Carbon Pawprint

[jeebus]

Now I really have heard it all, According to a study at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand a medium size dog has twice the carbon footprint as a 4.6 litre Toyota landcruiser. Also two hamsters equal a plasma screen television.

I'm sure as soon as anyone says they're "researching the effects of climate change"....they get all the funding they need.

IIRC that was one of the suggestions in the Great GW Swindle.

[loltolhurst]

id happily pay for this research as its a great retort to the leftie tts who moan at me daring to use a car yet have 5,000 skanky cats in their home

[jeebus]

Im glad it isn't just my piss that's boiling then. I knew this would go down well on here.

So if I kill my neighbours pets, does that mean I'll then be carbon neutral?

[loltolhurst]

top gear dog has had it!

Here's a challenge for any willing scientist.

Tell me what I can do without killing the atmosphere.

[DangerousMike]

err... live in a cave, hunt wild animals, eat nuts and berries.

"Cats are nocturnal, so the single most important thing people can do to reduce predation is to keep cats in at night," says Michael Woods of the Mammal Society in Southampton, UK."


WTF? Why should be supress a perfectly natural instinct/activity to save little mousey?

What next,
Muzzle cats?
Collect cat st and bury it underground with nuclear waste so it doesnt poison the poor little fishies in the river?

Dont these people understand that nature can sort these things out for itself, how did the world survive this long, afterall cats have been stting in rivers for thousands of years!

I have no idea what that word means, but it sounds a little dirty, I will try and make sure I get it into a meeting sometime today...

The average human will breathe out 30 tons of CO2 in their lifetime.

Crepuscular is a term used to describe some animals that are primarily active during twilight, that is at dawn and at dusk.



suppose I'd better credit Wikipedia for that answer...
