I keep thinking of the title to that Michael J. Fox movie, “Back to the future.” Have you noticed yet what the environmental nutbags are trying to do? Stop progress and return to a more primative time of say, the mid-1800′s.
So, how are you supposed to get around? Ride public transportation? What if you don’t want to use public transportation? Whatever happened to freedom?
So what if you live in London and want to take a drive to Cornwall for a weekend getaway? What will you have to do? Take public transportation to a point outside the city limits where you must park your automobile?
Oh, I get it. It’s about CO2 and the non-existant climate change. Save the planet. Again I ask, save the planet from what? There is no such thing as climate change/global warming, that is just a lie, we all know it, and what about CO2? Tell me why we have to cut it. Truthfully, as a person who works in the science field, there is no reason. CO2 has no effect on our climate.
Let me take you back to grade school science class. Tree’s and plants, etc… need CO2 to live. We need tree’s and plants to live (they produce oxygen). Take one out of the equation, life on Earth ceases. Higher CO2 also equals more and healthier crops to feed us. The Earth has had much higher CO2 levels in the past, and as you can plainly see, nobody perished.
The European Commission on Monday unveiled a “single European transport area” aimed at enforcing “a profound shift in transport patterns for passengers” by 2050.
The plan also envisages an end to cheap holiday flights from Britain to southern Europe with a target that over 50 per cent of all journeys above 186 miles should be by rail.
Oooo, this kinda sounds like a power and control issue. Somebody thinks that people should behave a certain way, so he or they create laws to force them to live the way a select few think they should live. How very Mao of you folks!
Siim Kallas, the EU transport commission, insisted that Brussels directives and new taxation of fuel would be used to force people out of their cars and onto “alternative” means of transport.
“That means no more conventionally fueled cars in our city centres,” he said. “Action will follow, legislation, real action to change behaviour.”
What did I tell you? Power, control and tyrants. That’s the only thing this nonsense is about.
