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.
they promise the jetsons and deliver the flintstones
now you know why they have been building all of those bike lanes
The very ones.
also the elite will be able to buy their way out
just pay the carbon offset fee and you can drive your escalade all you want
just dont hit the serfs on their bicycles
There is no immediate smackdown of this joker, from anywhere, save for FreeRepublic.
Freedom is what built the USA into the great country it is. There is no better example of freedom as embodied by owning a car, to go where you want to go in this country.
The WEF is trying to establish how far they can go, before they are told to STFU. It's like those Velociraptors in Jurassic Park, constantly testing the fences surrounding them.
Remember 1776?
excellent point!
even the chinese communists are practicing fascism
Or it will be like Cuba. You can keep your car but you can’t buy a new one and to keep it running you’ll have to make your own parts for it.
Some people are disappointed to see the size of it, fired a projectile about the size of a golf ball. To me, that just shows the greatness of the people of Gonzalez. IIRC, 13 men from Gonzales, including CPT Dickinson, perished at the Alamo.
I've been a naturalized Texan since 7/8/1976, when I went on active duty at Fort Bliss. You can't understand the greatness of Texas without knowing its history. BTW, I learned a lot about Texas history from reading the novel "Texas" by James Michener.
I was going to ask how frequently the average Leftist brain gets used, but they already ceded their private ownership in that case.
I’ve said it a number of times here... public transportation is their end game, not EV’s. Government control is what they want, not independence of a car or home owner.
When they’ve killed 90% of the rest of us off, the elites will have their choice of vehicles. Perhaps we should be removing THEM, in preemptive self-defense.
At some point, at some time, there will be no choice but to storm the Bastille.
All Americans should be banned from meeting with any globalist organization especially organizations that begin with “World”. And then the US must discourage anyone else from attending any “globalist” functions.
These organizations are against the common man and enrich and empower only those who attend.
The Reality of Climate change quotes not often heard in media: Dec 1, 2014
Here are a few quotes not often found in mainstream media from some “experts” on their global warming agenda.
— “The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” — Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.
— “We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” – Prof. Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports.
— “We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” – Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation.
— “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony. … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” – Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment
— “The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models.” – Professor Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.
— “The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.” – Dr David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University.
— “It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.” – Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace.

World Economic Forum/WEF: Attendees arrive by private jet and met by limos. They will “Lecture us/the peasants” about owning our evil private cars/trucks & leave by limo and jets.
For many if not most of us, our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles taught us this reality:
Mobility is freedom: economic, personal, security and health wise. Don’t give up your vehicles.
DeSantis: “Gender Affirming Care” Is A Euphemism For Castration And Sterilization!”
So, “Are WEF’s Population reduction goals being met by driving the unaborted kids insane & then into using deadly drugs?”
I predicted this years ago as autonomous vehicles were getting their start.
Once vehicles have reach full autonomy, driving will be outlawed as will the ownership of a vehicle.
Everything will operate on a subscription basis. A vehicle will come for you when you need it.
then we'd be fools to give up our arms and our vehicles and our homes wouldn't we? BTW private security + limousine + EFP = smoking wreckage + body parts
Sounds like fake news to me.
yep just like the soviet union
your papers showed your travel limits
Remember, when forced to rebellion, there is NO bag limit on elites. Take out THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS first.
That's tagline material!
