Thanks for highlighting this overlooked source of emissions. It makes me wonder - what behaviours could dog ownership be substituting? With the speculated link between low fertility rates and rising pet ownership, the carbon cost of a pet still seems lower than that of having a child

More people are choosing to raise puppies than babies, but will that make us happier on the whole

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

I look forward to seeing how lawyers adopt this evidence like Client Earth, Lawyers for Climate Justice, and Climate Counsel!
