Editor of scientific journal says fake study linking whale deaths to wind farms is 'deliberate misinformation'​

Key points:​

• The editor of a scientific journal says a study linking wind farms to whale deaths is fake
• The claims were shared by a Facebook group opposing the development of offshore wind farms in the Illawarra region
• Scientists have refuted other claims about wind farms, including that they will significantly impact swell size and coastal winds

Ah Wayne Back to posting more of your usual rubbish posts I did check it out. Lies, distortions and misinformation. Only good for worm food.

But since you love climate fiction so much have you had a chance to check out the "Wind farms kill Whales " story ? Apparently it has drawn thousands of the usual suspects on Farce book and other places that such people frequent.

The federal government's resolve to establish an offshore wind industry is being tested by the emergence of community opposition which the government claims is being influenced by misinformation.

Key points:​

• The editor of a scientific journal says a study linking wind farms to whale deaths is fake
• The claims were shared by a Facebook group opposing the development of offshore wind farms in the Illawarra region

Editor of scientific journal blasts 'imaginary paper' linking offshore wind farms to whale deaths

The editor of a prominent scientific journal has described online claims about a study linking whale deaths to offshore wind farms as a "classic example" of misinformation as concerns grow about fake news distorting the debate.

Strawman argument, and a poor one at that.

Get in the sea, propagandist.

What ? Which part didn't you get Wayne ol boy?

The fact that the You Tube video you posted is just another dribbling, lying, misinformative piece of rubbish or that given you clearly believe such dribble you should get onboard with a similar lying, misinformative piece of rubbish ?

Wayne I have given up wasting time disproving the dribble thrown up by the sources you carefully curate. You don't care. I doubt your fellow supporters on this thread would care either.

I chose to offer you the Whale story because, just like your other post, it is based on proven lies and misinformation.

Main points from Bruce Everatt

1) The "Myth"of Climate Emergency. Folks we have nothing to worry about ! CO2 is great . Causes no problems. Let's go

2) Carbon Dioxide has made Natural Disasters worse. Again ignore all the evidence of fires, floods, storms. We have cherry picked a careful bowl of distortions to persuade you there is no problem.

3) Renewable energy is less expensive than fossil fuels. Yep Myth 3 according Bruce. One of the most critical changes in the past 5-10 years has been the economic reality that renewable energy has indeed become cheaper than fossil fuels. But Bruce and co are having none of that.

4) Myth 4 The global community has united to reduce CO2 emissions. This is where they point out India, China and Asia have increased emissions from 2000-2020. Totally ignores the fact that China has become the Wests major source of many manufactured goods.

5) The world is undergoing a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Says rubbish. "Batteries are not good enough" stood out like the proverbial.

These points are adequately addressed with appropriate citations in the video itself.

I am not saying that these points are not up for debate, however as usual, you have castigated these points as blasphemy on a quasi religious level rather than an intellectual level.

You are no better than the Islamists who want to kill people on the basis of a cartoon.

So what do you take from the above figures Mick ? That Australia doesn't face a threat of "permanent drought" from global heating ? Or that there is no significant global heating in Australia so ... what is to worry about ?

Or are you just recopying the "failed predictions" list from various websites to demonstrate that global warming is just a scare scam and nothing serious has or will happen ?

Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions - Competitive Enterprise Institute

Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today. None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true. What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and...

An ongoing US Department of Energy-backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that the Arctic could lose its summer sea ice cover as early as 2016 - 84 years ahead of conventional model projections.

The project, based out of the US Naval Postgraduate School's Department of Oceanography, uses complex modelling techniques that make its projections more accurate than others.


A paper by principal investigator Professor Wieslaw Maslowski in the Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences sets out some of the findings so far of the research project:

"Given the estimated trend and the volume estimate for October–November of 2007 at less than 9,000 km3, one can project that at this rate it would take only 9 more years or until 2016 ± 3 years to reach a nearly ice-free Arctic Ocean in summer. Regardless of high uncertainty associated with such an estimate, it does provide a lower bound of the time range for projections of seasonal sea ice cover."
The paper is highly critical of global climate models (GCM) and even the majority of regional models, noting that "many Arctic climatic processes that are omitted from, or poorly represented in, most current-generation GCMs" which "do not account for important feedbacks among various system components." There is therefore "a great need for improved understanding and model representation of physical processes and interactions specific to polar regions that currently might not be fully accounted for or are missing in GCMs."

According to the US Department of Energy describing the project's development of the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM):

"Given that the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the globe, understanding the processes and feedbacks of this polar amplification is a top priority. In addition, Arctic glaciers and the Greenland Ice Sheet are expected to change significantly and contribute to sea level rise in the coming decades."
