The whole dog carbon paw print discussion is silly. Quote:

Why talk about India alone, have a look at the world, the temperatures are falling down from the beginning of 2000, but this is just another natural change. And they say that earth has been going thorugh its own long natural cycles of cold and heat, but again, 100 years is not a cycle time - it may be far too less. What we are witnessing over the decades could be very small abrupt changes, like presence of high freq. noise in a pure sine wave. Munnar, a hill station in Kerala, had sub zero temperatures during the winter season couple of years back. If we look at such microscopic examples, we'll have a lot to argue on.
I agree that dogs in developed countries have a larger Carbon footprint than dogs or pets in our country. But the point is, the whole discussion regarding this is nothning but plain silly. As I said, this kind of research is meant for someone living his happy life in a developed country who has abundunt amount of free time and money. Researching on this, or trying to control the number of pet dogs in developed countires is no way going to change anything, apart from creating many angered dog lovers. Quote:

To manage and control masses, either Fear or Need is used. Countries like India use the "Need" policy and Countries like the US use the "Fear" policy. They are just doing the same for world politics too.
Developed countries with just 15% of world population are responsible for 45% of the emissions and they want India to control emissions? Ha! |
You said it! Why do developing countries like India have to hinder their growth to put some control over the mess that developed countries have done over past many years! India should grow and in the process add its share to the pollution, it's inevitable. Scientific research and means to minimize this pollution should be there, that's all, and that too to keep the developed nations' mouth shut.
