How Far Will The Climate Cult Go?
Issues & Insights ^ | 15 Dec, 2023 | I & I editorial board

Posted on 12/15/2023 5:50:59 AM PST by MtnClimber

The answer to the question in our headline is: All the way to full tyranny. Don’t think so? Take a look at where the warming alarmists have already gone.

Carbon passports are catching among the climate clergy. “Personal carbon allowances could help curb carbon emissions and lower travel’s overall footprint. These allowances will manifest as passports that force people to ration their carbon in line with the global carbon budget,” says a report from a ​​small group adventure travel company. “By 2040, we can expect to see limitations imposed on the amount of travel that is permitted each year.” CNN reports that “several laws and restrictions have been put in place over the past year that suggest our travel habits may already be on the verge of change.” In Great Britain, “property owners who fail to comply with new energy rules could face jail time as the government pushes ahead with net zero measures,” according to media reports. Ann Carlson, the White House’s acting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administrator, “has long stressed the need to force Americans to live climate-friendly lives,” according to the Washington Free Beacon. While an academic at UCLA, she insisted the federal government is duty-bound to “induce behavioral change” by enacting policies that “make the bad behavior more expensive.” She has also said we “could benefit from a simpler life” but doesn’t believe “most people will engage in dramatic behavioral change” unless they are “forced” to. Meat will be off the menu if the climatistas get their way. United Nations researchers recently told the Guardian “that scientists should be given the right to make policy prescriptions and, potentially, to oversee their implementation by the 195 states signed up to the U.N. framework convention on climate change.” Journalist Alex Newman – correctly – says doing so “would undermine self-governance while ushering in an ‘insane’ totalitarian technocratic form of government.” “How we live, heat, get around, travel and what we eat could soon no longer be an individual decision, but increasingly be dictated by the state,” says Kristina Schröder, who served under German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Germany’s Federal Family Minister from 2009 to 2013 regards the pandemic restrictions as “a blueprint for the climate movement on how to enforce fundamental restrictions on basic rights” and is “convinced that large sections of the climate protection movement are also fighting our way of living and our economy at least as much as they are fighting climate change.”

She is also persuaded that “if a technical solution were to be found tomorrow that would allow us to render CO2 harmless overall, large sections of the radical climate protection movement would not be relieved, but disappointed.”

She’s absolutely right. The damnable scheme to save the planet from human greenhouse gas emissions is, to borrow from H.L. Mencken, the “false-face for the urge to rule it.”

The climate cultists are no different than any of their predecessors who wanted to conquer and rule the world.

so far, 43,627 climate activists have vowed to stop breathing by the end of 2023 to attempt to end the impending doom of the earth in just 11.6 years. Models indicate that another 6,333 more are needed to effect and nearly reverse the earth’s crawl to destruction. Climatologists predict that they should reach that number by December 28th... if everything goes according to plan.

It won’t stop until all is ground to dust under foot.

Communists are very good at solving imaginary problems which always cause real catastrophes.

Now scientists say BREATHING is bad for the environment: Gases we exhale contribute to 0.1% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions

Until we’re all living in caves with no electricity and only allowed to have a dung-fire every third Sunday?

Except for THEM, of course!

And that’s just up here on The Frozen Tundra. I have no idea what’s in store for the rest of you. ;)

True that! And if they are too cowardly to do that then they must, by their own words, give up electricity, indoor plumbing, heat and air conditioning, transportation, and anything that has to do with combustion of anything that can burn.
And they must eat the bugs.

I choose not to do these things, but I am not preaching that practice. Free country, for now, so they can do what ever they want, but I will fight the forced practice of the environmentalist communists to the very end.

they will make us stop breathing and move into a zuckerbot digital neurolinked ascended evolved carbon based brain robotic body and call it imortality in the new gods age.

and those without salvation will gladly submit , and wake up in hell as their mechanical copy mocks them for being so guilable.

satans desire for us.
