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.
He has a lot of company.
How do they plan to do this? Will they seize our cars? Will they simply declare that the all-powerful government owns them? Will they do as they usually do, allow us to “own” our cars but make using them so restrictive that we will not really own them? That way we have the illusion of ownership but all we really have are the car payments, the taxes, the maintenance and the cost of gas. The government will control our comings and goings to such a degree that the car will not really be ours.
But we will think it is, and that’s all that matters.
dear high thinkers of the WEF,
G.F.Y.!!!
Communism: The kakocracy owns everything.
The WEF is a < insert answer> organization.

Yep. We have plenty of examples from “do as I say and not as I do DemocRATS”.
SoCal will love this guy. Getting rid of cars also means eliminating roads, mechanics, producers, tax revenue, and the list goes on.
First true test of Worldwide Totalitarian Government.
If this one fails there’ll be more attempts.
The Left will never give up.
Will the Patriotic Right be as determined to keep our constitutionally protected freedom and the Left is to destroy it?
They are just trying to make their beehive more controllable and efficient . . . they are unspeakably evil
California is built on cars...........................
These lowlifes should be hunted down to the ends of the earth and put down easy.
Crappy article. No links to any sources. I’d like to read more about the Ireland thing.
Some of these ‘leaders’ may not even know if they own a car or not.
They snap their fingers and announce that they have to be somewhere and magically a car and driver appears.
They probably think it’s the same for everyone.
Democracy: The KOOKocracy owns everything....................
You are convinced that "they" are trying to kill you, and you don't know what should be done?
There is a lot of goofy people in this world with dumb suggestions.
These loons will not be happy until the new peasant class is burning dung for heat. We need a good old fashion revolt soon.
The WEF is thrashing about in its death throes.
I knew that was the end game all along.
They are really starting to try and kill us now
