When it comes to arrogance, few things can match the craven lies and payoffs that Climate Collectivists use to fuel their attack on cheap, plentiful petrochemical fuel. But The New American’s Alex Newman reports on a new Climate Cult stunt that just might rank up there with the top tier.
Reporting from Baku, Azerbaijan, the site of this year’s gathering of bureaucrats, liars, special interests, and politicians who annually burn multiple metric tons of fuel to pontificate, eat fine, expensive food, hang out in comfortable hotels, spout more unfounded rhetoric, and even charge their electric limos with Diesel generators, Newman discloses the base foolishness these fans of central planning seem to applaud.
“On the shores of the Caspian Sea lies a giant fake sperm whale reeking with the stench of rotten fish during the United Nations’ COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. Created by Belgian artist and activist Captain Boomer Collective, the display was planted to drum up drama surrounding the UN event, complete with actors posing as scientists pretending to take samples of the creature.”
Yes, a fake whale: metaphor to the fake anthropogenic climate threat.
In the embedded video, Newman explains:
“The CNN-fake-news crowd is saying that this is a climate change exhibition, and that human-induced Climate change might change the migration routes of whales, which might cause them to die…”
And in a chat with one of the people posing as a scientist, Newman heard the man tell him:
“For sure, it has something to do with Climate Change…”
None of which ever has been proven, and is as fake as the mock whale.

On the other hand, Environmental Progress, in association with the Save the Whales Foundation, just released a massive study called “An Investigation of Large Whale Mortality and Offshore Wind Development Activity in the U.S. Since 2015,” and the researchers offer plenty of documentation on the very strong correlation between new wind farms and whale navigation problems and death.
In part, the researchers summarize:
“d) In the period from 2007 to 2023, 60% of total whale mortality along the east coast from Maine to North Carolina occurred after 2015 (n=470 of 788 whales). This represents a 48% increase in whale deaths overall. In several states where OSW (Off Shore Wind) activity was significant, the percent increase in mortality was well over 60% (Tables 2 and 3). The increase in whale deaths and NOAA’s declarations of unusual mortality events correlate directly with the increase in OSW activities within federally leased areas.”
And they also note:
“e) Vessel track data show whale deaths occurring within the same timeframe as the OSW sonar surveys and in proximity to the sonar activity. As the amount of OSW activity increased within an area, so did whale deaths. Shortly after pile driving to install wind turbines was initiated in late spring 2023 for the Vineyard Wind 1 and South Fork Wind facilities, additional whale deaths were observed in southern New England.”
As a person from New England, I can attest to the increase in reports of whale deaths.
And not only are these researchers trying to tell the Climate Cult and their politically-powerful fascist central planners that their claims of power to generate unreliable and expensive wind “power” are destroying REAL whales, reporters such as Michael Shellenberger are working with documentary filmmakers and scientists to sound the same alarm.
But the stunt artists seem oblivious, and also don’t discuss the energy required to make their mock whale and transport it to Baku.
Notes The New American:
“The New American Senior Editor Alex Newman spoke with two of the whale ‘researchers’ behind the stunt, plus Craig Rucker, the president of CFACT.org, whose organization is involved in litigation to save whales from the devastating effects of windmills along the coast. Despite showmanship from climate alarmists, the COP29 summit is underscored by gloom as Donald Trump’s mandate victory appears to indicate a retreat from dumping billions of U.S. taxpayer money into global warming initiatives. One of the ‘scientists’ behind the display said he hoped people would ‘use their brain.’”
The arrogance is obvious. The ignorance is clear. And the assumption of collectivism also is clear. The Climate Cultists want to run your life. In fact, they don’t even think that your life really is your own.
Perhaps Donald Trump will take a different tack. Perhaps he will navigate away from the falsehoods and stunts, away from the fake claims and baseless fear-mongering.
One can hope he will stand up for truth and freedom from the lies and stunts of the cult.
