar soundings, pile driving and heavy concentrated vessel traffic is causing havoc with aquatic feeding, breeding and migration up and down the coast.
.
The latest U.K. stranding figures have been reported to Ascobans, a UN environmental conservation body for cetaceans in the NE Atlantic.
Commenting on the “shocking” figures, the environmental writer and campaigner Jason Endfield called them “a wake-up call to those planning to further industrialize our seas in the name of renewable energy, and especially offshore wind farms”.
In his view, it made no sense to increase ocean noise to levels that are “literally killing marine mammals”.
.
The great cover-up of this environmental disaster continues with massive industrial parks being erected around the coasts of many countries.
In the U.K., the incoming Labour government is committed to a massive expansion with the Mad Miliband spraying around billions of pounds in additional subsidies to boost an industry that would not exist in a free market.
.
To the fore in blowing smoke over the issue is Greenpeace USA’s senior oceans campaigner Arlo Hemphill who claims there is “no evidence whatsoever” connecting wind turbines to whale deaths.
“It’s just a cynical disinformation campaign,” says another Greenpeace spokesman.
The mainstream media, likes drones, echo this narrative, as shown by recent tweets from Agence France-Presse reporter Manon Jacob.
He dismissed the focus on wind farms as a red herring “when offshore wind remains thus far marginal in the U.S. and scientific evidence of large marine mammal deaths is lacking”.
.
This is the same Jacob who wrote a recent ‘fact check’ of the Daily Sceptic that was so bad and misleading it should feature in future journalism schools as an example of how not to criticize well-sourced material.
.
The investigative science journalist Jo Nova has a different take on the matter:
“Researchers have known since at least 2013 that pile drivers were permanently deafening porpoises, leaving them presumably to die miserable deaths wandering blindly through dark or murky seas.
Where were all the professors of marine science, paid by the public to know these things, and where was the BBC?”
She continued:
.
Fifty years ago, environmentalists would have raised hell about a thousand dead whales and dolphins.
Now they are part of the cover-up.
“They don’t want to draw attention to the blubber on the beach in case people start asking hard questions,” she observed.
.
There are however some signs that the ‘nothing to see here, guv’ wall is starting to crack.
.
A recent essay in Watts Up With That? suggested that an impact statement from the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) had finally acknowledged the harm caused by offshore wind farms.
Examining leases off the New Jersey and New York coast covering over 488,000 acres, BOEM hints that these developments are not entirely benign “despite being repeatedly framed as environmentally friendly solutions to the climate crisis”.
Marine mammals, sea turtles, birds and fish suffer due to noise, habitat displacement and changes in migration patterns, it is said.
Even bats, says WUWT?, which are not typically associated with offshore environments, could be affected.
.
The essay noted that this latest BOEM work may signal a more cautious approach, “perhaps influenced by increasing legal challenges, public backlash, and even emerging scientific research indicating that wind turbines are not as harmless as once believed”, PLUS TRUMP WILL CLEAN HOUSE IN 2025

Trump was a political neophyte stepping into the lion’s den of the Obama-leaning federal bureaucracy
Some of his “best” advisors/aides turned out to be not his soul mates, and/or were two-faced.
When his high-level advisors, with their own agendas, could not control him, as they do Biden/Harris, they undermined him.
Trump is a creative developer/builder, a mover and shaker, as was his father, as are his sons, as are Musk, RFK, jr., Ramaswamy, etc.
The US and World needs such people near the top.
.
A prosecutor is either out to get people to build her/his portfolio of cases for career purposes, or to make deals with lawyers to get people not or lightly convicted, for political purposes.
Harris hitched her body to a 30-y older, married, negro LA mayor to use his political machine to rise in politics in dysfunctional California, which Vermont, etc., are using as a role model.
Harris (dysfunctional “border czar”)/Walz (tampons in boys’ bathrooms) are puppets, as are Biden/Harris, of open-borders fame.
Biden in-the-basement, a 45-y fixture in DC, was finally removed as a broken puppet, because he could not manage a teleprompter, or a press conference, or a debate, already for several years.
The Democrat party elite summarily replaced him with Harris, who has proven herself even less capable than Biden.
