Eat the whales?

I am pretty sure that this is not what PETA and the Humane Society had in mind when they launched their ad campaigns linking meat eating with climate change.

OSLO (Reuters) - Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the climate than farming livestock. "Greenhouse gas emissions caused by one meal of beef are the equivalent of eight meals of whale meat," the study said.

Uhhh, there are some problems with this little study, and with most species of great whales on the edge of extinction, I'm not sure this is really a workable solution. But nice try, guys; appreciate the bloodthirsty spunk.
