The climate cult has decided to return to attacking pet ownership, this time they’re singling out dogs. Despite being unsuccessful before, they’re trying again. But this time, they have a study to support their claim. No really!

A PNAS Nexus manuscript suggests people overestimate the climate impact of actions like recycling or changing light bulbs while underestimating the benefits of actions like reducing air travel.

But if it isn’t people like assistant professor at Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability Madalina Vlasceanu telling people that they should reduce air travel to lower lowering emissions, it’s outlets like Earth.org reporting that pet-related meat consumption in the U.S. generates tons of CO2 emissions every year in hopes of trying to lay the groundwork for the climate cult’s anti-pet effort.

But, as expected, Greater Good Magazine set aside room in their interview with Dr. Vlasceanu to not only propose ways to lower one’s carbon footprint, such as using public transportation and choosing poultry over beef, they even suggested (you guessed it) avoiding dog ownership altogether.

Climate cultists, like Dr. Vlasceanu, often frame dog ownership as an overlooked environmental issue, even among those sympathetic to the cause, and scold those not fully committed to climate goals for contributing to these alleged problems.

Despite the challenge of persuading people to drastically alter their lifestyles based on fear-driven narratives, climate cultists continue their efforts unabated. Though its highly unlikely they will find a receptive audience … for now.
