Want some good news on climate change? Whales are doing their bit. Scientists at the Australian Antarctic Division in Hobart have figured out that iron rich whale poop helps algae and photoplankton grow, which draws carbon from the atmosphere when it photosynthesises. Krill then feeds on the algae, and the whales eat the krill. It's a beautiful, carbon reducing cycle.
And it supports my hypothesis that you can solve pretty much any problem with whales. Full story here.
