The amount of fuel in the Tahoe Basin reached critical levels after years of discord among environmentalists and government agencies over how to thin forests and reduce the fire threat. And it has led to predictions of a devastating wildfire because the basin is one of the areas with the most fire starts in the Sierra Nevada. <ref>[http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-clearance26jun26,0,2914697.story?coll=la-home-center Crowd aims fury at regional panel], Land use agency is criticized for failing to allow adequate clearing of combustible materials.

==Animal rights and vegetarians==

Citing a heretofore unknown connection between the enivironment, [[animal rights]], and [[vegetarianism]] movements, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) requested of [[Democratic]] Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives [[Nancy Pelosi]] and Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] special treatment in administrtation of tax laws used to support ecological sustainability.  PETA President Ingrid Newkirk alleges, "[V]egetarians are responsible for far fewer [[greenhouse-gas]] emissions and other kinds of environmental degradation than meat-eaters," and that vegetarians should receive a tax break "just as people who purchase a hybrid vehicle enjoy a tax break."

Asked how would the government certify the special interest tax break would go to vegetarians only, PETA spokesman Matt Prescott said, "I imagine that a system could be adopted whereby taxpayers could show receipts for food purchases and/or sign an affidavit attesting … that they are vegetarian." <ref>[http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/peta-seeks-tax-breaks-for-vegetarians-2007-05-31.html PETA seeks tax breaks for vegetarians], By Ilan Wurman, ''The Hill'', May 31, 2007.</ref>

==Global warming==

==Global warming==

According to a report issued by Pets Across America, an animal shelter for homeless pets, global warming is responsible for an increase in the cat population.  The longer breeding season said to be caused by climate change is believed to have shortened the "lulls" in feline breeding cycles, and an overpopulation of unwanted cats has resulted.  Several shelters are reported to have experienced an increase of more than 30 percent from 2005 to 2006 in the influx of abandoned cats.  The Report concludes with an admonition to spay and neuter your pet, responsible pet ownership, and an invitation to visit your nearest Pets Across America shelter. <ref>[http://petsacrossamerica.org/cat_overpopulation.pdf Global Warming Key Factor in Increase of Cat Population], Pets Accross America Press Release, June 6, 2007.</ref>
