' /> LONDON: Australian scientists have found that whale faeces could help combat global warming by allowing the Southern Ocean to absorb more carbon dioxide.
Researchers at the Australian Antarctic Division claimed that whale excrement, rich with iron, is a natural ocean fertiliser that can allow the whole eco-system to send more carbon down into deep waters. They believe that a larger population of baleen whales and krill would boost the productivity of the whole Southern Ocean ecosystem and could improve the absorption of carbon dioxide, blamed for global warming. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/...857362.cms
