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, and 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.

They don't even understand their own pet theory.
The idea of human caused global warming is that use of fossil fuels is increasing the net carbon in the cycle, because carbon that was trapped far below the earth's surface is being released when oil or coal is burned.
Animals and plants, which are all carbon-based life forms, do not cause a net increase in atmospheric carbon since they are already part of the existing carbon cycle. The methane produced by a cow comes from it digesting plant matter. Those same chemical processes would have occurred whether the plants were digested or rotted in the round after the plants died. It is not a net increase in carbon. This whole problem that leftists claim to have with meat and cattle is a concocted issue. What the really want is power and control. ''Climate Change'' is just their latest excuse for putting them in charge.

I think it is more the rediculous hot air statements from the press and climate obsessed doomsdayers if anything that is causing a change! How about the weather just changes because that is what it does as it has from the beginning of time as set forth by our Creator!

The eternal relationship between fear and money. Without it, governments could not exist. When they run out of real bogeymen, they must create new ones. That and the fact that useless scientists and the "schools" that train them need an income.

What is going to be done about all those obese, blue-haired, tatted, nose-pierced, screeching females who flatulate (my verb for flatulence) with every step they take?!

Guess it was a good thing those White settlers killed off so many buffalos 150yrs ago. Can you imagine what global warming would be like today if those animals still numbered in the millions belching and passing gas? The world would be uninhabitable.

If dogs are causing climate change...just wait till they figure out too many people
are doing even more damage to the climate. Remember the classic movie "Soylent Green"?

But the Dems and other Lefties don't seem to worry at all about all the emissions, etc from all the wars being fought around the world, especially their beloved war in Ukraine. Gee, ya think World War 2 put out a lot of greenhouse gasses?

This is the same retardation that got us in panics over acid rain, global warming, global cooling, 2nd and 3rd hand smoke, cow farts, covid, leaving the toilet seat up and blowing mower grass into the road. There is no shortage of citizens anxious to be in a panic and to commit your money and freedom to the furtherance of that panic. Best bet is to ignore it all.

Unfortunately, the consequence stream flows too slowly to carry away such stupidity.

I grew up in the Great Plains (Kansas). We mostly raised beef cattle as grass was about the only thing that grows on that thin soil. It was a constant battle to keep scrub trees from growing and sucking nutrients from the soil.
Also, the paragons of environment, the Indians, burnt the prairie every year to kill the scrub brush and encourage better grass for their ponies.

No pets are not causing any affect on global climate.
And CO2 is a beneficial trace gas which can safely be at 10 times current levels. The only side effect is lush growth of green plants, and likely loss of desert areas. in some places.
How is this 'predicted'? By looking backwards and seeing what happened when CO2 was 4,000 ppm millions of years ago. PROOF that it is not harmful.

Just when you think you have seen the worst of their stupidity, they always find a way to top it. I guess all the worst doomsaying isn't working anymore. The oceans rising, no more snow, monster hurricanes, even that the sheep in the UK now have smaller testicles (no kidding), google 'Warmlist' for dozens of ridiculous things now blamed on AGW.

Funny how they never mention airplane emissions as a problem, their own favored means of gallivanting. Even measured in dog pharts, a single private streamliner ride emits far more than our hounds ever could. And why only domestic animals, like cows and now dogs? Ever see the vast herds of wildebeest, bison, or caribou? How much gas does an elephant produce?

I'd tell them to get a life; but getting a life might increase their carbon buttprint. Oh, agony, agony, agony... what's a man to do?
