If you liked the coronavirus lockdowns, you’ll love the coming climate lockdowns.
Leftists sure liked the former, noting that animals reclaimed some urban areas and the skies were clearer and bluer. Government pandemic policies forced millions of Americans to work from home, and this could become the permanent norm if special carbon taxes are put in place.
Such taxes will almost certainly be imposed on companies and individuals alike in the near future, though certain companies—and individuals—favored by our elite rulers may be exempted from them.
Drive to work in a car? You are subject to special taxes. Travel by plane? Ditto. Moreover, your children will be impacted by climate lockdowns, too. For example, schools may frequently impose online only school days. In the U.S., California-style rolling blackouts will become the norm across the fruited plain due to failed green energy policies.
With the abolition of “fossil fuels” and nuclear power, consumers will be prevented from purchasing new gasoline-powered cars, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws. Nor will many soon be able to obtain or afford gas stoves, water heaters, and air-conditioners. California will ban the sale of gasoline cars in less than 13 years, because, you know, the internal combustion engine is E-V-I-L. Despite the fact that it has arguably led to more freedom and prosperity than any other invention in the history of the world.
Thanks to technological innovations, deaths from natural disasters have fallen by two-thirds over the past five decades, and fewer people are dying form extreme heat and cold than ever before, yet elites insist that climate change is the “biggest threat modern humans have ever faced.” Arbitrarily—and quickly-- abandoning the fuels, methods, ideologies, and economic systems that brought us such prosperity and safety is insane.
But climate lockdowns are very likely coming...

The COVID lockdowns were likely just a dry run.
Corporate real estate seems likely to take a hit if workers are forbidden to drive to work.
Just a few years away from retirement, I feel safe in saying that I will never go back to work in long pants and shoes ever again...
A dry run for something not yet apparent.
A test to see how many would not be a problem in the future.
How many = how many would be obedient
Anyone who thinks that this can be resolved at the ballot box on the “next election” is delusional and part of the problem……🤔🤨🤦♂️
I have a problem, a big one, understanding how people like liberals can think the way they do & not realize it will lead to destruction of this country. They live here too & if they think it will be a paradise, they are sadly mistaken. They have already taken it to a point where we are halfway there now & it feels nothing like what could be envisioned as a paradise. Of course, there is one hope for things & that is that folks seem to be deserting some of the really offending areas such as California & certain other spots where population seems to be steadily dropping. Why can’t liberals read the handwriting on the wall? Are they really that stupid? California used to be a nice place to live as did certain other places where folks are now deserting.
