Eating whale meat is better for the planet than eating beef, pork, or chicken, according to a comparative carbon-emissions calculation by Norwegian lobbying group the High North Alliance. Says the alliance’s Rune Froevik, in what may be a bit of an exaggeration, “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.” Points out Greepeace’s Truls Gulowsen, “The survival of a species is more important than lower greenhouse-gas emissions from eating it.” Meanwhile, Australian activists clashed yet again with Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean.
