    Global Warming Could Mean No More Pets
    From The National Pet Association BLOG ...

    First it was pet "non-native species", then it was pet pythons & boas, and now it's medium and large sized dogs ... and maybe even more. The first shot has been fired in what will surely be a campaign by those opposed to keeping animals as pets to call for bans on medium and large sized dogs in the name of saving the world from global warming.

    In a report published in a journal call "New Scientist" Robert and Brenda Vale declare that medium and large sized dogs have almost twice the carbon "footprint" as a large SUV. They go on to claim that smaller dogs, cats, parakeets, and even hamsters have a substantially negative influence on global warming.

    "This kind of analysis appeals to David Mackay, a physicist at the University of Cambridge and the UK government's new energy adviser. He believes we should put as much thought into choosing a pet as we do into buying a car."

    A car? Really? Then what .... children maybe? How "green" is a family of five compared to a single physicist living in his parents basement?

    This is yet another example of the same perversion of science used to claim that global warming will allow pet pythons & boas to "invade" 1/3 of the United States. Enough is enough.

    It's important that discussions that attempt to link pets to politically heated topics like global warming are watched closely. It's even more important that pet owners are aware of the moves that are being made quietly within the scientific community that will inevitably provide special interest animal rights groups with the ammunition they need to advocate legislation that hurts pet owners.

    The future is in our hands. Together, we can ensure that our children and generations beyond will all be able to enjoy the same love and connections that we have with our pets. Today, please take the first step towards that future by joining The National Pet Association. The membership is free, and every single member helps us to grow into a force that will be successful protecting pets and pet owners all over the country today and in the future.

    Sincerely,
    Adam Wysocki

    Phrases like "Global Warming" are cliche's used to further hidden monetary agendas. It is a well known fact that the so called experts conspired to intentionally fraud the world, yet "Global Warming" rolls forward with little thought.

    In my opinion, "Global Warming" would complete the big 3 of all time scams...

    The first being religion and its byproducts of control.

    The second being the financial scandals of the current day.

    And the 3rd, the icing on the cake, the attempt to tax us for so called "Global Warming".

    This was being covered on a local sports radio show here, one of the host's said he was going to go buy another dog just in protest of this kind of BS.

    How about 911 and the war on terror, people still think it was Bush's business partner Osama Bin Laden orchestrating everything from a cave. The terrorist are from within our own government and a global network. People are living an illusion thinking they are free, guess again.

    Great thread Adam, this is the scary part about these bills being passed now. We have people sitting on their hands because the present bill doesn't relate to the animal they keep, yet if this bill passes whats next???? Ball Pythons? Ratsnakes? Kingsnakes? Dogs? Cats? You don't have to even be a reptile person to be indirectly affected by this bill, this bill if passed will eventually be the start to many more initiatives to begin taking away the family pet one by one. Keep up the good work Adam.

    Wouldn't it be nice if we can just throw all the politicians out of office and take the District of Columbia and make it part of the United States. That would be getting deeper at the root of the problems we all face!

    Hmmm. I was with your right up until "How about"... :confused:



    As for the OP, one single jet plane trip for Al Gore to give another paid speach to a bunch elitists creates a bigger so called carbon footprint than I create in a year.

    Obama is so concerned with Global Warming, that just a week or so after he flew out to the big Global Warming summit in Indonesia, he just HAD to fly out to Europe to try and get the all important Olympics to his home town of Chicago. Chicago? Really? Not only is a crappy place for the olympics... But you can see that he put GAMES above the entire PLANET (assuming he actually believes in Global Warming...).

    Global warming is big business. And while some big companies stand to lose money, there is so much $$$$$$$ to be gained by jumping on the band wagon. Especially when you consider that the US is more than willing to further our debt to China to fund all the crazy programs people come up with to be 'green'... And soon they want to take OUR money and spread it to the poor countries to help battle global warming... Really?? I can see helping fight genocide. Aids even. How about malaria? Hungry children? Nope, Al Gore wants to make money selling carbon offsets... Sheesh!!

    Research 911 and the Bush Familly. There are plently of documentaries you can watch on Google or YouTube.

    Here are a few. The Bush Family Fortunes, Loose Change Final Cut, 911 Ripple Effect.

    And here is something most people forget, the third tower, Tower 7 going down in NYC.
