And why might #Dolphins and #Orcas be pissed off? Might have something to do with rising ocean temperatures (affecting their food sources) and all the CRAP we've been dumping into the world's oceans!

Signs of the human era, from #nuclear fallout to #microplastics

AFP, 10/07/2023

Paris (AFP) – As scientists make the case that humans have fundamentally transformed the planet enough to warrant our own geological epoch, another question arises: is there anything left untouched by humanity's presence?

"Soaring #greenhouse gases, ubiquitous microplastics, pervasive "forever chemicals", the global upheaval of animals, even old #MobilePhones and chicken bones -- all have been put forward as evidence that the world entered the #Anthropocene, or era of humans, in the mid-20th century.

"Jan Zalasiewicz, a British #geologist who chaired the Anthropocene Working Group for over a decade, paused for a moment when asked if there was anywhere on Earth that lacked signs of human influence.

"'It's hard to think of a more remote place' than the #PineIslandGlacier in #Antarctica, Zalasiewicz told AFP.

"Yet when scientists drilled deep below the glacier's ice a few years ago, they found traces of #plutonium.

"It was lingering fallout from nuclear weapon tests that began in 1945, leaving behind a #radioactive presence unlike anything before.

"Zalasiewicz said these radionuclides represented perhaps 'the sharpest signal' to mark the start of the Anthropocene epoch 70 years ago."

Japanese beach closed following dolphin attack [video]

"Suishohama Beach in #Mihama, #Japan, has closed from July 21 following a series of dolphin attacks on beachgoers earlier in the week. Curious footage from July 17 captured a bottlenose dolphin appearing to playfully nip a lone swimmer. But the clip has taken a sinister turn after four swimmers were injured the day before in dolphin attacks."
