Climate: What Experts Say We Must Do

“Experts” from activists to politicians to academics to news media story tellers have published much about “What we must do to stop climate change”.

• Are these serious proposals? Yes, they are, many from institutions and “experts”.
• Will they be taken seriously? Who knows.

These are actual recommendations from “experts”.

Which of these expert proposals do you support for stopping the climate from changing?

• Ban children
• Ban air travel. Or limit air travel to 2x per lifetime, or only to the very wealthy.
• Ban single family homes. Mandate everyone live in dense, urban city apartments and condos.
• Ban personally owned vehicles. Discourage personal travel, if you must, then only by walking, bike, bus or train.
• Ban meat consumption, dairy, cheese and ice cream (associated with methane emissions)
• In the U.S., pet dogs and cats consume up to 30% of the U.S. meat supply; experts say we must ban all pets. Globally, pets consume 20-30% of the world’s meat supply. We need to ban all pets.
• Ban home grown fruit and vegetables (they are carbon inefficient compared to “professional” growers)
• Ban cooking
• Ban global supply chains
• Establish global “climate lock downs” – limit travel, ration food and energy
• Suspend democracy if the people do not support these actions.
• WHO should declare a planetary public health emergency and be put in charge of the planet
• Shut down 40% of U.S. electrical generation capacity within 5 years (by 2030)
• Issue everyone in the world a global, personal, digital ID and use it for mandatory tracking of each individual’s carbon emissions.
• Make purchasing carbon offsets mandatory for everyone.
• Reduce global food production and mandate anti-obesity drugs for those who are overweight.
• Ration everything – housing, transport, food – everything must be rationed, and apportioned by government experts who know precisely your requirements.
• Reduce populations of large wild animals, such as elephants.
• End all fossil fuel usage in 5 years (by 2030); if we cannot achieve that (and we cannot) we must shut down all society and begin culling the population.
• Just Stop Oil demands all fossil fuels (petrol, oil for heating/industry, plastics) be 100% eliminated by 2030 which means shutting down most of society, ending most agriculture, and no heat or cooling, and killing people (“culling”).

The above proposals were made by “experts” telling us what we must do to address the “climate emergency” “crisis” of “global heating” and “boiling oceans”.

When looked at together, these proposals are not supportable and are non-sustainable. Many are stupid, silly and unrealistic. Some, undertaken by activists such as vandalizing art works, exterminating Arctic beavers, vandalizing or destroying vehicles and airports – are just stupid.

The way to address climate change is with practical, believable, and sustainable actions – not pie-in-the-sky magical thinking – nor to adopt unworkable solutions that have no effect – but which satisfy someone’s political agenda (which is putting a technocratic elite in charge of our lives – a modern restatement of Marxism and rule by central committees – One professor calls for “Degrowth Communism” as the solution!)

Which of these expert “solutions” do you support?
