Eerie wails, explosive trumpets and ghostly moans. The sounds from the underwater recorders had a story to tell, even without a single intelligible word: the whales had stayed put.
The recordings gathered during the 2018-2019 winter in the freezing cold Arctic waters off Canada proved that a population of bowhead whales had skipped their usual migration south.
Scientists believe this behaviour never previously detected could be driven by the effects of climate change, and be a potential harbinger of shifting dynamics across the region s ecosystem.

Bush: Republicans Need to Be More Respectful About the Immigrant
Former President George W. Bush said Sunday during an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Norah ODonnell that lawmakers need to be more respectful to immigrants.
In the interview that aired on CBS Sunday Morning, ODonnell asked, Do you want to be involved in the immigration discussion?
Bush said, Yeah, I do, in a way, in a way. I dont want to be prescriptive. I dont want to, you know, tell Congress how to do this or that. I do want to say to Congress, Please put aside all the harsh rhetoric about immigration. Please put aside trying to score political points on either side. I hope I can help set a tone that is more respectful about the immigrant, which may lead to reform of the system.
