Smaller houses and denser neighborhoods needed to slash homes’ carbon footprint, researchers say

People will likely need to live in smaller houses and denser neighborhoods for the United States to drive down residential greenhouse gas emissions consistent with global climate goals, according to new research published Monday by researchers at the University of Michigan.

The shift is just one of several policy and cultural changes required to cut emissions from U.S. households consistent with long-term targets under the Paris climate agreement, according to the researchers. The U.S. will also need to slash emissions from electricity, retrofit older houses to be more energy efficient, and begin phasing out direct use of fossil fuels, such as fuel oil and natural gas, in heating homes.

Those changes would likely face opposition, particularly from Republicans and conservatives who have defended suburban living.

Currently, around 20% of U.S. energy-related greenhouse gas emissions come from heating and powering people’s homes.

Agenda 2030: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/development-agenda/

With two generations brainwashed with "sustainability" and Climate crap they might make this garbage fly.

Funny, but people have been farming the same land for generations and they are still getting crops off it. If that isn't sustainable, I don't know what is.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

LOL! That's right, it is. I would challenge any of y'all to live inside of my carbon footprint, wood heat and all.

If us humans aren't driving this Climate Change anyway, why does it matter a rabid rat's patoot what our carbon footprint is anyway? All this crap is based on some allegation of environmental disaster that isn't happening and we couldn't stop if it was.

How about we get just back to using what the Good Lord gave us to deal with whatever comes.

I guess this is more of that Global Socialism thingy they are trying to shove down our throats.

Lysenkoism led to the Holdomor. This is all based on false "science", too.
Let the UN dictate anything, and we'd see the same (but not without a fight).
