AlterNet: Pets 'Public Enemy Number Two' Due to 'Negative Impact' on Climate

Left-wing website AlterNet declared pets “Public Enemy Number Two,” just days after one of its writers shamed moms as “environmental villains” for having children.

AlterNet, which is known for its kooky posts, has stirred liberal guilt and promoted climate alarmism many times. But many animals lovers would be outraged by the article that went after pets because of their “surprising negative impact” on temperatures and for pushing the world toward “climate catastrophe.”

Larry Schwartz, a freelance writer, wrote on AlterNet November 17 that pets are “Public Enemy Number Two” after humans because of their massive “carbon paw prints.”

Sounds like a good case for ridding gaia of anything that spews carbon. I volunteer mr. schwartz to take the plunge since he's so concerned.

What pray tell is going to fertilize their precious vegetables? I have a dog and two cats. I also have 6 acres of deer, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, birds of all kinds, coyotes and although I have yet to see one, mountain lions. Are they next?

What about horses and cattle and donkeys?

Liberals really are insane. Must be all the drugs and std's. I mean who else can stop people from smoking cigarettes in a bar and then turn around and support the legalization of pot?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It’s amazing to me that people don’t clearly see that the Climate Alarmists are not only scam artists and heavy duty socialists, but they are stark raving mad!

Their credo:

“Science means nothing, truth means nothing, common sense is evil, facts are verboten, sanity should be outlawed.”

Further down the article the writer mentions a couple considering having a child. Their main issue on the pros and cons list they made up (WHAT!) was on the con side concerning how much of an ecological impact the child would have. Nutz? Uh, yeah.

Hey Swartz and Tucker: slit your wrists in a forest somewhere so gaia can suck you back into the ground like snots from a runny nose.

Perverts.

Any time I hear one of these morons spewing that we have too many people, I ask them how come they haven't offed themselves yet. I get the bewildered look, then they start to get red in the face, and then I follow up with "Typical liberal, always wanting someone else to do the heavy lifting for them, and not wanting to be subject to the policies they want to implement for others."

Exactly! It’s a twofer, the world’s IQ gets a boost along with a reduction in our “carbon footprint.” Margaret Sanger didn’t go far enough in her analysis.

Simply put, liblogic. Paraphrase; ask not what you can do for others, but what can others do for you so you feel better about yourself and all your “sacrifice”.

I am with you and then some. Mess with my hounds, mess with my family, your carbon foot print will be reduced to decomposition. If it is bad enough, I might go into the hog farming business.

If I were still fertile, I would have 2 more kids and "push the world further toward climate catastrophe."

Actually, what I'm aiming for is 1500 or even 1800 ppm CO2 and +2o Celsius. Much greener planet and my garden would be OK until first week of November.

Another nail in the Enviroweirdo coffin.

The public LOVES their dogs far more than they sympathize with Environuts.
