I have two dogs now. I think I’ll go out and buy another.
My dog weighs 5 pounds. I have to assume that she has the same carbon footprint as a lawn mower. And I’m not giving her up.
Holly Cow! Oh better watch my use of Cow, I might get sued by one. :)
What is happening to our Country?
I didn’t know the planet was alive.
Planet-killers. ;-)
These people need to get a job and find something to do. I just purchased a GSD and I ain’t giving her up. She’s almost as good as a gun, only with a personality.

They’ve got their 15 minutes of fame and by the way it’s not their conclusions that are disturbing - it’s them.
My 120 lb rottweilers both crapped at least 15 pounds in the corn field earlier today....thats gotta be helping the planet....somehow :)
My dogs do more to improve life on this planet than these two fools from New Zealand. Imagine the irony if someones large dog attacks these idots and chews them to shreds. Now that’s recycling!

What is the average cabon footprint of a whining enviro-wacko?
These idiots need to get real.
This just gave me a great idea for a new tagline.
There is this wholly made up number “350”, which I suppose is meant to refer to “350 parts per million” of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Brief aside note: Plants begin to starve, and consume their own tissues, when the concentration of CO2 falls below 200 PPM. Worse, they begin to compete with animal life forms (humans included) for the available oxygen.
But this is a self-correcting situation, because as the plants go the respiratory consumption of oxygen they produce - CO2. Thus restoring the previous balance.
The atmospheric content of CO2 could go to ten times, its present level, to 3,500 to 4,000 PPM, with absolutely NO ill effects on any animal life, but plant life? It would literally EXPLODE with growth, forming new variations of carbohydrates and more importantly, much more oxygen. The heat absorption of CO2 as an atmospheric gas, is much overrated, as it has about the same rate of heat absorption potential as water vapor. Water vapor combines with CO2, to form a weakly ionized acidic compound, carbonic acid (the “fizz” in your Pepsi), and the heat absorbed by the carbon dioxide is readily given up to the water molecule.
The REAL heat pump in the atmosphere is water vapor, which has a heat carrying capability that far exceeds most of the other atmospheric gases, and for that matter, greatly exceeds that of most other elements. Which is why they use water as a coolant in internal combustion engines, and as the medium of exchange in hot-water heating of homes and offices. Water vapor performs exactly the same way in the atmosphere, conducting heat from lower levels up to the tops of clouds at 60,000 feet, where the heat is radiated off into space, and the cooled crystals of vaporous ice descend and melt, reforming into water droplets, and fall to earth as rain. For those who may not follow this line of reasoning, didn’t they teach you ANYTHING in the sixth grade?
Runaway overheating of the atmosphere, and the earth as a whole, is impossible so long as we have our hydrosphere that lies beneath the atmosphere and above the rocky mantle of the planet. And that is not going away anytime soon.
So, if the environmental whack-a-doos don’t want to have pets, there’s nothing stopping them.
The rest of us will own the dog or cat of our choice, and we will continue to pay for their care.
I’d rather put down 2 environmentalist greenies than any dog or cat.
Personally, and just speaking for me, I think all enviro-nutjobs should just kill themselves. This solves problems on many levels.
