    “There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy’s 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you’re not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you’re dead. This is the real life of marine mammals destroyed by the U.S. Navy’s all-out acoustic war on the world’s oceans. The collateral damage of this high intensity military sonar is shocking. But because all these millions of dying whales or dolphins are too often out of human sight, they’re also out of mind” (8)

    Seems most people here missed Oddtrader's post and point above...Here's the blurb again. Read it.

    "The largest whale stranding in New Zealand took place in 1918, when 1,000 whales stranded themselves on Chatham Islands."

    There was no man-made radiation, no man-made climate change and no "naval sonar at 200+db" in 1918. Whale beaching has been going on for millions of years. And it will continue to happen, whether we like it or not. Mankind, stop trying to be all-that on a planet as old as the earth.
