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."

"You have sеt something in motion
Much greater than you've ever known
Standing there in all your grand naivety
About to reap what you have sown
Time will feed upon your weaknesses
And soon you'll lose the will to care
When you return to the place that you call home
We will be there

On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood will stay
We will not go away

On hands and knees, we crawl
You cannot stop us all
Our blood, our grace
Will never leave this place..."

How Killer Whales Went from Hated, to Adored, to Endangered

The more we’ve learned about orcas, the more we love them. But can killer whales survive the dramatic changes to their world?

Killer Whales (#Orcas), talking amongst themselves: "Humans are not our friends!"

Study: Humans cause more orca deaths than previously understood
By Liam Moriarty, Dec. 29, 2020

Researchers have long known that dwindling #salmon runs, #WaterPollution and #loud underwater boat #noise are major contributors to the reduced number of orcas along the West Coast.

"Now, a ten-year study of killer whale carcasses found washed up on beaches in the eastern Pacific Ocean has found a significant number who died from more direct human causes.

"'This study was really a decade-long look at what do killer whales die from, from California to Alaska all the way out to Hawaii,' said Joe Gaydos, a wildlife veterinarian with UC Davis who participated in the study."

Our fellow Earth citizens are sending us a message. Are we listening?

Killer whales spotted in rare sightings off #NewEngland, #California coasts

"Killer whales, also known as orcas, are more commonly seen in areas surrounding the Arctic ice-edge and the Caribbean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The last sighting of an orca in Massachusetts waters was in May 2022."
