WEF Calls For End to Private Car Ownership

Cutting down on "wasteful" car ownership will help to avert a "climate apocalypse," says the WEF

Washington Moves Forward with Plan to Ban Non-Electric Cars by 2030

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for an end to private car ownership. A recently published paper calls for an end to “wasteful” private vehicle ownership in favor of public transportation and communal cars. “The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time,” the WEF paper states. It then calls on car owners to sell their vehicle because, “Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.”

Ending private car ownership is essential to addressing climate change, the WEF argues. The forum goes on to advocate for the same principles to be applied to city and home designs as well.

“A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition,” the WEF wrote. “This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.”

A number of European nations and U.S. states have already passed legislation that will ban the sale of non-electric cars as soon as 2030. Washington, New York and California have already passed such measures while a growing number of EU member states have done the same.

In Ireland, the government has told citizens that they will be packed into densely populated cities in order to combat climate change. Drivers will be forced off the roads as part of a plan that will “revolutionize” people’s lifestyle and behaviors.

In addition, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has directed global governments to drastically cut oil supply to domestic consumers in order to encourage compliance by “nudging” people out of their private cars.

The IEA 10-point plan to drive “changes in the behavior of consumers” and reduce gas demand at the pump includes reducing speed limits, working from home three days a week, more electric cars, car-free Sundays, more cycle lanes, cheaper public transport and greater use of long-distance trains over planes, Breitbart News reported.

In order to avert a “climate apocalypse”, the government plans to force people “out of private cars because they are the biggest offenders for emissions” with proposals that include banning fossil fuel vehicles from towns and cities nationwide to intentionally cripple ordinary motorists.

It’s time we openly discussed these ultra wealthy and connected people who keep dictating such things. About their reduction in numbers by over 90%. About placing them under constant surveillance, restricting their movement, and about what conditions we will put on the lives of these useless eaters.

They do this to us, so turnabout is fair play. And they all have to return home sometime.

Why can we not discuss their demise and planned extinction? About their bugs for dinner and giant houses and private jets?

Also, consider the Catholic Priesthood. They are supposed t

That setup they keep advocating would be much easier to accomplish if the cities weren’t run by Leftists and other nasty riff-raff.

Nobody in their right mind wants to move into the cities and take public transport nowadays.

And if the average private vehicle is only used 4% of the time, isn’t that a good thing? What if everybody liked driving around all day and really effing up the environment?

Agreed. I’m sure a hemp device would be an environmentally sound means.

If the WEF loses in Ukraine, the ONLY lives they’ll be able to ruin will be those in West. The rest of the world will be safe from them.

The WEF confidently expresses these radical ideas publicly because they assume our elections are or will become meaningless. This is why they are so obsessed with the destruction of DJT. Those they consider real threats are few and far between. If our elections are stolen, we’re finished.

I know it’s been a UN goal for a long time. Just never seen anything specific to Ireland and I follow one Irish guy who writes on the UN/WEF/NWO subject so I would think he would have had something to say.

4% of what time? A day, a week, a month? Fools. Stupid. The USA will never be there. I have a two year old truck with 60K+ miles on it. I only drive about 10% of 24 hours a day on average during any given week.
