IntrepidTravelerFrom the linked article/ report:
quote:
There are two key implications for how we live our lives: first, buildings will become much more expensive because the restrictions on building which generate substantial scarcities; second, transport will become much more expensive because the limits on air travel will generate excess demand for other forms of transport.
No mention of how this would be paid for, other than the implication that the common man will need to tighten his belt considerably. It's simply not sustainable, and all for a mostly manufactured crisis. (I say mostly because man undoubtedly has an impact on "global warming", however miniscule it might be; and my belief is that climate change is due almost entirely to causes beyond our control, and even our comprehension.)
I feel sorry for our children and grandchildren.
Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.

The report, assembled by a team of academics at Oxford University and Imperial College London for the British Government, states that to obey the law of the Climate Change Act, the public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions, regardless of its energy source.
OTOH, one could read it as a warning about the absurdity of the UK's Climate Change Act.
The warning is what the "elites" in academia believe will be necessary to achieve the requirements of the act the UK politicians put into law.
None of what they propose is realistic, stop eating beef and Lamb, close all airports but 3 by 2030 and stop all flying by 2050, just to meet the letter of the law...

Well, all animal life will have to cease to exist, then. As a mammal, I strongly protest this act.

sourdough44Say we cut back a handful of percent, then the human population grows a fair bit, did we get very far? Yes, for the totally deranged, no kids & pedal the bike to work(or Govt assistance) office may be the response.
Of course the other side of the world marches in, while we hamstring ourselves.
Like the out of control rabbit population(no predators) eventually a control takes a toll.

Fly-SigPer mile, driving a car is far more dangerous than flying. Per person transported, flying is far more energy efficient than driving. In terms of man hours and the economic impact, flying is far better.
Really the proposals are designed to seriously deter human movement, and reduce product movement. Closing airports makes transportation much less available and much more expensive.
There's no rational belief that climate will be impacted by any of the nonsense including this.

I’ve been saying exactly this in regards to the push for electric vehicles and the lack of both infrastructure and surplus electricity to make them even remotely feasible. Throw in the recent international travel “vaccine passport” talk which our asshole-n-chief signed off on with the EU and it becomes more apparent by the day that not only do the globalists want to restrict travel for all but the elites, but they want us at each others throats through openly divisive policy and inaction.
Maybe we need a “great reset” after all, but not what the elitist assholes are expecting.

Great, and often overlooked point, about limiting our mobility. TRUTH.
I'll bet the "academic elites" who wrote this paper won't stop flying. No, they never associate with we peasants.

corsairSo, they're extremists...full-blown, blinders-on extremists. Their suggestion, you need to cease EVERYTHING that you're currently doing. They should've just called in de-evolution or de-civilizing; saying all technological advances from the past were mistakes and work to undue them, purge them from the books, punish those who utilize any harmful methods.

This means that all UK airports will be ordered to close, eating beef and lamb will be banned, and construction of new buildings must cease, in order to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050.
The report says that all airports should close between 2020 and 2029 with the exception of Heathrow, Glasgow, and Belfast.
These major airports would close between 2030 and 2049.

TigerDoreWhen I watch, or read, the global warming alarmists scientific reports, their data states things like the sea level rise is "3 millimeters". In addition to not being anything resembling their catastrophic predictions, a 3mm rise in the sea level is impossible to measure.

Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of the "elites"?
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

In effect, Irony, because these elites are listing the required steps the UK government has to take in order to meet the requirements of the Clean Act they already passed into law.
One can read it as the lunacy of Elites suggesting what the world needs to do to combat Climate change, however you could read it as it is showcasing the incompetence of the Parliament members and the UK governments action on climate change by highlighting what they will have to do it meet their own standards, by law....
It's all a matter of perspective...

radiomanI have found that most of their solutions are not feasible, optimal and/or practical.
Solar Power
Wind Power
Electric Cars
no airports
Stopping road projects
I'm not seeing a lot of overall thought in their solutions, mainly because those "in charge" do not have scientific minds.
Take coal. The way coal is consumed now differs from how it was consumed 100 years ago, but you can't tell them that.
