Two years ago, Albertans went on a massive spending spree: kitchen appliances, washing machines, power cords, windows and light bulbs. More than 10 million items were sold at the encouragement of the government.
That’s all great. But the most effective ways to address climate change, you won’t find on any government website.Take, for example, dogs. They’re awful for the planet. Unlike the Vales, the study’s author, Gregory S. Okin, doesn’t advocate for curtailing dog and cat ownership. But, he says, it should be a factor when considering the amount of energy consumed by a population and its carbon footprint.
Authors Seth Wynes and Kimberly A Nicholas But beyond greenhouse gases, dogs and cats have another negative effect on the environment: all that kibble — after it is digested — has to go somewhere. And usually, it goes into a plastic bag inside another plastic bag inside a landfill. According to Okin, the average dogWith 163 million dogs and cats in the U.S., that’s a lot of poop.
I’m going to start my diesel truck right now and let it idle unnecessarily.
National post is not a news outlet, it is a rag and the stories are just made up as they go along.
We must shut CANADA down NOW.
Yeah, 100 companies contribute 71% of global carbon emissions, but families are the problem. Nationoil post at it again.
Or reducing imigration
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in a long time. Let’s all stop having children?Are you going to tell that to those in3rd world countries who have large families? Can we do more in N. America? Yes! But there are worse places than here causing climate change!
I guess we are living in China now.....
Why don't you just suggest Trudeau stop flying private jets?
Thanks for the advice but after reading this garbage article I now plan on having a REAL large family and owning several extra pet dogs. ClimateCultists will never dictate to me how to live my life!
What about the merits of one less trash newspaper?
A Modest Proposal, anyone? Could be, if was satire rather than wokeness.
Screw off. Tell that to the families Trudeau is flooding our country with who have huge families.
I HOPE THAT LIBERALS FOLLOW THIS AND DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN. WE WOULD MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN
That child may solve the problem with a great solutions! Rubbish I say rubbish
So, the solution is to convince us not have children in the first world but simply to move all the people from the third world here? Which will result in the entire world becoming the third world...
Best stop mass immigration then.
Strange, but I considered this column to be the National Post at its very worst. Anti-family climate hysteria is not a good look.
Why are we bringing people to this country, who have basically no limit families!
Let’s just have more wars and kill more people
Basically, as Jason Momoa succinctly put it, we're human viruses This article🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Garbage
This sounds like something China would put out.
The 'you should feel guilty for existing' propoganda is doing wonders for the mental health of our young people.
Climate cult alert
Your parents should have had one less child.
Go to town N.P! Here, I have provided fertility rates by country. Start at the top and work your way down.
One of the absolutely biggest piece of hooey I’ve ever read. Almost insidious.
The sun drives the climate - not 'carbon'
One pet limit...lol. Imagine trying to get that approved in California. My vegan nieces have like 5 cats and two dogs but there is no way they would ever say there’s a problem with their carbon paw print.
The merits of one more child: they may discover the key to nuclear fission and save the whole plant The merits of one less child: you lower carbon footprint a minuscule amount, but not enough to actually have any effect
Pay attention white Westeners. Globalist want you to stop having children while other non western countries multiply like rabbits.
