223 Stranded Whales Rescue Themselves (npr.org)
More than 650 whales beached themselves in New Zealand, and more than 350 of them died. But now an anonymous reader shares NPR's report about a surprising result for the second group of whales.
When volunteer rescuers left the beach for the night Saturday, hundreds of survivors from the second stranding remained ashore. Then something curious happened: When the people returned Sunday morning, almost all the surviving whales were gone. All but 17 had left the beach and returned to the waters of Golden Bay overnight.
"We had 240 whales strand yesterday in the afternoon and we were fearful we were going to end up with 240 dead whales this morning," Herb Christophers, a spokesman for New Zealand's Department of Conservation, told Reuters. "But they self-rescued, in other words the tide came in and they were able to float off and swim out to sea."

Rather than cause problems, as we can see a higher ocean level means more whales can return to the sea. What kind of monsters are you Warming Alarmists that want more whales to die, alone and sandy?

Bitching about misogyny all the way
But I guess that seems completely normal, and would not generate any clicks...
My theory is a whale cult. Their leader said that they will get to heaven which is up there. They beach themselves, and find out "shit, I'm desiccating and can't get off this damn beach and I'm hungry. They said there would be endless all you can eat shrimp in heaven."
It would have made a hell of a good headline for Procter & Gamble though.
