Are you ready for the climate serfdom? As I reported recently, the climate lockdowns are coming fast. You will own nothing, go nowhere, have no eat ze bugs in the dark, and be happy.
You certainly won’t be going on holiday, if they can help it. The bans on jet travel — for us plebs, anyway — are already starting.
Next time you visit France, you could be forced to take the train or bus on certain journeys, with the country’s ban on flights under 2.5 hours – initially proposed in April – receiving the go-ahead from the European Commission in recent days.
Initially applying to flights from Paris Orly to Bordeaux, Nantes and Lyon, the ban may be expanded to include other routes after three years […]
It’s expected up to 12% of the country’s domestic routes will be culled under the ban.
In fact, a blanket ban on flights under 2.5 hours means that pretty well all flights within France would be banned. Even flying from one end of France to the other — Perpignan to Lille, for instance — takes under two hours.
And you know it isn’t going to stop there.
Environmental groups are pushing for the flight ban to go even further, with Greenpeace saying it should extend to six hours where a train alternative is available.

Which would effectively ban all internal flights in Europe. From Lisbon to Berlin, for example, takes just 3.5 hours non-stop. Flying from Lisbon to the northenmost of Sweden would take less than six hours, non-stop.
You can be certain, though, that the fleets of private jets ferrying the climate-bothering elite from one international confab to another won’t be affected.
And when you finally get home from the exhausting six-hour train trip that replaced your one-hour flight, don’t rely on being comforted by your faithful animal companion when you arrive.
Because pets will be banned, too. At least, that’s what some want you to believe.
The World Economic Forum is now calling for millions of cats and dogs worldwide to be slaughtered in an effort to reduce the “carbon pawprint” they produce as a result of eating meat.
The WEF, which has ordered mainstream media outlets to begin pushing the narrative, wants to introduce an international policy that would require the majority of pet owners to euthanize their animals.

In fact, there is no such dramatic policy announced by the WEF. This much is clearly — so far — a conspiracy theory, for all that it’s being amped up, word-for-word, across the internet.
But, if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s news.
What is true is that, in nearly identically-worded pieces, major news outlets are laying the groundwork for a pet-deprived future.
Our four-legged friends don’t drive gas-guzzling SUVs or use energy-sucking appliances, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a climate impact. In fact, researchers have showed that pets play a significant role in the climate crisis […]
Their meat-heavy diet is the biggest contributor to their carbon pawprints, which requires an abundance of energy, land and water to produce. And the production of pet food emits huge amounts of planet-warming gases.
We don’t have to be Nostradamus to see where this is going.
But, for the moment, they’re not telling us to do without pets entirely. Not yet.
You might also consider how some animal breeds tend to come with more health issues […]
“Small rodents and birds are great options […] Snakes, turtles and reptiles can have a really low impact, too, for those that are into it.”
CNN
Besides, the Climate Cult are pretty certain we’re going to need our pets as we enter the socialist utopia of the Green New Deal.
“Better wrap up warm, stockpile food and remember there is a surprising amount of protein in the average household pet.”
Fox News
Those words of wisdom come from Climate Cultist Emma Thompson, she who is known for tucking into Wagyu beef as she travels First Class to her next Extinction Rebellion event. Still, if the Climate Cult gets its way, it’s probably good advice. Ask the Venezuelans.
But, still, when has the WEF ever given us reason to believe conspiracy theories about them, before? Besides, the conspiracy theories have been “fact-checked”.
So you know they’re probably true.
