UCLA Study: Dogs and Cats Play a Big Part in Gorebal Warming

One of the biggest threats to life on earth:

When it comes to global warming, Fido and Fluffy are part of the problem, a new study by UCLA indicates.

Most cat or dog lovers would say they can’t imagine living in a world without pets, but as the threat of global warming increases, environmentally conscious pet lovers may need to make some tough choices, according to the study.

Pet ownership in the United States creates about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, UCLA researchers found. That’s the equivalent of driving 13.6 million cars for a year. The problem lies with the meat-filled diets of kitties and pooches, according to the study by UCLA geography professor Gregory Okin.

Dogs and cats are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of the impacts of meat production in the United States, said Orkin. Compared to a plant-based diet, meat production “requires more energy, land and water and has greater environmental consequences in terms of erosion, pesticides and waste,” the study found.

And what goes in, must come out. In terms of waste, Okin noted, feeding pets also leads to about 5.1 million tons of feces every year, roughly equivalent to the total trash production of Massachusetts.

I wish these idiots would differentiate between short cycle carbon and long cycle sequestered release carbon. When your dog shits that CO2 was pulled from the atmosphere recently via plant growth.

The issue has always been taking sequestered carbon and adding it back to the atmosphere faster than it gets re-sequestered.

it's amazing that I find a lot of AGW theory to be horse-hockey, and I understand it better than most AGW nuts do.

Weapons grade adorable...

If this level of adorable ever fell into the hands of our enemies ... it would mean the end of our way of life.

I'm quite surprised to see you say that you believe in global warming.

Leave it to a liberal to blame an imaginary crisis on kittens and puppies. And they think they're the smartest people in the world. LOL

Much safer to go after kittens and puppies than Islamo terrorists.

 

[Weatherman2020]

The threat must be addressed.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Unfortunately they are beginning to fight back.

I did my part. I gave my dog to an owner of a Korean all you can eat restaurant.

He said he likes dogs. Funny, he does not seem to have pets anywhere around.

Global warming is a lie!

It never gets warmer on planet earth, only colder.

Perhaps these innocent looking animals are nothing more than alien spies sent to destroy planet earth.

Mass murderers are always described as being so nice and innocent.

I have had my cat for years, and I love her to death. After reading this study I had to drown her in the bath tub.

 

[Votto]

Don't look now Dims, but I sense some collusion going on here.

 

[martybegan]

This cat knows who's responsible for AGW

Well if they are, thank God we have liberals to uncover the threat and are willing to allocate our tax dollars to stop it.

What earth will look like in 50 years.
