NYC Targets Coal And Wood Fire Pizza Ovens In Global Climate War

NEW YORK, NY – City officials have announced they will be requiring pizzerias with coal and wood fired ovens to cut their carbon emissions by up to 75%.

That could possibly mean an end to delicious coal-fired and wood-fired pizza across the city if the restaurant ovens can’t comply with the city’s new strict climate demands.

Accirdubg ti DCNF, Fox News host Jesse Watters and “pizza-slinger” protester Scott LoBaido ripped Democratic Mayor Eric Adams of New York City Tuesday over his proposal to ban certain pizza ovens.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection proposed requiring wood and coal-fired pizza ovens installed before 2016 to have emission control devices, according to the New York Post. LoBaido went viral after video of him emerged throwing slices of pizza while protesting the proposed regulation at New York City’s city hall.

Even pizza guru Dave Portnoy got in on the fight against the coal and wood fire pizza regulations.

Portnoy ripped a ‘pink-haired liberal’ who he said had to be behind the decision to ban coal and wood fired ovens in the city.

Some of New York City’s most popular pizzerias use those ovens.

“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” DEP spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”


The potential regulation may necessitate pizzerias that have ovens installed before May 2016 to purchase expensive emission-control devices. One owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn has already invested $20,000 in an air filter system, anticipating the implementation of this new requirement.

Maintaining and operating under the new regulations would cost pizza makers tens of thousands for compliance and thousands of dollars annually for maintenance and upkeep.

This effin' state.

So they’ve resolved all the issues of people being stabbed and assaulted in broad daylight? The people being pushed off of subway platforms to their deaths? Good to hear they’ve got time to work on this ultra important problem and got all those other issues taken care of.

I guarantee you China belches out more smoke and carbon in five minutes than all NYC pizzerias combined would in 100 years.

Seems like NYC should ban automobile usage inside the city- they produce far more emissions than any pizzeria ever could. See what that gets them.

I just saw that they are going to congestion pricing in midtown Manhattan, or it was approved to move forward.

So only the wealthy will be able to travel around by car in that section of the city now the rest of us plebes will have to pay dearly for the privilege.

This new Governor is a real piece of work:

New York Gov. Hochul touts NYC as first U.S. city to move forward with traffic congestion pricing

Lets be honest here, this is just another tax veiled under 'clean air'.

I know New Yorker's love their pizza, I wonder how much people will push back when they realize the government is trying to outlaw good tasting pizza in an absolutely pathetic attempt to curb this BS carbon emission thing.

I find this amusing as the city of New York is so terrified that a few hundred, or perhaps thousand wood fired pizza ovens are going to have a dramatic impact on the environment when I've had to stay inside the last few days because the Air Quality Index for my area has been close to 300 due to the fires in Canada.


I wonder when people will wake up and realize the Global Climate War is really a war on you.

War on climate change. Like the war on Drugs. The war on Terror.

One of the things these people are good at is making claims but never showing actual proof of their claims. "One of the largest contributors of harmful pollutants..." - Really? Show me the research, sir. We'd like to "follow the science" of your statement, including the anticipated reduction of pollutants as a result of implementing this rule.

^^^ you have to trust the science, it's what we tell you it is.

Right now Canadian wildfires are affecting my life way more than a few hundred pizza ovens.

Ban wildfires.

Won't be long they'll be after your smokers and ceramic egg grills, no more lump charcoal!

Won't matter anyway, they already cleared the development, distribution and sale of "fake meat", Link Soylent Green baby!

common-sense rule & justice groups

You know when these two terms are brought up that it's utter bullshit.

But isn't this what New Yorkers voted for? I'm fine with that, just stay out of Florida, we don't want you down here.

Okay I have to ask, does the city even know how many of these ovens even exist.

Is this even an issue compared to all the cars,busses and trucks that are in the city every day.

This will be just one of many issues that will drive people from the city never to return.

Yep.
New York City is heavily dependent on the rich (few) who pay the majority of taxes there. They continue to drive them away.

Ban wildfires.

Came in here to say exactly this. We've been getting choked out here for days because the freaking neighbors to the north can't figure out how to put water on a fire. For the amount of smoke we're getting down here (and we're hundreds of miles away), the whole country must be on fire!

I know this is pretty normal stuff for those who live out west, but I've never seen anything like it here. There's no way any amount of pizza ovens, or even industrial factories, can have a measurable impact compared to what this act of nature has caused.

Not defending Hochul, I think that she's a real piece of crap, but here's something from the article you linked:

quote:

Residents of those neighborhoods who make less than $60,000 will be eligible for a state tax credit. The act also requires that overnight toll rates be lower than peak costs and that a discount be available to low-income drivers.

Yeah, that what I was saying just the other day

According to dailymail, Chicago currently has the worst air quality of any major city in the world. And the Dems are worried about pizza ovens .

quote:

Chicago is currently ranked as the worst city, with an air quality of 166, while Washington DC takes the third spot with a reading of 151.

Minneapolis is currently recording an air quality of 111, Detroit is just below it with 107 and New York City follows with a reading of 98.

According to an online calculator created via Berkeley University, it was found that an AQI score of 64 translates to one cigarette smoked in a 24-hour period.

Based on those calculations, people in Chicago are currently smoking 2.5 cigarettes every day due to the smoke.
