A Whale of a Deal…
Carbon emissions call to mind effusive dirty smokestacks spewing harmful pollution that permeate and suffocate the air and ground quality.
Luckily, science is about to put forth another medium that could catapult a radical change and novel innovations in carbon capture.

Whales positively impact the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and water as facilitators of atmospheric carbon curtailment with their bodies capturing carbon from the atmosphere.
An astronomical amount of carbon accumulates within them forgoing damage to the environment for centuries with each great whale retaining thirty-three tons of carbon dioxide compared to a tree which sequesters approximately fifty pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

This is not a criticism regarding trees, which are literally the lungs of our planet, only a comparative analysis.
Individually weighing in at roughly one hundred tons, these hefty creatures are composed mostly of carbon.
And since they can live for over one hundred years, if undisturbed by man, are safe reliable storage receptacles to aid in reducing and reversing climate warming.
Even upon death, whales continue to efficiently store carbon by descending to the seafloor where carbon is naturally transmitted to the ocean depths via decomposition.
This massive decline of atmospheric carbon dioxide is essential for every ecosystem, because the carbon cycle, like all life, is interconnected, interfacing, and flowing.
Devastatingly, commercial whale hunting has severely plummeted these amazing mammals by over eighty percent.
As living creatures created by the One True God, they are sacred as are all the Lord’s manifestations.
Additionally, as Good Stewards, we must alter this decimating path, because their destruction will carve a similar tale for every global biome.
Many animals are endangered and on the brink of extinction. Without a voice, they are relying on you to speak up.
