Great Reset: Eat Less Meat to Meet Green Goals, Says UK Climate Change Committee

The United Kingdom’s Climate Change Committee has called for society-wide behavioural modification to meet the government’s green agenda goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century.

Despite the UK accounting for less than one per cent of global emissions, official advice to the government from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), a quango established under the previous Labour government in 2008, argued that British citizens will need to eat at least 260 grams less meat per week in order to meet planned emissions reductions.

The independent non-departmental public body said in its “seventh carbon budget” this week that this would equate to around two large doner kebabs, two 6oz steaks, or two cooked breakfasts.

“We are absolutely not saying everyone needs to be vegan. But we do expect to see a shift in dietary habits,” Emily Nurse, head of net zero at the Climate Change Committee, said per The Guardian.

The government should also seek to disincentivise the public from flying internationally, claiming that the aviation industry accounts for a growing area of carbon emissions. The CCC proposed a range of different taxes that could be applied to make air travel more expensive, such as a tax on fuel.

The panel also suggested that a “frequent flier” tax could be imposed on those who take a large number of flights. Noting that such people tend to travel for business and typically earn higher incomes, the CCC said that “tax rates would need to be sufficiently high to manage demand”.

Additionally, the CCC said that the government should adopt “nudging” policies, a politically correct term used in Britain to denote subtle but effective behaviour control techniques and other methods deployed by the state to influence people into conforming to the government’s agenda, such as forcing the airline industry to label the emissions of every flight or placing restrictions on air miles benefits programmes.

Those people are stuck on stupid.

What I was thinking too. The UK is beyond any help or any redemption. The UK has fallen off the edge of rationality.
The UK has fallen into the abyss.
