There’s a famous saying: “wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away.”
But a wild horse is getting ready to drag New Zealanders out of their cars and their houses and force them to ride a bicycle and eat bugs in a pod.
New Zealand promised its public sector would become carbon neutral by 2025 as it declared a climate emergency on Wednesday, a symbolic move that critics said needed to be backed with greater actions to reduce emissions.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the climate emergency declaration was based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s findings that to avoid more than 1.5 degree Celsius rise in global warming, emissions would need to fall by around 45% from 2010 levels by 2023 and reach zero by around 2050.
“This declaration is an acknowledgement of the next generation. An acknowledgement of the burden that they will carry if we do not get this right and do not take action now,” Ardern told lawmakers in parliament.
After an hour-long debate, a majority of parliamentarians voted in favour of the declaration. The main opposition National Party voted against it saying it was nothing but “virtue signalling”.
If you’re like everyone else, you are probably asking: “what does it mean to be ‘carbon neutral’?”
Well, it’s relatively simple:
- You put crippling taxes on gas to force normal people to stop driving
- You put crippling taxes on property to force normal people to move into tiny apartments
- You put crippling taxes on meat to force normal people to eat bugs
By doing those three things, you change the weather.
The elites that promote this agenda are, of course, not affected by any of it in any way at all, other than that they make money from it in various ways.
Every government is going to start shilling this stuff had in 2021, as the “coronavirus crisis” transforms into a “climate emergency.”
