Whale carcasses are also known to transport about 190,000 tons of carbon, which is the equivalent of that produced by 80,000 cars per year from the atmosphere to the deep oceans, and the deep oceans are what we call "carbon sinks," because they trap and hold excess carbon from the atmosphere, and therefore help to delay global warming.
Lešina kita transportira otprilike 190.000 tona ugljika, (toliko proizvede 80.000 automobila u godini) od atmosfere do dubokog oceana, a duboke oceane zovemo "ugljični slivnici" jer zadržavaju višak ugljka iz atmosfere, i tako usporavaju globalno zatopljenje.
