A decade is a long time in climate ‘science’, as illustrated by Tony Thomas’ piece (at left) detailing the warmists’ insane call to dispense with dogs and cats that Gaia might be restored to health and green happiness. Back in 2011, it was different: dogs and cats were key to staying warm in a no-carbon household, as a Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government website explained under the headline ‘Top tips for living greener this winter‘: 

…To reduce the energy you use while watching TV, take another tip from grandma and share the warmth. Snuggle up under a rug, snuggle with your family or cuddle your favourite pet. You could avoid the TV and snuggle up in bed with a good book (or with someone who’s read one lately).

It’s a pity the website can now be found only via the Wayback Machine internet archive, as a more easily accessed site would serve as a ready reminder that climateers value consistency even less than they underastand genuine science.
