Mariana Mazzucato warns that shutdown may be needed unless we 'do capitalism differently'
The novel coronavirus shutdowns and restrictions are slowly being lifted in most areas, but already warnings of a “climate shutdown” have begun reverberating on the environmental left.
A leading U.N. economist who advises European governments last week sent up a trial balloon via an article titled “Avoiding a Climate Lockdown,” arguing that in “the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again — this time to tackle a climate emergency.”
“Under a ‘climate lockdown,’ governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling,” wrote Mariana Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor who is a member of the U.N. Committee on Development Policy. “To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.”
Climate change skeptics immediately flagged her article on Project-Syndicate.org, which warned that the COVID-19 shutdowns have provided a blueprint for how to reduce emissions in a “climate emergency.”
“When COVID came along and the entire world went into a grip of fear and immediately started locking down, everything the climate activists had been demanding almost happened almost overnight,” said Marc Morano, founder of the anti-climate change website ClimateDepot.com. “In short, the COVID lockdown is a trial run for the climate lockdown.”

World Economic Forum
Man's contribution to the CO2 is only .05% while nature contributes .95%.
That equates to man's contribution to the global CO2 being only .002%.
They are lying to us and anyone willing to look at the numbers will realize that.........
Thus we get down to picking sides and it’s game on.
Hate to see it come to a head, but the commies are pushing their agenda full bore. Makes me wonder if they’ve decided now or never. What is being suggested is not going to be meekly obeyed I’m thinking.
“Mariana Mazzucato warns that shutdown may be needed unless we ‘do capitalism differently’”
Mariana is being a little too loosely lipped.
Just arrest this guy and put him in a padded cell where he
belongs.
May she meet God to answer for her absurdity very soon.
REALITY 101:
Leftists: “Constitution? We don’t need no steekin’ Constitution”
IOW, Covid isn’t working any more.
This is just the latest fear porn.
Sheit
Bring it. My red meat will be your meat. I will use my diesel truck to haul your butchered butt to my cooler.
Never been phuxed.

Karl Marx didn’t even want to go this far and his ideas killed 100 million people.
“Dear citizens. Today, in deep heartfelt conversations with our friends and allies, in behalf of our overall well being and safety, I am declaring a national carbon climate emergency
All federal agencies and their operations are now fully authorized to undertake all emergency measures necessary, to protect citizens, and country from this escalating crisis
Federal agencies are further notifying all State government’s to coordinate these operations and deployment of our protection teams to local regions as necessary to this emergency
For your benefit, all measures and instructions will be posted on our emergency management site as seen here
Thank you for your cooperation and I know what it’s like as I too drove a four wheeler through the hills and towns of the East.
May we progress and fight through this together”

May this trial balloon be riddled with dozens of .50 cal rounds!
Not the balloonist/buffoonist, mind you, just the she/he/it’s half baked idea.
We have a 6 - 3 SCOUTS.
Thank you DJT!
I don’t think even Laz would hit that...
