Both Austin and Houston are part of ‘C40 Cities,’ an alliance of mayors seeking to impact climate change and “cut their emissions in half by 2030.”
Two Texas cities are participating in an emissions-cutting program that seeks to end meat and dairy consumption.
According to the organization, “C40 is a global network of nearly 100 mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis.”
Although largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg, C40 has other donors including FedEx, Google, and the Clinton Foundation.
Both Austin and Houston are listed as participating cities, with “membership operat[ing] on performance-based requirements, not on fees.”
Houston is a “Megacity,” according to the C40 membership ranking. Megacities are “Cities that show exceptional climate leadership at the global level, and have an urban population that currently/is expected to exceed 3 million or more people by 2030.”
Austin is in the “Innovator” membership category, which includes “cities that show exceptional climate leadership at the global level, but do not meet the population/size criteria of a Megacity.”
Altogether, the participating cities make up a quarter of the global economy.
According to C40 Cities Executive Director Mark Watts, “As always, C40 has adopted a science-based approach and that science is clear: average consumption-based emissions in C40 cities must halve within the next 10 years. In our wealthiest and highest consuming cities that means a reduction of two-thirds or more by 2030.”
Watts stated this in a report from C40 Cities in 2019 entitled, “The Future Of Urban Consumption In A 1.5°C World.” The report lays out “ambitious targets” for cities to meet regarding the urban consumption of building materials, food, clothing and textiles, private transportation, electronics, and household appliances, as well as private aviation travel.
The report defines “ambitious targets” as the following: “Target level of ambition for consumption interventions that is more ‘ambitious,’ based on a future vision of resource-efficient production and extensive changes in consumer choices. This level was typically informed by expert judgment rather than existing research.”
Under meat and dairy consumption, the ‘ambitious target’ would be 0 kilograms of either for all citizens.
Instead of fulfilling their fiduciary duty to maximize returns to investors, corporate managers are using shareholder funds to "invest" in ESG causes.
In Texas?! Well more beef for the rest of us. And I bet the rich and so-called elite in those cities will still have their meat.
Did anybody ask the people in those “C40” cities if they WANT to give up meat and dairy? Or is it just an another case of the Politburo knowing what is best for the proles?
Sounds like they are planning another Holomodor but in the USA.
Why don’t they get rid of grain, too? It takes a lot of fossil fuel to power tractors, combines, spray rigs, trucks carrying grain to market, grain driers, etc. No bread, bagels, donuts, breakfast cereals, meat or dairy. That’ll go over real well.
Maybe this is the final wake-up call people need to throw these bastards in the dustbin of history.
Good luck ending meat consumption in Houston Texas. Can’t make this stuff up lol
....this has got to be one of the most dumb-assed articles I have ever read here on FR and I’ve been a Freeper for many years....do these dips**ts realize they are in the heart of Central Texas, where beef BBQ reigns supreme...?? they are going to try to get folks to give up one of Texas’ greatest treasures....beef brisket slow cooked to perfection with a side order of delicious onion rings or fries...? washed down with a couple of Lone Star beers....? these people are just plain nutz........
"Under meat and dairy consumption, the ‘ambitious target’ would be 0 kilograms of either for all citizens."Under clothing and textiles, each person would be allotted three new clothing items per year.
"Under transportation, there would not be any private vehicles.
Under flying, the “ambitious target” is one “short-haul return flight” less than 1500 kilometers—which is equivalent to 932.057 miles—once every three years.
I would not worry about it—particularly the Clinton Foundation, grift central.
The globalists will all eat the meat that will come from Bill Gates farms, secretely raised, of course.
..travel restrictions...
The elites want to keep the peons away from their compounds.
If they can conquer Iran and Russia they can grab all the good caviar as well....

Under transportation, there would not be any private vehicles.

To be eventually replace with boxcars.
Protein deprivation (meatlessness)

Oxygen deprivation (maskes)

Depopulation (the slow, painful way).

No Dairy products.....does that include mothers milk...?
Sounds like population control.
When mothers milk is outlawed....only outlaw babies will be nourished.
Transgenders...lesbians...and girly-men mostly affected.

Suburbs of Austin & Houston experience an economic boom while those cities crater.
