Fido's Carbon Footprint Larger Than an SUV

Is Fido's carbon footprint bigger than an SUV?
Northwest Cable News | Nov 5, 09

A new study from New Zealand claims a dog's carbon footprint leaves a bigger impact on the environment than a gas-guzzling SUV. Do you think Fido is a bigger polluter than your neighbor's Hummer?

*********************************************************************************

Yep, your pet's carbon footprint is destroying the environment and causing Global Warming.

So, when's the carbon tax for Pet's going to be enacted?  Jerk Off

Stop Drinking the Koolaid

That's just a comment. Where's the actual study?

 

Oh, here it is. - http://www.physorg.com/news176582720.html

Apples and oranges here as far as I can see. Now, if they include the land, and resources needed to create these SUV's, not to mention the very same for the fuel that these SUV's use as well as the carbon foorprint of the actual vehicle itself, I will listen harder. This is hack science from a hack journalist.

Problem is there has been no "real science" presented to support this bullshit all along.  Global warming is a hoax to promote the new carbon credit economy IMO.  Notice that A(sshole) Gore and a large brokerage (bailout prick) has actually purchased large shares in the firm slotted to handle the carbon credit exchanges!  Go fucking figure.  As the dollar declines the door is opened for a new form of reserve currency - that I suspect will be the carbon credit notes!

This world is so fucked!

That's what really bothers me. If that is true, it just goes to show that all politicians garner their power for greed and money, nothing else.

THe general populace is soo-oo-ooo ignorant when it comes to their knowledge of how gub'mint actually operates. That is what is leading to the downfall of this once great country of ours. I'm about ready to start investing in gold and silver, as I see no end in sight for the spirally downturn of our national debt and economy.

Re: Fido's Carbon Footprint Larger Than an SUV

I bought gold a few years back with an average purchase of $543 and change per troy oz.

So at today's spot market price of $1175 I have better than doubled my assets! I am holding until I see a sharp drop starting to emerge but I have plenty of room to roll with at this point in time.  I suspect we will see at least close to $1500/oz this coming year.  I bought both US/Canada coins and ingots and can sell them any time at the local coin and preciousness metals dealer.  No real paper trail as to capital gains either!

Right on, Brutha. There is an element of risk due to the fact that they ARE commodities and you know how those can pan out. But, keep a close eye on it as I know you are and dump when warned. You're already way ahead, so nice move!

Here's a woman's take on the problem... doesn't carbon eventually turn into diamonds?  Problem solved...  I also came across a good post today from one of my more favorite farming blogs: http://sugarmtnfarm.com/blog/2009/12/cop15-irony-save-earth-stay-home.html about the greenies over in Hopenchangen right now.

If we could convert political bullshit into gold we would have it made, thenmaybe not - about all we could hope for would be just more Fools Gold from GOVCO.
