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.”

It may be a coincidence, but the FedGov killed or enabled the killing of millions of buffalo on the Great Plains to starve out the nations that relied on them for food.
Global warming was not the problem even though there were millions of buffalo.

Where is Pol Pot and his attitude toward ‘professors’ when you really need him??
Did any of these lames see what happened in Sri Lanka, recently?
Notice the things they want never need be sacrificed? How about we do a lockdown moratorium on homosexuality, on pet ownership and on large universities? No more wine, Starbucks or marijuana use either.
She’s a bit late Soros and Gates already did this Climate Lockdown propaganda in 2020
Shoot her now. Dump the body in the gator pond
and unplug/disconnect everything from any non green power source.
oh and they can have an electric car.
That’s a man
that riot would quickly turn in to CW2 and perhaps WW3..
Mariana Mazzucato is a demented moron. I won’t pay any attention to what she says.
Does Mariana Mazzucato know that carbon dioxide emissions have NOTHING to do with climate change?
The greenhouse gas of interest is water vapor. It is ridiculous to blame a smaller than minuscule volume of carbon dioxide on climate change.
Finally.
It won’t bypass the Second Amendment.
We're not voting our way out of this.
‘Let’s see where we go now!’
based on the actions of police the world over during covid, the answer to that question seems evident...
who is a member of the U.N. Committee on Development Policy.
Criminalize using public funds to teach students to work towards a coercive government that explicitly is outlawed and protected by the Constitution. It is why we have a country.
That sounds disgusting...
She or he?
