The United Kingdom’s Climate Change Committee (CCC) is rapidly moving to eliminate useless carbon from the environment by targeting citizens. The agency said that achieving Net Zero will require “behavioral changes” from the people that include curtailing every aspect of life from diet to transportation. But don’t worry, the agency claims the “people seem willing to accept there must be some degree of constraint.”
“In terms of the analysis we’ve done, about 10 percent of emissions reduction to 2035 comes from what we would think of as behaviour change. That’s predominantly around diets, flying and modal shifting [to] public transport,” CCC Director James Richardson said. Richardson said half of the necessary behavioral changes will surround diets as people will forced to consume less meat and find alternative protein sources.
The CCC would like to implement harsh fines on the automotive industry. Richardson compared the switch away from fuel engines as a simple matter of creative destruction. “We know from previous transitions between technologies that incumbent firms can get left behind – we all remember Blockbuster Video or Kodak. When these new technologies come in, it can be easy for incumbents to think they have more time to change than they do,” he stated. Well, we didn’t need to redo the entire infrastructure of the nation to do away with DVDs. There was a benefit to the consumer and private sector in adopting those new technologies. The private sector has shown an unwillingness to switch to EVs, for example, as has the consumer.
Starmer lied at the COP29 summit when he claimed his government would not be “telling people how to live their lives’ by reducing air travel or changing their diets.” Other Build Back Better nations also adhering to the Great Reset are slowly forcing their populations to make changes through taxation on carbon-producing items like cattle or aviation. Yet, how will governments FORCE the people to change their diets and transportation methods? These agencies are overly optimistic for believing the masses will blindly comply with their baseless orders.
The CCC believes that Brits must reduce meat and dairy consumption by an astounding 50% by 2050. “Setting a target is not enough. The UK must back up its international commitments through actions here at home,” the CCC has explained. The agency has already made advancements in reducing the sheep and cattle population. CCC chairman Piers Forster. Forster has suggested imposing high taxes on meat and dairy products to make them less attainable for the average person. The governments will fill their coffers with taxes and the elite will not need to make such “behaviour changes” as these initiatives are meant to benefit the few while punishing the masses.
Biden killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, as an example, under the premise of climate preservation and look what happened. All the measures taken to reduce fossil fuels have caused costs to skyrocket, but what happens when these measures transfer to the food supply? These nations are hampering their own ability to produce food by destroying cattle and farmland. They’re ensuring costs rise due to taxation. Importing goods has come at an increased cost due to increased demand and higher energy costs. These agencies have no alternative in place aside from lab-grown meat and insects. Is that a change we are willing to make for the benefit of none?
