Major British Newspaper Promotes Bringing ‘Back Rationing’ to ‘Fix Global Warming’
NewsBusters ^ | 2/22/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

Want to fight global warming? Start rationing food like Britain did in World War 2! At least, that’s the idea that “one of Britain’s oldest and most influential newspapers” is promoting.

British publication The Times ran one of the nuttiest bits of climate change babble in a Feb. 20 story headlined: “How to fix global warming? Bring back rationing, say scientists.” The first sentence of the piece dripped with brain-melting nonsense: “Second World War-style rationing of petrol, household energy and meat could help to fight climate change, British scientists have recommended.” The newspaper cited “researchers” – whom it does not name until the end of the article – from the University of Leeds who published climate propaganda disguised as analysis in the journal Ethics, Policy & Environment. The Times quoted the study, which also suggested giving citizens a “carbon allowance" and creating a “scarcity of fossil fuels.” Apparently the elitist Times is itching for a déjà vu to satisfy the extremism of woke climate idealists. The Times currently has an estimated Monday-Saturday print readership of 843,766.

JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy slammed the British newspaper in comments to MRC Business: “Climate alarm has always been about increasing government control of our lives. Climate is tyranny disguised as necessity.”

Now that everyone sees that covid was a scam, hopefully they can see that global warming is also a scam.

The best way to change the weather is to eat bugs. Everyone knows that.

I was also wondering who was expecting to own multiple backs.

Seems one-to-a-customer is pretty much standard issue.

So far there’s no spine transplants, far as I know.

For our protection, maybe we could all live in domed cities. To prevent overcrowding, everyone could be ritualistically “reincarnated” at the age of 30; we could call it “Carrousel” or something like that...

Next hoax up, please. Aliens or bust. People will fall for it.

Rationing is what global warming was all about, the orchestrated crisis.

Good. Let them try it with today’s spoiled Brits.

The Brits and their children, who lived through 6+ years of rationing during WWII will not put up with this liberal crisis/Gorebull Warming.

That is the benefit of pushing a scam “problem”: since it does not exist, it can never be proven it was “fixed.”

In the British socialistic mentality, rationing only took a hiatus after WW2. Socialist control over society was always the goal; rationing was discovered to be a means to that end during the war. That’s why conservative Winston Churchill had to go right after the war was over.
