Humpback whales, after a remarkable recovery from overhunting, now face a new threat from climate change. A recent study indicates that warming ocean temperatures could displace them from traditional tropical breeding grounds, where calves benefit from warmer waters to grow. This, combined with warming feeding grounds and other human impacts, threatens their future, despite their strong comeback and the significant whale-watching industry they support.
Under a "middle-of-the-road" climate change scenario, over a third of breeding areas in both hemispheres could exceed their historical temperature range by century's end, with even higher figures under continued fossil fuel emissions. This surprising finding underscores the urgent need for emissions reduction to protect these iconic marine mammals.
