Eat whales, save the planet!

ABC News - A Norwegian pro-whaling lobby says a new study shows that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the climate than farming livestock. The survey, focused on whale boats' fuel use, showed that a kilo of whale meat represented just 1.9 kilo of greenhouse gases against 15.8 for beef, 6.4 for pork and 4.6 for chicken. "Basically it turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types of meat," said Rune Froevik of the High North Alliance, which represents the interests of coastal communities in the Arctic. "Greenhouse gas emissions caused by one meal of beef are the equivalent of eight meals of whale meat," the study said.
There you go folks, you can do your bit for the planet too, eat whale. Needless to say, the Green groups are hearing none of it, as usual really, and we thought they were all about the planet. Green house gases and all that, global warming, we're all going to burn, time is running out, but as we always suspected, their priority is hindering humanity, the planet comes after that.
Environmental group Greenpeace dismissed the survey, saying almost every kind of food was more climate-friendly than meat. "The survival of a species is more important than lower greenhouse gas emissions from eating it," said Truls Gulowsen of Greenpeace. "Almost every food is more climate friendly than meat. Most fish and seafood has similarly low emissions."
