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.
I call for an end to Klaus Schwab’s pulse.
So what's the problem?
Yeah, no. Mobility is freedom: economic, personal, security and health wise.
And then a call to end the personal consumption of meat ... and then a call to end the personal consumption of the air ...
My car is ready to serve my needs or desires for transportation 100% of the time. WEF can ESFOAD.
World Economic Forum. Attendees arrive by private jet. Lecture peasants about private cars.
Looks like IEA is one of those "foreign enemies" some of us swore an oath to defend against.
This guy needs to be eliminated.
LIve like that if you want to. I guarantee, the majority of people prefer private ownership vs trying to justify, explain and negotiate everything you do with a car.
What are we going to do about these people? They are really starting to try and kill us now, globally.
That’s about an hour a day.
I am sure WEF members are going to be squished into public transportation as well.
Pound sand, WEF
Agreed. He’s a real life Bond villain.
You’ll own nothing...and “The State” will own everything.
I think this experiment has been tried before. And it fails, every time.
I don’t recall voting for Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates. I guess having non-elected NGO’s determine public policy - and even what we are allowed to own - is the left’s idea of “democracy.”
You will rent everything from them or die.
I posted this on another thread, but it applies here too. “The Nazis have moved on. They now run the WEF and the world’s economy. The goal is to crash it, in order to rebuild as thier fascist utopia. We keep calling it communist, but the WEF have no interest in owning industry, they just want to control it. That is fascism.”
Our betters will have their own automobiles and jets though. They do all the important work and need to be productive 100% of the time.
