Climate change "too important" to be left to personal choice

According to the BBC, living an "ultra-low carbon lifestyle" will have to become mandatory.

It means cutting our standard of living by over 75% by 2040, and half-again that by 2050.

Private cars will have to be a thing of the past, and we're all going to be on vegan, plant-based diets.

Not optional.

    Remember: YOU are the "carbon" that THEY want to eliminate!

      The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Massachusetts December 1620. Allegedly steping ashore on a rock later coined "Plymouth Rock" after souvenir hunters chipped it down to 1/3 its original size of 20,000 lbs, and the town of Plymouth wanted it the center of town, they broke it in two, leaving the lower half in its original spot. in 1880 it was decided to rejoin the halves, in it's original location (as the lower half had never been moved) and carved "1620" on it's face. A cement encasement was built over it so one could look down at the rock, but nor deface it. In the mid 1960's I took a school trip to Plymouth as a history lesson. It was high tide and the water was no where near the rock, but you could see during astronomically it would go up to it and even perhaps go over it during storms. I have friends who live in the area and recently went to see "The Great Rock" It looked so tiny some 55 odd years later, but the ocean level.... lets just say that rock is more or less at the same tide mark it was 400 years ago. If the ocean is rising at this rate, it will take thousands of years maybe even tens of thousands of years before it becomes an issue that has to be dealt with.

      That said, Nikola Tesla had the patents on free wireless energy over 120 years ago based on his understanding of the working of the great pyramids of Egypt. That's what the engineering of Wardenclyffe was designed upon. The powers that be don't want clean energy, they don't want sustainability. They want your money, then the want you as slaves, and finally they want you dead.
      Mann-Made Climate Change is a total lie using (and abusing) an Asperger’s syndrome victim as a manged tool, with the mental capacity and emotional stability of a ten-year-old. All-the-while denying humanity their freedom, liberty and sovereignty by denying us the technology that is perhaps tens of thousands of years old. All so you can be enslaved, robbed and eventually put to death.

    Any lower and the planet dies, with us along with it. We had nothing to do with it and cannot change it.

    I find Qs banter about "Nothing can stop what's coming" interesting...which politically is true but also the cycles of earth/sun/galaxy.

    The end of this cycle is coming soon, a few of us will survive and will start over from scratch just like our ancient ancestors did before us.

      Honestly I think Graham Hancock is probably SPOT ON.

      I believe that the Pyramids were likely built a LONG LONG time ago. The technology to make these statues barely exists today.

      We've been lied to about Giants, the Pyramids, and I just found out that some lizard type humanoid remains have been found in S. America and is being kept under wrap...

      If we progressed this far, in say 5,000 years.

      And we have been around with this amount of brain (and a bit more), for over 100,000 years.
      Then isn't it probable that at least ONE other cycle of humans achieved amazing things?
      Maybe they worked INSIDE themselves, and perfected working with STONE because of wanting to be closer to nature.

      the more I learn, the LESS I trust the history I was taught!

      The impossibility of building the great pyramid WHEN, HOW and HOW FAST they claim is just wrong!

        It's likely they survived Noah's flood 6K yrs ago...6K before that was more than enough time to build them; after all, each cycle of civilization is 12,000 years.
        The next cycle is rearing it's head, 10 to 20 years to go...well within Our life times...See: All the evidence in 17 mins.

        Tesla built Wardenclyffe based on the the technology used by the great Pyramid. A flowing aquifer under the structure with a grounding reaching down into it. Our corrupt government (owned lock stock and barrel by the corrupt central banks) made sure Tesla would not be allowed to recreate the ancient ways.

          That said, I saw a guy use a magnifying "shield" to concentrate enough light, to cause a rock to crack apart from the heat. It looked like a $20 setup.

          One of those flat plastic setups. Anyways. Makes you wonder what you could do with Optics, and a lot more engineering?

          The first cars were actually Battery Operated!

    More hyperbole to scare the populace into enabling its own demise - with the self-appointed elites the only ones remaining.

    My suggestion to them: find a new planet on which to carry out your minimal-carbon nonsense. Leave me alone.

    I do what I can to expose the farce of 'climate change' whenever I have the opportunity -- whether in person or online / social media. My efforts are to embarrass individuals for holding such anti-science beliefs regarding anthropogenic climate change in light of the actual science behind a changing climate and how implementation of so-called green solutions are just the manifestation of political power.

    When you look closely at who is jetting about the globe it’s overwhelmingly “the elite woke”.
    We are beginning a new era of NeoFeudalism. Get in your pod plebe. And eat ze boogs.

    Tell them to f--- off. Totalitarianism always finds a reason to sink its claws into everybody.

      Of course they aren't going to make it that easy. It will NOT be a matter of choice, or have you not noticed gas prices lately? Water? Electricity?

      We took a house hunting trip to Arizona (actually are on our way back now). In DFW, gas was in the $2.85 range and probably still is near that. In Tucson it was $4.79. Our real estate guy said that before C-19 gas was more in line with Texas, but after C-19, the price went up and just never went back down again.

      Because: they can.

      At this point the question is: can you afford it? (Most of us can, even if we don't want to.)

      Next the question will be: can the utility companies afford the penalties and "equities" they will have to pay.

      And finally, the resources we want and need will simply be outlawed. At least for us lower-class folks. I'm sure Harry will still be able to fly over to daddy's party, then return immediately for Archie's birthday, by private plane, of course.

    I say let them rant all they want about a carbon lifestyle. Carbon is an element. Naturally occurs as graphite or diamond. A solid. Follow the science!

    And note the decades-long pin-drop silence on Agenda 21 / 2030 / whatever they're calling it this year - from our alleged Republican "leaders."

    I truly have not heard a single one of our most noteworthy "leaders" so much as utter the words "Agenda" and "Twenty" and "One" consecutively in a sentence.

    Which is why we're continuing to see this aggressive, firehose-blast of hardcore collectivistic attacks on human rights largely succeeding and advancing, with nary a peep of opposition from our elected officious from County Alderman up to Recently-Seated GOP Presidents. Not a single damned word.

    There has been copious material on this for at least a decade, but an excellent rundown of A21 is the 2011 piece "Sovietizing America," from Michael Shaw and Ed Hudgins:

    Riddle me this Batman? If we were to eliminate most (or all) the CO2 in the atmosphere. How long will it take the planet and everything on it to die?
    Answer: As quick as it would take to die without oxygen: Almost instantly.
