Meat: banned.

Dairy: banned.

Personal car ownership: banned.

Each person allotted only three new clothing items items per year.

Flying on a plane? Only allowed once every three years.

Welcome to Sadiq Khan's plan for London. And Khan is the head of a conference
of major city mayors that will see this 'vision' coming to your neighborhood
sooner than later. Los Angeles is certainly on board with the C40 agenda. Our
previous mayor, Yoga Pants, couldn't praise it enough. His replacement, Karen
Bass, gives Khan glowing approval.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/15/sadiq-khan-green-london-net-zero-ulez-c40-mayors-2030/

Picture the scene. You have just made it through the door from work, although
not by car because private vehicles no longer exist. You change out of your
work clothes into something more comfortable, perhaps one of three new items
of clothing you are allowed to buy every year.

Then it is downstairs for dinner, since all this virtue is hungry work. But
don't forget that meat and dairy are off the menu, so instead you might like
to daydream about getting away from it all-- only to remember that you used up
your quota of one short-haul return flight every three years last summer.

This is the radical vision of a "net zero" future dreamed up by C40, a global
collective of city mayors chaired by Sadiq Khan, which advocates extreme
measures to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and limit global
temperature increases to 1.5C.

The Mayor of London is, of course, no stranger to pushing the dial on climate
change. His unrelenting expansion of the ULEZ ultra low emissions zone in
August faced down major criticism from affected businesses, disadvantaged
citizens and vigilante vandals.

Khan is showing no signs of slowing down: this week, plans were unveiled to
lower the speed limit to 20mph on a further 40 miles of roads in London, the
capital's largest-ever rollout to date.

Since December 2021, he has led C40, which is made up of the mayors of 96
cities from six different continents. It spends its time conducting research,
holding conferences and drawing up "climate action plans" and was originally
founded by the then-Labour mayor of London Ken Livingstone in 2005.

It merged the following year with a similar body set up by Former President
Bill Clinton, and its current board president is Michael Bloomberg, the US
billionaire. Its website lists the British Foreign, Commonwealth, and
Development Office as a "major funder", among several other governments,
charities and multinational companies.

In 2019, when Khan was vice-chairman, C40 commissioned a startling study by
the University of Leeds and Arup, a consultancy, about how cities could slash
their emissions by 2030. Citizens' consumption habits were its central focus
as it set out a range of "progressive" and "ambitious" targets.

Its more radical suggestions involved no less than: the abolition of private
vehicles; the prohibition of meat and dairy consumption; the rationing of new
items of clothing to three each per year; and the restriction of short-haul
return flights to one every three years.

It also proposed slashing the use of steel and cement in construction and
significantly increasing the proportion of buildings made from wood,
disregarding the major restrictions this would place on attempts to solve the
housing crisis by building more homes.

February 5, 2021

Michael Bloomberg, UN climate envoy, shuns commercial travel for private jets
Like U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, the billionaire and former NYC mayor eschews
commercial travel for his emissions-heavy private jet

Flight records show that Bloomberg’s private jets took more than 1,700 trips and
emitted at least 10,000 metric tons of CO2 from August 2016 to August 2020,
a Business Insider analysis found. A typical car emits about 4.6 metric tons of
carbon dioxide in one year.

Bloomberg, who has a net worth of almost $55 billion, according to Forbes, owns
homes in New York City, the Hamptons, Westchester, N.Y., London, Bermuda, Vail,
Colo., and Wellington, Fla. and has over the years used his jets to travel between
them.

I happened to notice Bloomberg on the TVs last week giving a speech in which
he said people need to start giving up their cars and taking buses and trains
if we're ever going to defeat 'climate change'.

Bloomberg has 6 planes, 3 helicopters, 11 houses, and 27 cars but he says you
and I should use public transportation to fight 'climate change'.

Sure thing, buddy. How about you do a whole lot of fucking off instead?

I agree with Bloomberg. That said it's only going to happen when
people like him do the same and we see the same in China and India.
Until that happens nothing is going to change so everyone can go about
their lives like normal.

I remember when you guys told us Biden was going to outlaw hamburgers
and only let you drink 3 beers a week.
And no more gas stoves.

Is that still in effect? Cuz if so, I need to flee ASAP.

We all know this is never going to happen, so why the fear mongering?
Is it because that's all you guys have left?

Somebody gave him his new talking points.

Guess the hamburger/beer/gas stoves/
ceiling fan one was losing steam.

For fuck's sake, this is getting comical now. Nobody with half a brain
believes any of this will happen.
