Shouldn’t there be some sort of study instead of a few “experts” or professors just coming out and saying that the cause is global warming?

Yeah, those "experts" wouldn't want to attribute lost whales, sensitive to sea water temperature, to global warming before the deniers are satisfied, eh?

Give me a break. Sounds like someone telling you here that we need to save the world by turning our lights off.

If these whales were found dead at the mouth of the Yodo River and the Sakai area then it's probably because the water is so polluted there.

Osaka Bay sounds like a good place for whaling. Maybe the Japanese whaling boats should leave international waters and head there.

Numbers increasing?? Two whales in two years, one last January and one this January does not sound like an epidemic.

With less whaling going on these days, seems likely that increasing whale numbers is the actual cause.

Japan continues whaling its domestic waters.

They could have been sick before.

Yes Wallace, but if you read the article you’ll see that the type mentioned is not that type that Japan still catches.

There is no whaling of sperm whales these days; there was in the past… doesn’t that clarify it for you?

Could you stop referring to everything that isn't Tokyo as "West Japan"?
People have heard of Osaka.

Since July 2019 Japan only hunts whales it's own territorial waters and EEZ. Not in International Waters.

It’s not because of global warming, it’s because of so many countries are testing weapons in the oceans
