If you've been looking for a new reason to argue for saving the whales, researchers at the Australian Antarctic Division have come up with it. We've been hearing reports about the worrying effects of ocean acidification, and the even more worrying concepts for how to combat it, including dumping iron into the oceans as fertilizer for marine plant life, which stimulates growth all the way up the food chain. Right now, acidification is intensifying thanks to carbon emissions. But rather than geoengineering solutions to the problem, we could just stop whaling since whales, it turns out, do just that fertilizing for us. "
