A slightly less crazy version in Whales. Whales eat krill, who eat planton, who eat co2. When wales die, they normally sink. Carbon stays at the seabed until it ends up in a volcano. I think the numbers say that restoring wales to pre-whaling would offset greeland and fiji completely.

Murder the whales, save Greenland and Fiji!
