Gray whales are starving as the Arctic warms, according to a new report from Grist. The warming conditions appear to be cutting off the food supply that the whales depend on, and the result has been a staggering number of deaths over the past decade.
The situation has become so dire that environmental groups are now threatening to sue the Trump administration, arguing that it has ignored the whales' plight. The legal action would aim to force the government to respond to the crisis, though no suit has been filed yet.
Because this article relies on a single source, there are no contrasting accounts to weigh. The report presents the link between Arctic warming and whale starvation as the basis for the planned legal challenge.
