The next thing we heard from Trump is that wind turbines in the ocean are killing whales, but he makes no mention of how the noise from oil rigs kills marine life, including whales.
•Seismic blasting
Used to find oil reserves, these blasts can be over 250 decibels, which is louder than an ambulance siren. They can echo for miles and are lethal at close range.
•Drilling
Drilling noise can be heard from a distance of 300 meters and can alter the behavior of marine mammals up to 1.9 kilometers away.
•Sonar
Used to detect oil, sonar can be extremely loud and can travel hundreds of miles through the ocean.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
