Less than half were said to be struck by ships. We don't know about the others. We should follow the science and find out.

And these numbers of deaths in such a short time span are not the usual numbers. There is something wrong here and Phil "Follow the science" is very concerned it's going to kill his green energy project. So concerned that he's opted to put his head in the sand and conveniently ignore the problem.

Ahh ok. So you agree that a noticeably larger numbers of whales are suddenly dying? Got it. This makes perfect sense.

Why now? There were whales feeding in the area since last summer. Lots of them! All of a sudden the boats are a problem?

Phil is going to appease the knuckle dragging conservatives and call George Costanza. Folks, i promise we'll get to the bottom of this!

Clown World!

Explain why this is happening now? There were far more whales around the NY Bight all summer long with even higher boat traffic. Why now? People choose to bury their heads in the sand only when it suits their cause.

It should be easy to make that determination then. Halt the whale killing sonar and determine the cause before proceeding. It's hilarious that democrats would be bitching for the same thing if we were drilling for oil. But it's wind so a few whales deaths is worth it. Clown world.

There were many whales in the area through summer because of the amount of food in the NY Bight region. Nothing to do with climate change or over fishing. Those whales should have moved south by now. Why are they getting struck now and not when they were all over the place months ago? I think all people are asking for is to investigate the deaths (yes some were caused by boat strikes). If the ocean was being drilled for oil and these same whale deaths were occurring the Dems would put a stop to it. What a clown world.
