Thank Goodness for Whales
Whale poop fights climate change: study
In a heroic calculation, Australian biologists estimated that the estimated 12,000 sperm whales in the Southern Ocean each defecate around 50 tonnes of iron into the sea every year after digesting the fish and squid they hunt.
The iron is a terrific food for phytoplankton -- marine plants that live near the ocean surface and which suck up CO2 from the atmospherethrough photosynthesis.
As a result of faecal fertilisation, the whales remove 400,000 tonnes of carbon each year, twice as much as the 200,000 tonnes of CO2 that they contribute through respiration.
By way of comparison, 200,000 tonnes of CO2 is equal to the emissions of almost 40,000 passenger cars, according to an equation on the website of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

World's Smallest Political Quiz
Take this quiz and post your results.
http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html
Here is mine.
I am a centrist.
I took something similar to this a few years ago. What was interesting to me was that some other people taking the quiz were so surprised by what it said about them. The all came back with responses something like "It says I'm a socialist!"
Test
Then I took it again to see if I could answer the questions the way I thought they had answered them, and I was successful. Then they tried to answer the way they thought I did and had the test coming out as fascist. The point was, Socialists who think they are just Liberal, think that Libertarian Capitalist Centrists are Fascists.
