A new study from NOAA just delivered a chilling warning: as Arctic waters heat up, deadly algae are thriving and poisoning endangered whales.

These majestic whales are now carrying dangerous neurotoxins that ultimately can be harmful not just to whales, but to nearby human populations too. It’s dizzying all the different ways that climate change directly and indirectly impacts endangered species.
This is exactly the kind of science that should be informing climate action. But instead of listening, Donald Trump is trying to shut it down. He’s firing scientists. Slashing oversight. Silencing the very researchers who uncovered this threat.
