hypes new
NAS report,
which
singles out man's best friend
as a
climate "enemy"...
Sometimes you can't help but wonder:
how do the progressive scolds who constantly
shame everyone else for routine actions ever get out of bed in
the morning with the burdens they carry?
-
they worry they're using too much water to brush
their teeth
-
they can't take a vacation because the emissions from
the car or plane will cause the demise of us all
-
the CO2
they emit with each breath spells disaster...
They
constantly fret over the
consumption of meat, the use of everyday household appliances that
make our lives better, and any other progress that has brought our
civilization into the 21st Century.
Now the Associated Press (AP) is
highlighting the latest idiocy out of the
National Academy of
Sciences, which has determined that your
pooch
is contributing to the possible death of human society:
The top three individual actions that "help"
the climate, including,
...were also the three
that participants underestimated the most.
Meanwhile, the
lowest-impact actions were changing to more efficient appliances
and swapping out light bulbs, recycling, and using less energy
on washing clothes.
Those were three of the top four
overestimated actions in the report...
No one cares, AP:
Don't you just want to say to folks like this, "Get a life?"
I don't
actually give a flying leap if my dog is environmentally high or low
impact:
dogs are man's best friend and have brought incalculable joy
to our species for
tens of thousands of years.
And no,
I'm not going
to serve them vegetables just to make
John Kerry and
Greta
Thunberg "happy"...!
If I were less polite, I'd tell them exactly where they can stick
this study:
Why dogs have a big climate impact
Dogs are big meat eaters, and meat is a significant contributor
to climate change.
That is because many of the farm animals,
which will become food, release methane, a greenhouse gas that
contributes to climate change (sic)....
Beef is especially impactful, in
part because around the world cattle are often raised on land
that was illegally deforested.
Since trees absorb
carbon
dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas, cutting them to then
raise cattle is a double whammy.

Certainly, it's good practice to look after the
environment and do what we can to help it, but getting rid of our
beloved pets is a total non-starter.
The Shame Industry is still
huge, but more and more people are
tuning them out as,
their
apocalyptic visions keep failing to materialize...
It's stories like these that prove why
the left and the
mainstream
media are in such disfavor right now.
They just keep bringing doom
and gloom, while
Trump and his team just keep bringing
optimism,
hope, and progress to our nation.
My family is
between dogs right now, but when we get another one,
these fools better not try to come for it...
