Dear Catnabbit,
I’ve heard that Global Warming is a serious problem. How much do we as cats contribute to Global Warming?
Sincerely,

Hi Andromeda,
It’s true that Global Warming is occurring - the ice caps are melting and the oceans are rising. It’s getting a little easier to cozy up in the summers. Since we as cats are “desert creatures” and don’t care too much for water, eventually things are going to get pretty unpleasant. Think of the movie Waterworld. It was so bad of a movie, you don’t want to remember it. None of us do!
Unfortunately, there are two groups of thought as to what we as cats can do about Global Warming. Some think that it is a human-made problem, meaning that machinery like Evil Vacuum Cleaners, Evil Cars, and Evil Veterinarians (they can’t be human, right?) are contributing Carbon Dioxide into the air which makes the Earth warm up a bit.
Others think that Global Warming is a natural occurance that you can’t do anything about. A long time ago there was an ice age, and the Earth has been warming up since then. Before that, everyone was griping about “Global Cooling” or something like that.
Luckily for those who believe that Global Warming is a “made” problem that can be slowed down or stopped, there is a company called Easy Being Green which is helping families everywhere become “carbon neutral.” Each year, the average American cat puts out about 1/3 of a ton of carbon dioxide a year. This happens simply through your natural breathing habits, trips to the evil veterinarian, cat food manufacturing, and even your flatulence (pee-yew!). Easy Being Green can reverse the effects of your Carbon Dioxide Production by planting trees and doing other things to help make the world a better place.
Whatever your view point is, $6 to undo a fart or two seems pretty steep. Is it worth it to you?
