"Rising Whale Deaths in Osaka Bay Spark Concerns Amid Global Warming"

The slow death of a sperm whale trapped in Osaka Bay has raised concerns among experts, who attribute the incident to global warming. The warming planet has altered the temperature differential between the Pacific Ocean and Osaka Bay, leading to an increase in whales being propelled into shallow waters. The maze-like bay, filled with artificial islands and industrial structures, has become a death trap for marine mammals. Efforts are being made to prevent such incidents, including the use of acoustic deterrent devices at entryways to prevent whales from venturing near the coastline.
