Speaker 1 (00:00):
Which one of your actions contributes most to climate change?
National Academy of Sciences to the rescue. They say that
it might be your dog. Oh, yes, your dog is
the most insidious threat to climate that you may be
responsible for. And I've heard I think maybe I've heard
(00:22):
it all. Now we're joined for a few minutes by
Sterling Burnett, director of the Robinson Center on Climate and
Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute. Sterling, good morning, morning.
Does this take the cake or not?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well? I think the song is going to have to
be changed. Who put the dog down? Because the NAS
has just gone off the reservation here. They did a
little study where they surveyed people concerning what their thoughts
on the actions that you take to prevent climate change
(00:57):
or to less than the climate change, and then they
determined that people don't understand how to fight climate change.
Now we can debate the extent to climate change is
a disaster, but they said, you know, people were saying, oh,
we got to recycle. Oh you know, we need electric appliances,
and the NA said, oh, that doesn't do much for climate.
(01:20):
Your real problem is, among the real problems, was you
own a dog. And the reason is your dog eats meat,
particularly beef, and beef produces you know, cows produce methane.
Methane are serious greenhouse gas, so we got to do
something about that. Now, this is the National Academy of Sciences.
(01:41):
You'd think they do a modicum of research as opposed
to assuming that because the thief is involved, it's contributing
climate change. The EPA, who climate alarmist, regularly cite I
mean all the time they're saying, oh, the EPA says this,
EPA says that, Well, the EPA says, cows all agriculture
(02:02):
combined three point nine percent of greenhouse casts emissions. Cows
about two percent of greenhouse cast emissions, this study says.
This study says, well, and and nine percent of those
emissions are from you know, go to dogs eating beef. Well,
nine of two percent is point zero zero one eight
(02:24):
percent of the emissions in the United States are from dogs,
if you believe that. So it's it's not measurable.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So what do they want us to do? Kill our dogs?
And then I got to kill all the cows, I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, the preferences to I think for some of these
people is to kill a lot of humans because you
know they've said in the past, well, having a child
is bad for the climate. You know that they've said
the ideal human population on Earth is two billion people
or two hundred million people. Well, how do we get there?
There's a reason they looked longingly at China's population control
(03:00):
policies and say, oh, China gets things done. In the end,
your dog is not killing the planet. And the funny
thing is, I should say, it's not funny. It's not
funny at all. So they are driving people insane with
climate fear. Every day, new stories, climate disasters, humans are
killing the earth, and youth especially have climate anxiety. You know,
(03:24):
they've got a new term for it in psychology circles.
It's climate and study. Now, mind you, it's not the
climate change itself. Because when a kid looks outside and
see the same day, didn't think, oh my god, the
world's coming to an end, or he sees a snowstorm,
he doesn't think, oh my god, humans have caused climate change.
He sees a snowstorm. But they're telling them it's the
news story saying this is bad for you, you have no future.
(03:46):
That's giving them anxiety. Well guess what research study after
research study after research study shows is owning a pet
is good for stress. It reduces anxiety. So the very
thing that can actually reduce your climate anxiety is what
they want you to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, I wonder. I wonder, though, Sterling, if it might
be if the jig might be about up. I mean,
they've moved the gold posts so many times. I'm old
enough to remember we're headed for a crisis with the
New Ice Age, and then and then it warmed years
later in the global global warming, and then the term
became climate change. And the dates of the dates of
(04:25):
the Acopola apocalypse have always changed. We should be New
York should be underwater right now, according to al.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Gore, parts of New York should be. There should be
no polar bears. We should be able to sail across
the Arctic from from Iceland all the way to to
Russia without problem, no ice there. There's all sorts of
things they predict that's the problem. And and honestly, I
can't explain it. It's not just climate change. It's one
(04:54):
environmental scare story after another. Before climate change, it was
starvation and population. It was we're going to run out
of oil, it was you know, you pick, you pick
your apocalypse, and they've been wrong. Not one prediction, not
a single prediction, has come true, and yet people keep
(05:16):
taking them seriously. I don't know what it'll take. We
all were raised with fairy tales of Chicken Little. Well,
the people in Chicken Little caught on. They somehow the
media here, the mainstream media, has not caught on, or
they are with the man behind the curtains saying don't
look behind the curtain.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yes, And you made the point about about kids, and
that's I think important because if they're getting indoctrinated into
this view by whatever their parents watch, whatever they're hearing,
and when they go to school for seven or eight
hours a day, there's a lot of little kids. There's
a lot of little kids that are going to perpetuate this. Sterling,
I got run here. Thanks for the time very much
(05:58):
this morning. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Appreciate it.
