great, more whale shit. now the govt will tax us for breathing near the ocean.
Actually this is super cool! Whale poop fertilises phytoplankton which captures carbon. Nature's own carbon capture tech 🌿
sounds like you need to get out more. cities are overrated
Can we learn how to make their poo smell less? Bloody thing floated past our boat last summer. Nearly chundered.
doesn't mean we can't talk about it without calling it a crisis. bet you drive a petrol car tho
imagine funding research on whale crap when we have an actual housing crisis. priorities ffs
nah mate, this is scientific research that could help climate change. get some perspective
Honestly, humans could learn a thing or two about recycling from whales. They eat, they poop, the ocean thrives. We just produce plastic waste.
leave the whales alone man, they been doing their thing for millions of years without our 'studies'
whatever helps us protect these gentle giants. saw one off Kaikōura last winter, breathtaking.
so does my nana's compost heap. want to fund that too?
Bet this study cost a few million. Could've bought a couple of state houses instead.
and my tax dollars paid for it. could've fed a family for a year but nah, whale poop
