Climate lockdowns begin; France bans short-haul flights to fight climate change
Opinion by Yen Makabenta • Friday
MARC Morano, founder of the Climate Depot website, first warned of the danger of travel bans in his book Green Fraud in 2021. He wrote:
"The climate alarmists and activists were first of all jealous when the Covid lockdowns happened at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. They were beside themselves, saying, 'How is this happening?' Everyone from Greta Thunberg to John Kerry, and UN officials. And then they started saying, 'We need to follow this. If we can shut down for a virus, we can shut down for the climate.' And that's what we're seeing now. There are even academics in Australia proposing adding climate change to death certificates. And Bill Gates has said the death toll will be greater than the pandemic. So they're following every step of the way, and it's not just, you know, a professor here, or someone in academia. We have a major UK report coming out, as well as an international agency report that will call for essentially the same type of lockdowns — everything from restrictions on your thermostat to restrictions [on] moving. You can only fly in a climate emergency, one that's 'morally justifiable.' You know, kinda like a lockdown, you have to justify going to the store for essential services."
Morano's apprehension has started to happen.
Starting on the first of June, France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions.
The law came into force two years after lawmakers had voted to end routes where the same journey could be made by train in under two-and-a-half hours.
