More climate change nonsense from the UK:
People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one
litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change,
a major new report warns.
Tara Garnett, the report's author, warned that campaigns encouraging
people to change their habits voluntarily were doomed to fail and urged
the government to use caps on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon
pricing to ensure changes were made. "Food is important to us in a
great many cultural and symbolic ways, and our food choices are
affected by cost, time, habit and other influences," the report says.
"Study upon study has shown that awareness-raising campaigns alone are
unlikely to work, particularly when it comes to more difficult changes."
If the citizens of the UK are okay with with government enforced food rationing to solve a non-existent climate problem, that's their problem. Remember, however, the words of our own Messiah-in-waiting...
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes
on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other
countries are going to say OK."
The shape of things to come?
