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.

Elitists first. Just take the subway with the criminals.
Multiple spellings with the same meaning. Both of ours, plus others, are correct.

The average leftist is doubless a moron. The creatures in charge of global leftism are very clever and very devious. We do well not to underestimate them.

Un vill Klaus Schvaab giff up hiss kar, dieser schmutzlicher trut-hahn (dirty turkey)?
No. A vehicle will come for you if your leftist masters allow it, and take you where you want to go ... eventually ... unless your leftist masters want you to go somewhere else instead.
M Kehoe calls for the end of the WEF.
Fwiw.

The creatures in charge of global leftism are not leftists. That’s just a means to an end for them. If leftism left them with less power, rather than more, they’d drop it like used Kleenex.
The WCP (World Commie Pigs) are feeling their oats. The Turd Wurld Dicktaters want to tell US how to live. Come and try to take my freedom Skippy! Come on!
“The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time”
I spend quite a bit less time than that on the toilet. I suppose they will want to ban those, too.
Yes, everyone must build an outhouse behind their home....................
Never got this far, this fast, here in America. Worrisome...
History tells us that when the little people have had enough, it doesn't end well for the elites.
Any city with over 5 million people should eliminate car use. Can’t figure out why the rats won’t touch that one.
