Whales are vital to curb climate change – WEF

What a remarkable piece. I wonder how many of the big boys have read this…

 Whales store huge amounts of CO2

They support the growth of phytoplankton, which stores 40% of all carbon produced

A 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity is equivalent to 2 billion mature trees

Deep dive into our work

If we helped whales return to their pre-whaling numbers of 4- to 5 million (up from 1.3 million today), researchers say they could capture 1.7 billion tonnes of CO2 annually.

That would be about 5% of total CO2 emissions – not a bad amount, more so when you consider that you get an 3 additional million of those magnificent creatures floating around as a bonus.
