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.
Divide the world into sectors. You will be forbidden to travel outside your sector. Hint, each sector will be less then 50 miles from border to border. Like the tv series The Wall.
These people need to lead by example.
No more private limousines, jets, yachts, or living in estates.
Pretty much there already. To many naggy things cars do you can’t turn off.
I forgot. Population levels for each sector will be strictly enforced.
You will own nothing and be happy. - WEF......................
“The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time,” the WEF paper states.
How often is the average fire extinguisher or the average emergency medical kit used? Should this really be a criterion to judge the merit of private ownership?
You have to wonder at some point will some person who is losing their farm or livelihood and has nothing else to lose will actually follow up on this idea, throw in George Soros, Bill Gates and maybe Larry Fink and it would send nuclear blast shockwave thru the establishment.
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.
Climate change quotes not often heard in media: Dec 1, 2014
Regarding the Nov. 28 column, “Religion and the coming environmental storms:” Here are a few quotes not often found in mainstream media from some experts on the 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.

DeSantis: “Gender Affirming Care” Is A Euphemism For Castration And Sterilization!”
“Population reduction goals are being met by driving kids insane or into using deadly drugs?”

After this, they will attempt to eliminate private home ownership. They’ll put “affordable housing” (multi-family apartments) right next to your 2 million dollar home, located in your gated community.
We must “save the planet”.
Naturally, this will have no effect on the “elites” (Pelosi, the Bidens, Algore etc.)
From the elite’s perspective, that’s the problem. But only for us proles.
They will still have cars, drivers, and private security. They want the rest of us piled up in dense urban centers, unarmed, and without mobility.
And tell me the day of the Beast is not around the corner.
The communazi bastards at the "WEF" have no business judging the merits of private ownership by ANY criteria. They are worse than merely useless, and would improve the world by suck-starting a revolver.
There are computer chips in cars now - can they disable our cars?
They could price fuel out of our means or make it scarce.
But nothing will happen to them with their private jets and yachts.
Says a group of people who are chauffeured every where
You can have any car or truck that you want.
They will just see to it that you have no fuel for it.
They are going to have to rip my 1966 Land Cruiser from my cold dead fingers
“End of Private Car Ownership.” That means the WEF don’t want you having an EV, either. If they had their way, you’ll get around packed like sardines on your subways and lithium torch-buses. Air travel? If you can afford it, “Your papers, please.”
F the WEF.
