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.

Yeah. So the elites can ride around in their “company owned” cars to their hearts content and claim they don’t have a “personal” vehicle.

We have insane people trying to run the world.
BTW it is lead by another German megalomaniac named Klaus Schwab.
Right out of a James Bond movie...!

The WEF is a bunch of bored rich people who think they can run the world with guys like this. It is a cult. Right out of a James Bond movie...!

Yes, their chosen elites will own the means of production.

They will, of course, be the "right people".

So let me get this straight. Begin banning the internal combustion engine in 7 1/2 years?

If I’m reading this right and this is truly their plan, J6 is the least of their worries.

“...you don’t know what should be done?”

No, I don’t. We can’t vote out the WEF. We probably wouldn’t be successful at eliminating these individuals on a permanent basis, and even if we were I’m sure others would quickly replace them. People write article after article after article. But there’s no plan.

Do you have any suggestions?

They want you to kill your own pets.

As an alternative to starving.
