Thoughts on this BS?

[neutrino]

This is like downing a six pack and eating a pound of bacon and a gallon of ice cream every day, then blaming your heart attack on the sugar in your breath mints. See the chart in the first link below for the percentage of greenhouse gases contributed by different sectors of human activity. Next the chart in the second link on the number of (US) households actually keeping fish and extrapolate this to some sort of estimate for a world average-- in a few countries higher, possibly, in most undoubtedly lower than the US. Then, for that small percentage of households, guestimate an average percentage of total household energy use for fish vs. lights, appliances, heat and air conditioning, television (and computer, hair dryers, power tools, charging devices, etc.), charging an electric car if there is one, and whatever else you have...

BS.
Best one can do is ignore it and not increase its spread.

I thought about this after i posted. But oftentimes you ignore one little spark no matter how feeble and the next time you turn around the neighborhoods on fire, legislation is being passed and regulators are knocking on MFKers doors. Plenty here who can attest to that i think.

Best to at least keep everyone aware of the danger that the great dimwitted majority is posing to our community these days at least.

Anybody with more than a few dozen gallons of water...i.e. almost all of us...is obviously an environmental terrorist of the first order and must be stopped!

I was just thinking of thebiggerthebetter and his installation. He is forever pumping water out of the ground and using it for water changes; the sheer volume of water that he singlehandedly uses in this fashion is staggering. Now, the term "use" is perhaps not entirely accurate here; unless we actually subject water to electrolysis to separate the component hydrogen and oxygen atoms, we don't "use it up". We merely re-distribute it from one spot to another.

It could be said that we "use" drinking water, but even then all we are doing is taking water and then adding or removing various contaminants, pollutants and dissolved substances to it or from it. It remains...water. It doesn't really matter if it passes through our aquariums, our lawn sprinkers or our kidneys. It starts as water and ends up as water.

But Viktor...oh, what a dastardly comic-book-villain scheme he is working! He pumps all that water out of the ground in one spot, and eventually allows it to return...in another spot! The evil genius of this simple plan is chilling. He will eventually alter the balance of the planet, turning it from a nice evenly-weighted sphere rolling around the sun in an orderly fashion...to something akin to one of those dog-toy balls, weighted unevenly on one side, which causes them to roll in random, goofy, unpredictable paths. Our snug little planet will begin to move from its orbit in unexpected ways! It may begin to experience orbital decay, and spin closer and closer to the sun until it finally crashes into the solar surface, burning to a cinder...or perhaps it will hurtle out into the cold of interstellar space, eventually to have its oceans and its atmosphere freeze into a solid crust covering its surface.

Either way...you want to talk climate change? That is some serious gol-dang climate change!!! And we can stop it if we act now!

I gotta call the mainstream media...the public has a Right To Know!!!

I despise all news reporters, journalists included. Only exceptions are Howard Stern and friends, Norm Macdonald, Ron Burgundy, Irvin Fletcher, Collin Jost, and Michael Che.

Just stay in your pod and don't complain while the "Guardian" and others instruct you on what is allowed and what is not.
It's best if the peons just do as they are told. The "adults" know how to save the planet and control the weather so that we can all be happy.
Don't believe the nonsense that this is all about control. Again, please just stay in your pod and don't complain.

You will own nothing and be happy.

Hey bub you got a permit for that freedom?

I must be just killing it like mad with my tanks & farm animals .
All the ICE vehicles I own must really make WEF angry they,have to fly private planes to their meetings.

Pretty sure fish keeping will be around a bit longer just not sure how much longer.

 

[Fishyboy🐟🐟🐟]

some people are stupid enough to believe this and actually argue with people who have fish to kill them to save the planet
I know a few people who will say this and tiktokers or whatever will start posting stuff like
Eating my pet goldfish to save the world!
Get rid of your fish you environment terrorist
Fish will kill us all!

its bad enough theyre trying to ban all the cool fish, now were getting blamed for global warming.

Pet problems: tropical fish are terrible for the environment – and dogs are a disaster

An aquarium full of fish could generate as much CO2 as running a motorbike. But that’s nothing compared with our furry friends

amp.theguardian.com

And the study theyre referring to:

The carbon footprint of a pet fish

Tropical fishkeeping could contribute up to 12.4% of the UK average household emissions

There’s a lot of stupid BS, I don’t have any thoughts on it since it’s not worth thinking about
