FOX News claims that 1) 6 whales have been killed by wind farm development in the last month, and 2) offshore wind farms pose a severe threat to aquatic life.

What do you guys make of this?

    Great find on the article! So while the number of dead whales is correct, the link to wind surveying is tenuous., despite the FOX host’s claim that this is “unusual” and “probably related”.

    On the second point, it seems like the answer could be quite nuanced due to the unexplained rise in whales being washed ashore (according to the article), although your comparison to the greater threat of climate change is a fair one, imo.
