"Over 100 Beluga whales are trapped in water between ice floes in the Chukotka region of Russia's Far East..."

Since artic ice has been replaced by global warming, it must be global warming which has those poor Balugas trapped, right?

What rarely trapped so many of them previously if global warming wasn't to blame in the past?

I’ve consumed Beluga Whale. The indigenous Inuit people aren’t very fond of the enviromentalist types.

The only things they left out was that the whales were obvoiusly homeless and since it was only Baluga’s then it must be racism. (is there some way that we can also get illegal guns involved with this. No sense in missinga a point in a well developed crisis). Oh yeah. . they were just looking for work that other whales refused to do

That's because there's so many more of them now.

If they thought about that answer the story would’ve never been written.

You idiot! Don’t you know belugas are white and there is no way that anyone can be racist towards whites. Only whites can be racist towards those of color. Get with the program!!!!

I believe they were profiled and stopped just south of Phoenix hidden in the back of a Zima delivery truck and Sheriff Arpaio sent them to their icy, watery prison. Wonder what happened to their pink undies?

I remember when the climate never changed, then Bush stole the election.

“Their habitats are threatened by the oil industry, global warming and hunting”

Global warming is causing the ocean to freeze which is threatening the whales. Yeah, that makes sense.

They’re not “trapped by Global Warming”. They’re trapped by ice.

"The exact recipe for ending Globul warming":
  1. 1. Steal trillions of dollars from you and people like you.
  2. 2. Take away all your freedoms.

Et Voila! No more Globul Baloney.
