Have you ever noticed that most of the solutions offered by climate cultists involved taxing Other People and limiting people’s freedom and choice?
Climate change: Tax frequent fliers and get rid of SUVs, government told
A frequent flyer tax, phasing out polluting SUVs and restricting cars in city centres are among climate change solutions suggested by members of the public.
A citizens’ assembly of 108 people from all walks of life published its report after weeks of debate.
They proposed curbing road building and using the pandemic to cut emissions.
MPs said the report offered a “unique insight”, but activists Extinction Rebellion said it didn’t go far enough.
The report says the government must show leadership on climate change and insists climate policies must be fair to all – especially the poorest in society. (snip)
The members said it was “imperative that there is strong and clear leadership from government†to tackle climate change.
Oh, and don’t forget giving government more and more power. And people have been brainwashed enough to keep voting for the people who enable this, right up to they say “wait, this applies to me? No, it was only supposed to be Other People who paid the price.” One of the other things they recommended?
People should repair goods and share more, instead of owning all their appliances
So, who owns them? The government?
More proof that climate change is responsible for the raging fires on the west coast…

SUVs are very popular in the right and left coast urban liberal crowd. Would be interesting to see their reaction to banning/phasing them out.
A citizens’ assembly of 108 people from all walks of life published its report after weeks of debate.
The group, or citizens’ assembly, was set up by six government select committees – groups of MPs who look at what the government is doing and scrutinise policy.
Members of the assembly were chosen to represent a spectrum of views from all over the UK and committed 60 hours of their time to studying and debating climate change.
TEACH lies repeatedly that proposals only apply to others. Taxes on gasoline apply to those who buy petrol. A tax on flying applies to those who fly.

if they were picked by politicians, you can bet they reflected the politicians’ views.
Taxes on gasoline apply to those who buy petrol. A tax on flying applies to those who fly.
Taxes on gasoline apply to anyone who buys a product that must be transported.
Taxes on flying apply to anyone who buys a product from any business that requires travel over great distances.
PS Americans call it gas or gasoline, not petrol.
The article was about British citizens.
Are you British?
(of course, you’re hardly an American)
One of the reason the leftists want to ban cars in city centers is to bring more and more people into urban spaces where they can be controlled.
The left hates fly over territory where there are 1000’s of cities that are 50,000 down to 100 people. They can’t control them. The more conservative people they bring into urban areas the more they can dilute the vote in the suburbs and exurbs. With such a drastic amount of leftists already in the cities, diluting the vote just means the democrat get 70 percent of the vote instead of 90 percent while at the same time winning in the exurbs as well by ridding those of conservative voices.
this has never been about the weather for those who steer the AGW sheeple army. This is about power. The sheeple just don’t understand that. They scream science while at the same time refusing science when it does not work for them. Like you know. Voting in public when the science says that is safe.
