No, Longer Warm Seasons Don’t Harm Pets, Even if Fleas Also Benefit

Yale Climate Connections (YCC) published an article yesterday asserting climate change is bad for our pets because it shortens and weakens winter, which prolongs flea-and-tick season. To the contrary, climate change benefits our pets because it shortens winter and prolongs the time when pets get fresh air and exercise. The article by the climate activist group YCC is typical of climate activists looking to find things people love – like pets, coffee, wine, etc. – and then claiming climate change harms those things, even when climate change clearly provides more benefits than harms.

The YCC article is titled “Fleas and ticks become year-round nuisance for pets.” Google News is also promoting the article, featuring it among its top search results today under “climate change.” The article’s subtitle notes, “Warmer weather is helping fleas to stay active” earlier in the spring and later in the fall. No scientific evidence is cited in the article. Instead, the article quotes a veterinarian warning that a longer warm season means a longer flea-and-tick season.

Hmmm.....my five huskies don't seem to be harmed by California's perpetual summer.   They even still get their winter coats and shed like blue-eyed blizzards in the spring.
