Yes, and the biggest investor in the Quit Campaign is claimed to be the tobacco industry. Ask Peter Dutton and he will tell you the fossil fuel industry isn’t a threat to whales as much as wind farms are. He’ll quote you a fake study un peer-reviewed study. That’s Free Speech. It’s protected by law and worthy of front-page Murdoch-supported press and opinion.
The fossil fuel lobby has had a busy year on the eco-camouflage front. Earlier this year, interest started to rumble and rage against the stranding of humpback whales on the east coast of the United States. Suddenly, opponents of wind turbine technology – and renewable technology more broadly – had identified an invaluable, if tenuous nexus: a link between whale mortality and offshore wind farms.
The greatest threat to various whale populations lies in fishing, ship strikes, and oceanic disruptions arising from climate change. As, it would seem, those figures in eco-camouflage such as Dutton and Canavan, who continue to coddle fossil fuel companies intent on seismic blasting and offshore drilling.
