Climate cults are coming for human best friends.

It was only a matter of time before climate-obsessed scientists set their sights on the biggest animal on the planet: dogs. (Subscribe to Mr. Right, a weekly newsletter on modern masculinity)

in study From the Pacific Conservation Biology Journal, Australian scientists argued that dogs have “a widespread and diverse” effects on the environment, including waterway pollution and wildlife interference. Scientists also noted their contributions to dog carbon emissions.

Dogs have “a wide range of, multifaceted” environmental impacts, hinder wildlife, contaminate waterways, and contribute to carbon emissions, new research finds. https://t.co/j2jxsybusn

“We argue that the environmental impact of owning dogs is much greater, more insidious and more concerning than commonly recognized,” the study authors write.

Scientists also blamed our beloved dogs for hurting other animals, saying they were “involved in the direct killing and obstruction of multiple species.”

Sadly, it’s no surprise that scientists want to stop dogs as the latest villain who’s ruining the planet. It is as if the climate cult wants to destroy all the joys of human civilization and make everyone else miserable.

I also want to know if these same scientists own the dogs themselves. Like so many climate enthusiasts, they are lectured to the rest of us who are said to be engaged in actions that are allegedly destroying the environment, but are told they will never actually respond morally.