.
Someone recently asked me why I like Trump.
My answer was, I do not like a lot of things about Trump and Harris, but the Trump/Vance team is the much better choice for America.
However, this election is not about choosing the most likable, or joyful, or celebrity-loved person.
This election is about voting between two vastly different ideologies.
This election is about voting for the country we want to leave our children and grandchildren.
The Trump/Vance team represents that future and has proven that they can deliver.
Some are former Democrats, who became Republicans. All are patriots to the core.
Trump served his country for 4 years without pay.
.
When someone says: "I cannot believe you are voting for Trump". I simply reply, “I am voting for the Trump/Vance team.”
I am voting for the First Amendment and Freedom of Speech.
I am voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored.
I am voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration.
I am voting for election integrity to include mandatory, unforgeable, voter ID, everyone voting on Election Day (make it a National Holiday with Pay), no machines, only hand counting, as is done in almost all European countries, where final results are known within days.
I am voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.
I am voting for the police to be respected and funded once again.
I am voting for law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small businesses. (Tim Walz)
I am voting for personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the streets (Kamala Harris)
I am voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I am voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end of America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.
I am voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.
I am voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect/uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I am voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and other foreign countries.
I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to the illegals and not providing for the needs of the American citizens and homeless veterans beset by natural disasters (FEMA has no money, because FEMA spent it to fly and coddle illegals from all over to the US).
I am voting for the military & the veterans who fought for this country
I am voting to keep men out of women's sports and tampons out of boy's bathrooms (stolen-valor Walz).
I am voting for peace in the Middle East.
I am voting to fight against human/child trafficking.
I am voting for Freedom of Religion.
I am voting for increased STEM teaching (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), instead of pseudo-scientific indoctrination of our children.
I am voting for the future of my Country.
I am voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms
.
America is the greatest country in the world.
The reason so many want to immigrate here
Why would a cabal of extremist Democrats want to change it, if not for increased federal command/control?
I am voting for the Trump/Vance team.
I am voting for America.
.
It is truly amazing how a small, extremist, socialist/communist, Democrat-party cabal, with a weaponized federal government, Corporate Media, and Academia, etc., were able to subvert/brainwash the US people this much, for decades, in the land with the First Amendment. Whistleblowers Assange, Snowdon, etc., surely suffered because of it.
It shows just how brainwashed most of Americans have been.
Those Americans, be they white, negro, Hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, etc., are finally awakening from their Corporate Media-induced coma.
.
We need the Trump/Vance team to be elected by a huge landslide, too big to rig, to MAGA the US
We need Vance to take over after Trump for 8 years to MAGA the US
The federal government must not be allowed to engage in any activities not specified in the U.S. Constitution.
That means no NPR, no US Education Department, no US Endowment for the Arts, no US Radio Free Europe (all are mostly staffed by Democrats), and many other similar activities.
All those activities, if they are to exist, are within the realm and jurisdiction of the Sovereign States.
The federal government would be much smaller, and much more efficient, and spend much less money, with help of RFK, jr., Elon Musk, Ramaswamy, etc.
.
Example of High-Level Judicial Overreach: Trump appointed 3 conservative judges to the US Supreme Court
These judges are highly qualified scholars of the history of the US Constitution; one of them teaches it in a Law School.
A prior Supreme Court had made an error by ruling, a woman has a legal right to an abortion (Roe vs. Wade).
Based on that ruling more than 30 years ago, various federal laws and rules and regulations were enacted and promulgated.
A national infrastructure of federally-$supported entities, involved with abortion, and other reproductive issues, mostly staffed by Democrats, came into being.
The current Supreme Court determined, nowhere in the US Constitution, and associated documents, etc., is mentioned: 1) abortion and 2) a woman has a legal right to an abortion.
The federal government only has the legal rights ceded to it by the sovereignStates, as reiterated in the US Constitution.
Any legal rights not ceded to the federal government, stay with the States
That means, the people in each State determine the laws, rules and regulations regarding abortion.
The federal government would be involved only if a State violates a civil right, such as discrimination based on race, creed, color, etc., as reiterated in the US Constitution.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
