From the article Paul Chesser cited:
“One hundred and fifty years ago, we were dependent on whale oil.
Entire industries and communities were based on it. Then we made the
transition to rock oil. We survived that, and we will survive the next
transition. But first it has to start in your heart.” [oceans activist David Helvarg]
Except whale oil was replaced because it was expensive and difficult to use, not because anyone felt bad for the whales.
Also, where did they get that temperature chart?
