WWII-Style Rationing of Meat, Clothing, and Energy Needed to Fight Climate Change, Say UK Academics

Kurt Zindulka 22 Feb 2023

Governments should re-introduce rationing schemes on goods such as meat, clothing, and fossil feuls in order to mitigate the supposed dangers of climate change, researchers at a top British univiersity have demanded.

Acadamics at the University of Leeds have called for World War II-style government rationing in order to fight climate change, arguing that green agenda taxes are levied in a “slow and inequitable” manner and therefore the policy of rationing has been wrongly “neglected as a climate change mitigation policy option.”

The study, which appeared in the Ethics, Policy & Environment journal, said: “Rationing is often seen as unattractive, and therefore not a viable option for policy-makers. It is important to highlight the fact that this was not the case for many of those who had experienced rationing. It is important to emphasise the difference between rationing itself and the scarcity that rationing was a response to. Of course, people did welcome the end of rationing, but they were really celebrating the end of scarcity, and celebrating the fact that rationing was no longer necessary.”

The researchers went on to explain that governments could specifically ration “selected goods, such as flights, petrol, household energy, or even meat or clothing” and that limits could be placed on the amount of petrol an individual can use per month and the number of flights per year.

What benchmark are these people using to show that all this so-called climate change policy is going to work? They’re being very vague on what defines climate change. Climate change is a natural part of the Earth

If you have high blood pressure, the doctor has a guide of what is considered hypertension. He prescribes you medication and the way we know that medication is working is that your blood pressure comes down to what’s an accepted blood pressure range. We don’t get that with the Climate Cult.  We get a lot of strange plans and ideas but no benchmarks.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
How can they possibly issue a benchmark?

Not only is there no single "correct" temperature for the Earth, they keep screwing with the data.

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.

Rationing energy in the UK, you say? "Rishi Sunak’s new private heated swimming pool uses so much energy that the local electricity network had to be upgraded to meet its power demands, the Guardian has been told.

While many Britons are facing increased electricity bills – and are trying to limit their energy usage – extra equipment was recently installed in a remote part of North Yorkshire to provide extra capacity from the National Grid to the prime minister’s constituency home."

It's now official. 
The EU has BANNED the sale of new diesel and gasoline cars from 2035.
Poland was the only country against the ban.
The plan is to abolish private car ownership and restrict your freedom of movement.
