Exactly. The never want to talk about what it would take (assuming anything would do what they claim to want) and who would enforce such drastic measures and how.

It is just to create an endless “crises” where the elite get to do anything they want.

Oceana has always been at war with EastAsia.

This activist has no real data, and no real science. He has an agenda and an ideology.

“Exactly. The never want to talk about what it would take (assuming anything would do what they claim to want) and who would enforce such drastic measures and how.”

Here’s a small thought experiment. If you assume that we need to reduce emissions to the level of the early 1950s, then we’d have to reduce energy consumption accordingly. No TVs. No A/C. One car per family. Etc.

Now, in the interest of fairness, carry this a step further. Why should we in America be allowed to live like that when so many elsewhere live at much lower levels. Shouldn’t emissions be done on a per person basis across the world. How far would we have to reduce our standard of living to match the rest of the world? 1850?

BTW, there was an article in the Guardian a few years back. An environmentalist laid out a program which would reduce emissions sufficiently to bring them into alignment with what other environmentalist think would be necessary to stabilize world temperature levels.

I don’t remember all the things he said would be necessary but here are a few. No heat would be allowed for privately owned residences. This was necessary to encourage people to move into government approved and designed housing which would be very small. The government would determine who could take a commercial flight. Vacationers would be limited to one flight in their lifetime. Workers would be required to live very close to their workplace. No private automobiles and very limited public transportation. The list went on.

The point of the article was to outline how draconian the necessary steps and shame the politicians into getting serious with the necessary actions.

Personally, I don’t believe in global warming. I don’t think most politicians or environmentalists do either. Otherwise, they would be laying out programs like the one in the Guardian. One can only conclude that they care more about remodeling our civilization than global warming.
