Weird Beachings lately?

Anyone think this is weird or happening more than usual?
I'm no expert and the following news links are not a complete list of reports,
they are just a few I found while searching google news. Most of them are
considerd rare occurences by Scientists.

Some people say seismic testing, and/or sonar has to do with it.
What do you think?

It could also be global warming heating the oceans or acid rains finally getting to these creatures and causing their natural instincts to malfunction. Resulting in beachings like this.
