See the Save the Humpback dolphin blog* for recent images of Taichung coal-fired power plant (the biggest CO2-emitting power plant in the world), whose effluent flows into humpback dolphin habitat.
Proponents of more coal-fired power plants on the coast adjacent to the dolphins' habitat argue that, because the dolphins still swim in these waters, additional effluent from more coal-fired power plants will not affect them. In fact, the dolphins are restricted to these waters--they have no where else to go, no matter how much we degrade their home.
