Why the fuck is anyone using twitter still?

At this point if you're on twitter you support Nazis, plain and simple. The line was drawn and crossed.

We saved em just in time to see them die off again in the great Anthropocene. Drill baby drill, until we can't support life in the Oceans or on the entire planet!

Exactly, only a temporary stay of execution

That chart specifically says "sightings". So does that actually mean there are more whales or does that mean there are more humans than ever and specifically more humans with cameras than ever before?

Not saying it's lying I'm just curious if the wording is being used to be intentionally misleading or if the real data doesn't look so peachy.

More sightings means more whales. It's a concept similar to bird banding

I mean it seems economical, but I don't know if it's particularly scientific. Usually in science they want specific numbers. Values. Things they can measure directly.

What specifically constitutes a single "sighting"? What if a whale surfaces multiple times around the same group. How would they know if that's multiple different whales breaching or just one whale that's breaching multiple times? Either one of those scenarios seems like an opportunity for data to get skewed doesn't it?

I'm not asking because I think I know any better. I am genuinely curious how they quantify a "sighting".
