Yes, which is why I am moving for the detention of oil-covered, baby otters in large, environmentally safe cells.
Down with those bastards and there secretly destroying the environment ways.

This particular bout of global warming is being caused primarily by human released CO2.
The humane act of cleaning spilled oil off of baby sea otters does not in and of itself result in the release of CO2.
Therefore, no.

Almost none. I am guessing that the solvent they use to clean the otters would be a rather benign solvent. Anything more toxic would harm the otters. That leads me to think that the production of this cleaning substance wouldn't release to much into the atmosphere in the way of greenhouse gasses. Then again I could be wrong and you might have stumbled onto something big....but I doubt it.

None, because cleaning oil off of animals is done by hand, with no coal, oil or natural gas being burned. The extra carbon dioxide that is being added to the air comes from burning coal, oil and natural gas.

how would cleaning them cause global warming?? They use Dawn dishwashing liquid usually and they do not put them back in the ocean with the dishwashing liquid still on them. Is that what you were asking?
