Greenpeace - Making Waves: Killing whales to reduce climate change? I don't think so...
However, the article does contain some interesting quotes, including one from Kunio Yonezawa, "a former IWC commissioner and now head of the Japan Overseas Fishing Association, also touts whaling as a green alternative to modern farming":
He claims "'it is a much better way ecologically in terms of climate change instead of (eating) land animals, particularly (when you consider) animal husbandry,'... To produce 1 kg of beef, it takes 18.4 kg of COe greenhouse gas emissions, whereas to produce one kilogram of whale meat it takes 2.9 kg of COe''.
