An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero

NOAA Says Right Whales Are “Desperately Endangered”

October 19, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ Okay “desperately endangered” is not their words, just my interpretation of them.

How To Kill Whales With Offshore Wind

September 28, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

Threat To Endangered Whales Gets LOUDER

July 27, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ The Virginia wind-versus-whales story has taken a turn for the worse. Worse for the severely endangered Right Whales that is. My research has found what may be some really bad news. Meet Tethys. Not the real Tethys, the mythical Greek titaness of the sea, but DOE’s center for reporting research […]

Are The Feds Hiding The Virginia Endangered Whales?

July 23, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ In my last article I raised this question– What is the potential adverse impact of Virginia’s massive offshore wind project on the severely endangered North Atlantic Right Whales?
