For an allegedly intelligent species, we can be incredibly stupid. Surely we can find some way to cut the noise.

A way of avoiding reality is to ignore it and be busy with other priorities.

The problem is not only military based sonar but also seismic oil exploration surveys and the low frequency audio footprint of large cargo vessels. Describing the issue as one of "stupidity" should more accurately be one of wilful ignorance. Truly disappointing how the quest to maximise human's economic or military advantage trumps the wellbeing of the sea's creatures.
