Gretassandra aka Tintin Thunberg, huh? Rather than cool(ing), this factoid is heating things up.

Yes, it’s fantasy, and no recipe for conducting life, but the implied self-evidence per the Tintin albums that every kid is entitled to pets that they’re inseparable from is a climate disaster by itself, now that our global population quadrupled in the 20th century alone. Adding insult to injury the dog is called Snowy. You want that dog? Snow will become basically as seldom as it’s to the Sahara, and you won’t see much snow- or glacier-covered mountains left anymore, so your rivers will alternate their irregular seasonal expressions between running dry and flooding the shit out of your chemical and other factories, cities, and chemical waste disposal sites. (Okay, the end of the warm Gulf stream will prolly initially cover Europe in snow in Siberian-style winters.) I know this is even less popular than reducing meat consumption and human reproduction, and it will never happen, as people’s elementary mental health and sanity and sheer capacity of discerning sense in life (at least in their own dearest, most sacrosanct and inviolable experience) essentially hinges on devastation of the earth by pet keeping, but to save the planet we should restrict dog and cat proliferation to one per school, zero per family.

Thanks for listintinning.

Do I get a this award now?
