All the lessons, like “wash your hands, keep your distance, don’t touch your face, cover your coughs”, or, “lock people down, don’t even let them in their front yards, treat them like criminals“? Or maybe “fill in skateparks”? Arrest people paddleboarding on the ocean with no one anywhere near them? Restrict their movements? Assault them for refusing to wear a mask? Or, perhaps, dictate what the plebes must do while doing differently as a big wig?
Use Covid lessons to curb climate change, Lords tell government
Information campaigns like those used in the Covid-19 pandemic would help individuals act on climate change, a House of Lords report has said.
To meet climate goals, a third of cuts to UK emissions by 2035 must come from people changing their behaviour, it says.
It calls the government’s current approach “seriously inadequate”.
In response the government said it is fully committed to its legally binding net zero climate goals.
The House of Lords report also advises government to financially support people to move to greener diets, transport and homes.
But calls to drive behaviour changes are at odds with Prime Minister Liz Truss’s focus on not intervening in people’s lives.
So she says, but, government is government
“People will have different lifestyles and make different choices about what changes they need to make, but we’re quite clear that people need to be helped to take this forward,” Baroness Kate Parminter, chair of the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee, which wrote the report, told BBC News.
In other words, they want to make this happen. Remember, COVID started with the recommendations, including stay at home as much as you can, and quickly morphed into government mandates
The Covid-19 pandemic provided important lessons in how to communicate clearly, using science, to the public, she said.
“Covid was a crisis, the climate is a crisis. We can learn some very important messages around the communications and the scale of the problem,” she adds.
Transport, food and energy are the key areas where we will need to change our behaviour, the report says.
They might start with nagging campaigns (despite people mostly having never moved from theory to practice after 35 years of spreading awareness): how soon till it truly moves to force? A lot of those bits of force are already in place in the UK, among others.
AUSTRALIA BUILDS COVID CAMPS FOR ‘NEW CLASS OF LEPERS – THE UNVACCINATED’
BY ADAM ELIYAHU BERKOWITZ | NOV 23, 2021 | BIBLICAL NEWS
Instruct the Israelites to remove from camp anyone with an eruption or a discharge and anyone defiled by a corpse. Numbers 5:2 (The Israel BibleTM)
The new measures are extreme, reminding some of the country’s history of leper colonies. One person tweeted an article in which an epidemiologist wrote that the COVID quarantine facilities would be “used for a new class of lepers – the unvaccinated.”
“Yes, they actually wrote that,’ Bernie Spofforth tweeted. “At this point your Government funded media are excusing human rights atrocities,” adding “They will never be forgiven.”
The comparison was not lost on the professional straff. Mount Gambier hospital opened a COVID triage tent at the entrance to its emergency room for mandatory testing before treatment. Patients who test positive would be admitted to a separate ward. The executive director of medical services Dr. Elaine Pretorius noted the separation.
“We don’t want to treat people with COVID like lepers, and we would never do that,” Dr Pretorius said. “But we do want to manage them in a safe way.”
NOT LONG AFTER THIS ARTICLE THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GAVE UP ON THE ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY AND LEFT THE COUNTRY TO COVID.
Cases in Australia are now plummeting as the population returns to the land of the LIVING.
