Is anyone surprised that the Cult of Climastrology is attempting to control where we live?
Why Housing Policy Is Climate Policy
In California, where home prices are pushing people farther from their jobs, rising traffic is creating more pollution.
Hmm, I wonder what’s causing the price of housing to be so high?
California has long been seen as a leader on climate change. The state’s history of aggressive action to reduce air pollution, accelerate the use of renewable energy and speed the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy has inspired governments around the world to set more ambitious climate goals.
But there is trouble on the horizon, and California’s climate leadership is at risk.
Across most of the state’s economy, greenhouse gas emissions have been trending steadily down. But ballooning car traffic on city streets and freeways is negating much of that progress. In California, about 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and they are increasing. In some California counties, two-thirds of emissions are from vehicles.
The solution?
In November, the California Air Resources Board released an update on efforts to reduce pollution from transportation. The numbers were alarming. Despite headlines about California’s push for more electric vehicles, pollution from cars is still climbing. “With emissions from the transportation sector continuing to rise, California will not achieve the necessary greenhouse gas emissions reductions to meet mandates for 2030,†the board warned.
The solution? “Significant changes to how communities and transportation systems are planned, funded and built,†the board said.
Put more directly, in order to solve the climate crisis, we have to solve the housing crisis.
What they want to do is force people into denser city centers, and take full control of housing, dictating everything including pricing. Much easier to control people this way.
California just pooping pollution out all over the place and the rest of the country has to suffer with the acid rain it creates. Fu**ing eco terrorists out on the left coast.
They’ve tried hard to punish California drivers with their road diet program that reduces commuter lanes in an effort to torture drivers into riding bicycles to work. That only resulted in doubled commute times for drivers and open revolt; and dangerous traffic jams for desperate people trying to flee for their lives from the Paradise fire storm.
