There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

Given the current trajectory of whale populations, 'we' probably won't be seeing that. Maybe in many generations of humans.

Well, the population growth probably isn't linear, so maybe?

Warming will kill off most of the systems these animals depend on within 30 years.

And will give way to many which thrive or evolve to thrive in hotter climates?

It's gonna take a minute (on a geological timescale) for the ecosystems to be able to reliably sustain megafauna again.

Given that we support megafauna today, could you explain why? Legitimately asking, since I don't see a reason they couldn't adapt just as well.

		Because evolution is slow and the climate change is going fast.

It’s game over for a very long time
