  Why is that guy so annoyed, though?

  A person being passionate about something is a good thing!

    Maybe he just knows about the ‘Just so’ fallacy and he’s suspicious of even good-faith science communication being presented as narrative? I know I have that problem sometimes.

  She sounds perfect. I like people with a passion for science.

  Would this mean that the coming Age of Fire will result in smaller whales as global warming screws with the krill spawn rates?

    Mini-whales, with micro-plastic infused baleen and a high tin diet to help alleviate the effects of the hot and irradiated water

      Too bad we already killed off the vaquitas.

  So are blue whales only 100,000 years old?

    Whales are surprisingly new.

      Looked it up, 1.5 million years

      It makes sense when you consider they had to leave the sea only to return to it again later.

  But is there still enough krill for the blue whales?

  Prevent predation? Seems like the orcas didn’t get the memo.

    At least orcas don’t do to whales what they do to sharks - eat their liver and leave them to die in agony.

    Oh they got fat i.e. blubber but the water’s cold and they’re always swimming. Krill aren’t fatty enough that you’d run into high fat/sugar diet problems.

    I don’t think any wild animals other than humans have obesity problems
