Daily Wire: Climate change activists are now arguing that simply owning a dog can increase a person’s carbon footprint.
A finding published in PNAS Nexus says that, supposedly, people overestimate the climate benefits of activities like recycling or switching light bulbs. At the same time, they underestimate other beneficial impacts, such as taking fewer flights.
“We think, ‘I have to recycle this and it will help the planet,’” Madalina Vlasceanu, an assistant professor of environmental social sciences at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, told the Greater Good Magazine. “It’s less likely you will hear that if you fly less, that’s the best you can possibly do, lifestyle-wise.”
Another “underestimated” benefit is cutting back on beef intake. According to Earth.org, pets’ meat consumption accounts for 64 million tons of annual carbon dioxide emissions in the United States. That adds up to 25-30% of the environmental impact of meat intake. more
SNIP: I’m pupsitting a friend’s dog right now. I think we’re gonna have burgers today.
They can have my border collie Kirby over my dead body. And it includes my cat as well. Fuck these joyless idiots who ruin everything because of globull warming and etc. Greater Good magazine is an oxymoron which means the opposite of what its title really is. So, what else is new, leftists hate everything and especially anything that brings joy into people’s lives like owning a pet.
Look, I NEED my emotional support pets. All of them. Yes, the goats too. I need them because Trump. But you need to get rid of all of yours, to save our precious Earth!
climate activist really don’t want you to have a life.
His emotional support pets are probably snakes, spiders, scorpions, sheep and goats for sexual purposes only and every kind of unclean animal forbidden by the Mosaic law. Is there anything that the left doesn’t hate?
We are at 4 rescue dogs, 1 rescue cat, 15 chickens and a koi pond. Nothing goes to waste around here between the chickens and the dogs. The hubby has worked in recycling for 30 years and saved a few million tons of trash from landfills. We are about to register about 1100 acres of family land with the Family Forest Carbon Credit and replant with chestnuts so I’d say we offset our footprint enough that they can kiss my family’s collective asses.
Train your dogs to eat climate change activists to save the planet from hot air.
@geoff – HOW DARE YOU MISGENDER ME!!! YOU DIDN’T EVEN ASK MY PRONOUNS OR HOW I IDENTIFYYY!!!
Okay, okay, I took a Xanax. Well three, actually. Whatever, geoff.
🙂
Dogs contribute a lot more to this planet than any ‘climate activist’ ever has/will.
“Climate Activists Really Don’t Want You To Have A Dog”
Y’know, you’d think by now that these assholes would have figured out that most people simply don’t buy into their bullshit and just want to live their lives in peace.
Fascism now has official “schools” at American universities.
This looks like a job for DOGE.
They don’t want YOU to have ANYTHING. BUT, they’ll take everything for themselves. Just look at pelosi’s 400 million dollar wealth from insider trading:

This is classic Soviet society: the top 10% live large on the 90% peasantry.
If they keep it up future historians will include in history books:
…and then one day, for no apparent reason…
Old Hippie stuff…

31 dachshunds here. Yep, 31. All loved and extremely well cared for. Come and take them mother truckers. If you have the nerve.
They CAN REALLY kiss my Lily White. They worried about carbon? They need to take dirt nap. 🙂
You know who else doesn’t want people owning pets? Communist tyrants. Because they only relationship they want you to have is with the fucking state. Thank God for the 2A; so I can just shoot any motherfucker who comes to my door telling me I can’t have pets.
I bet if we “eliminated” two environmental activists for each dog, we could come out net positive. Just a thought.
Check out this chart I’ve taken an occasional look at for a couple of years. It shows 66 million years of warming and cooling.
We’ve been coming out of an icehouse (very cold) period for thousands of years. The hottest was the Iocene period of 50 million years ago. The doomsayers say we’ll get that hot by 2300.
From 1850 to 2000, when the IR was in full stride there was minimal warming, but the doomsayers that the earth will get extremely hot again, very soon. It is a prediction for the future, not based on any data except, they say, the current trend will continue to raise temps. There is no data for something that is supposedly going to happen in the future. They point to a tiny (compared with the last 66 million years) warming trend starting in 1850 and conclude it’s going to get a lot hotter. It’s all BS to me.
All it is this: we’re coming out of a very cold period. Expect the world to get warmer naturally as it’s been doing for 20,000 years.

You know who hates dogs?
I can’t say the name or I’d be a … o phobe.
Unholy alliance between western communists and the moslems intent on world conquest. Moslems, who wipe their asses with their left hand… I assume they wipe that hand on their robes afterward, or maybe on their goat, team up with communists who’ve made up a story about dogs being bad for the climate to rid the world of a joy people have been accustomed to for ten thousand years or more.
Johnny. Come. Lately. Religion and political ideology, may both lie down in the road and await the steamroller of history.
I do not want a climate activist either.
