‘Thrown to the wind’ – are wind farms really killing whales?
I just got horribly downvoted for summarising a YouTube video but here it is again for the people that just want an overview. Tell me, if you watch it, how accurate is it?:
In the YouTube video “‘Thrown to the wind’ – are wind farms really killing whales?”, the speaker examines the claims that wind farms are causing an increase in whale deaths off the eastern coast of America. Despite government statements denying a proven connection between wind farms and whale deaths, some argue that surveys used for wind farm development and pile driving cause excessive noise that harms whales. However, the speaker challenges these claims, pointing out that shipping boats, cruise liners, warships, and seismic surveys during oil exploration produce even louder noises. The video also investigates the correlation between wind farm traffic and whale deaths in the New England area and concludes that there is no proven link between wind farm activity and whale deaths, as whale deaths are rising globally and there is no increase in whale deaths in areas with more wind farms. The speaker also criticizes those opposing renewable energy based on unsubstantiated claims about wind farms harming whales, urging viewers to support a charity called Health in Harmony instead
Big ships are bad for whales, we use more and more big ships… Fucking windfarms man!
Seems pretty spot on to me. You left out the bit about the video being funny. 8 out of 10 possums.
Every time I see a summarising tool, I give it a go.
But your description has intrigued me so I will give it a watch.
25 mins, OK. Here we gooo.
Once they start talking about Health in Harmony at the end, the video is done. It felt like that appeal went for a minute, maybe two.
The summary is quite general and misses the point of the video (the tearing apart of an opposing argument). Like you said, it’s OK though.
I just checked the 5 minute summaries and they are a bit clearer.
