Do you really believe flea farts can change the temperature of the dog?
A Satirical dissertation on Global Warming.

Two Midriff fleas with Caninical environment concerns, were discussing the topic of air quality.

“I am concerned that our production of biological gasses are endangering the air quality around our Dog, If we don’t bring down our flatulent production, the health of our Dog will become critical!” said the first flea.

“Yes,” agreed the other flea, “but how are we going to convince the colonies at the collar to spend the huge sums needed to design a plan for reducing these emissions?”

“I have it!” said the first flea; “Let's produce a movie showing a chart where I dramatically climb this hair tree to reach the level of projected temperature increase in the next 10 years, that should scare everyone!”

“Sure," countered the second flea; "but how are you going to make them believe these ridiculous projections have anything to do with our production of gasses, I mean this dog is walking the streets of Chicago for crying out loud, not to mention the Dog itself produces in one eruption more gasses than all the farts of all the fleas that ever lived… combined! Even an idiot flea knows that flea farts cannot change the temperature of the Dog!”

“Hmmm, good point...” said the first flea while pondering,
“I got it!" he exclaimed in triumph; "You know how our Dog has been shedding the past few weeks? Well, that is proof that our emissions have been raising the temperature of the Dog!”... “Besides, if you make a movie with great emotional music, fleas will believe anything!”

“That’s good!" said the second; "You know, you should have run for president or something!”
