The climate cult is coming for man’s best friend.
It was only a matter of time before climate-obsessed scientists would set their sights on the greatest animal on the planet: Dogs. (Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a weekly newsletter about modern masculinity)
In a study from the Pacific Conservation Biology journal, Australian scientists claimed that dogs have “extensive and multifarious” impacts on the environment, including waterway pollution and the disturbance of wildlife. The scientists also took note of dogs’ contribution to carbon emissions, as if no other animal species — or nothing else on Earth, for that matter — releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

“We argue that the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised,” the study’s authors wrote.
The scientists also blamed our beloved dogs for harming other animals, saying they are “implicated in direct killing and disturbance of multiple species” and “even when leashed, can disturb birds and mammals, causing them to leave areas where dogs are exercised.”
Sadly, it should come as no surprise that scientists want to paint dogs as the latest villain ruining the planet. It’s as if the climate cult wants to destroy all the joys of human civilization to make everyone else miserable, even though none of their mandates or prescriptions will make any sort of difference.

Also, I’d be curious to know if these same scientists own dogs themselves. Like so many climate zealots, they lecture the rest of us for engaging in behaviors that allegedly destroy the environment, yet never actually live up to their moralizing
