    Forgot to mention:
    A) Orcas live all over the world, including tropics (yes, they prefer colder water but they're clearly adaptable).
    B) Norway is still a whaling nation and it is planning on DREDGING ocean floor for metals.

    There's no doubt that Orcas would absolutely rule the world if they had opposable thumbs. I'm increasingly convinced that humpbacks are the definition of gentle giants.

      They aren’t whales they are the largest of the dolphin, Delphinidae family. Orcinus Orca.
      They were called many different things over the centuries among them whale killers because they hunt whales! Over the years as a lot of languages do so it changed into Killer Whales! Fun Fact Pilot Whales are also part of the dolphin family!

    Sounds to me more of an issue with herring adapting to evade orcas by going north and not an issue with global warming... especially when u don't provide any data about how the temperature has changed and by how much. I understand u have to mention global warming and climate change in order to get funding but it's really getting to the point where every problem looks like a nail and ur solution is a hammer.

    • @noctembra
      @noctembra 8 місяців тому +2

      Around 12:36 he goes into how it really does seem to be a climate change issue- "[herring] are seeking certain temperatures of water". Citing all your sources throughout the Talk wouldn't be the most effective approach, but if that's what you're looking for there is no shortage of research supporting climate change as a serious issue that does affect herring and orca populations. I don't think it's fair to discount the attention and enthusiasm that these researchers have- I don't think no one receives funding like that, but I definitely don't see how this guy is. He seems like he's passionate and cares about the future of the species.

      I watched it again and took what you said under consideration. I did not find any concrete evidence that the purpose of herring moving from mid Atlantic to the waters near land, was to spawn during those "couple of month mid winter each year". The spawning data doesn't match mid winter spawning times so they wouldn't be following temperatures to spawn when they reside in the different fjords across those many years of research. I hope those little guys make it, they are the base of the food chain for many animals. cheers
