We’re emotionally attached to our pets. Which is why activists, whose stock-in-trade is emotional manipulation, like to drag them into the conversation.
Last week, UK actress Emma Thompson added her star power to an event organized by the extremist group, Extinction Rebellion.
Standing outside BBC headquarters, she delivered a mock weather forecast full of doom and gloom.
Bonafide US climate scientist Judith Curry can shout from the rooftops that we don’t really understand the climate and have no reliable way of predicting the future.
She can declare that global warming poses no threat to humanity’s existence. But what would she know?
Let’s pay attention, instead, to the actress who, reading from a script, declares that an imminent climate crisis will compel us to eat our pets. In a video on the Daily Mail website, you can watch Thompson proclaim:
Better wrap up warm, stockpile food and remember there is a surprising amount of protein in the average household pet.
Emma, darling, we’ve been here before. Fifty years ago, when you were just 10 years old, an activist biologist named Paul Ehrlich was also predicting the apocalypse.
Back then the villain wasn’t climate change, but overpopulation. Natural resources were depleted, he said. Civilization was on the verge of collapse, he said. The “time of famines” had arrived.
Ehrlich was so convinced his prognostications were correct, he advocated the forcible sterilization of India’s poor. “Coercion in a good cause,” he called it.
His book, The Population Bomb, appeared in 1968. On page 129 of the paperback edition, his imaginary future (which never actually materialized) was grim:
We are going to face some extremely difficult but unavoidable decisions…Will we be willing to slaughter our dogs and cats in order to divert pet food protein to the starving masses in Asia?
Eat your pets. Slaughter your pets. Disturbing ideas tossed around by disturbingly self-righteous individuals.

No, feed leftists to the pets.
If Emma Thompson is stupid enough to fall for the Just Stinks Rebellion then she don’t deserve to owna pet not even a Canary or a cattapillar in a jar
I thought we were going to run out of oil, Peak Oil and all. didn’t happen.
Acid rain was wiping out the forests. Not so much.
Global Warming. Nope. have to change that to … Climate Change, which is the same as weather.
Oh yea, we will have to believe some entertainer now. This must be real.
None of that really matters to me… I was killed by the ozone hole.
She’s acting, it’s what she does. She can turn the tears on and off, just like that, toy with her audience. She’ll burn tons of kerosene getting to the climate protests because she craves attention. The girl can’t help it.
Given a choice, I’ll go for the dog, on rye, with mustard.
Optimally, if crisis were really in our future, I’d say that eating the leftists could be helpful. I really don’t think their polluted minds will affect the texture and flavor of the meat. I could be wrong, of course.
Yes you are wrong. They are toxic thru and thru ;^D
The climate alarmist will start to eat each other. They will start to accuse others of not being pure enough in thought, and attack those who are on their side but not radical enough.
Get the popcorn and enjoy the show. Inevitable.
I will never be able to watch Nanny McPhee without thinking of those brainless comments. Emma Thompson seems to have no sensibilities. For most dog owners the pet is like a family member and it would give us nightmares to think of eating it…
