It’s always “the next decade”, isn’t it? The next decade to implement massive government control and taxation. Usually by big wigs who refuse to modify their own ways and make their lives carbon neutral

EU chief calls current decade ‘make or break’ for climate change

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday that the world was in “the make or break decade’ with respect to the climate change. She was delivering a virtual speech at the 2021 Partnering for Green growth and the Global Goals 2030, or P4G, summit

“Change is never easy but Europe has taken the decision because mankind can’t wait any longer. And we have to do this together,” von der Leyen said.

“The next six months are crucial for the health and well-being of our people and our planet. Let’s work together.”

The EU’s new target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels. Agreed last month, the goal is more ambitious than the previous plan for a 40% cut.

Tell you what: let these EU countries implement all their climate cult policies, and let’s see what happens over the next 10 years. Every experiment needs an experimental group, and this will give the rest of the world the opportunity to see the results. We’ll see how much freedom is lost, how much taxes and the cost of living increase. And whether it makes a difference. It won’t, but, it will create more government

From Heat Officers to Mobilization Directors, Specialists Help Cities With Climate Change

Tucson hired a forester. Miami named a heat officer. And Los Angeles appointed a climate emergency mobilization director.

Across the United States, cities have launched new programs focused on dealing with extreme weather, reflecting the growing impacts of climate change on local communities, according to experts.

Since 2019 at least 30 U.S. cities have taken fresh action such as hiring specialists to combat the impact of extreme weather, including Phoenix, Houston, Louisville, Nashville, and Oakland, according to the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, based at Washington D.C.’s Atlantic Council think tank.

These government officers are now imbued with powers to tell citizens what to do. To impinge on their freedom and choice. Some things seem innocuous, like the heat manager in Miami

The officer will focus on strategies for the Miami region to adapt to its ever-hotter climate, with special attention on “communities of color and low-income residents, who have fewer resources to overcome these challenges,” Mayor Levine Cava said in late April at a news conference announcing the program.

Already, the newly appointed interim heat officer, Jane Gilbert, is getting to work with an agenda that includes creating more shaded bus stops and helping with existing plans for planting more trees in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Seems OK, right? Until they start telling people what to do. I do enjoy that these very Leftist people are always thinking that minorities, primarily blacks, cannot do anything on their own, that they can only survive with government. Rather a racist attitude, eh? Of course, we’ll all need shade when government forces most people to take the bus because we can’t afford electric vehicles. It’s all about reading between the lines and realizing what they Warmists want to do after watching them for decades.
