Excerpts: But the notion of a national emergency today isn\u2019t farfetched. The United Nations website blares: \u201cWhat you need to know about the Climate Emergency.\u201d The European Parliament has declared one. So have hundreds of jurisdictions in at least 39 countries, including the U.K., Canada, Japan and Bangladesh. Climate-activist teenager Greta Thunberg gave away the game in 2019 when she said, \u201cI want you to panic,\u201d and, \u201cI want you to act as if you would in a crisis.\u201d Emergencies are an excuse to do whatever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. presidents can declare national emergencies, as spelled out in the 1976 National Emergencies Act, but they must be explicit: \u201cWhen the President declares a national emergency, no powers or authorities made available by statute for use in the event of an emergency shall be exercised unless and until the President specifies the provisions of law under which he proposes that he, or other officers will act.\u201d I\u2019ve searched far and wide for such provisions and can\u2019t find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter, we\u2019re living as if we\u2019re already under emergency conditions. As of Aug. 1, the Biden administration has halted the sale of lightbulbs with less than 45 lumens of brightness per watt. Incandescent bulbs don\u2019t make the cut and are now banned. Thomas Alva Edison is rolling over in his grave. Will electricity be rationed next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops, too late. In September 2022, the California Independent System Operator\u2014which runs the state\u2019s power grid, attached to sporadic renewables\u2014declared an \u201cenergy emergency alert,\u201d urging residents to ration power from 4 to 9 p.m. In March, the European Union mandated energy consumption be cut by 11.7% by 2030. Brits are urged to turn their heat off at night for \u201cemissions savings.\u201d The Swiss considered jail time if your thermostat is set above 66 degrees in the winter. Sit in the cold and dark and like it! And wait till you see the menu. The EU already allows crickets and mealworm larvae as food. Are high-protein maggots next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This nonsense could never happen in the U.S., could it? Well, in 2016, New York University professor Matthew Liao suggested, \u201cpossibly we can use human engineering to make the case that we\u2019re intolerant to certain kinds of meat.\u201d He even suggested deploying a \u201cLone Star tick where, if it bites you, you will become allergic to meat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to the mix the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, which has an \u201cambitious target in 2030<\/a>\u201d of no meat, no dairy, no private vehicles and only \u201cthree new clothing items per person per year.\u201d Plus one short flight every three years. That sounds like climate lockdowns to me. Who are these kooks? \u201cA global network of nearly 100 mayors\u201d including 14 in America: Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; New Orleans; New York; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; San Francisco; Washington and Seattle. Michael Bloomberg is president of the board. Better stock up on socks while you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you declare an emergency, anything goes. The Biden administration pushes electric vehicles, and this summer we had a glut of them\u2014inventories were 92 days, double what is typical. As of midyear, Ford had 116 days of unsold Mustang Mach-Es. Maybe because saner Americans are becoming preppers and loading up on good old gasoline-fired cars before California\u2019s Advanced Clean Cars II Regulations, which other states follow, outlaws them in 2035. Vroom, vroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency-preparedness edicts abound: Gas stove bans. No plastic bottles for sale at San Francisco Airport. A new proposal from New York City\u2019s Department of Environmental Protection would effectively ban coal- and wood-fired pizza ovens. A city official reports that fewer than 100 restaurants would have to install prohibitively expensive emissions controls, so it must be a real emergency if New York is tracking down these last few ounces of carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate lockdowns still sound like crazytown, but the urge to curtail individual freedom is visible in countless government, media and think-tank blueprints for a controlled future. Saner minds should prevail\u2014the Climate Emergency Act of 2021 evidently died in committee\u2014but we need constant vigilance to stand guard against the climate-excuse assaults on our liberties. To show how adolescent this has become, last year Swiss Environmental Minister Simonetta Sommaruga suggested that residents \u201cshower together\u201d to save energy. OK, now we\u2019re getting somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
