From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Chris Morrison<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, the actress Joanna Lumley suggested<\/a> a return to a form of wartime rationing to \u201csave the planet\u201d including a ban on meat and a restriction on travel. How we laughed and passed it off as one of the silly things celebs say to attract attention. Nobody assumed that Her Lumliness was going to start dining on snoek<\/a> and a thin slice of bread and marg. But we are not laughing quite so much now. The evidence grows that a wartime and largely meat-free diet of 2,500 calories a day is exactly what is being planned. In London, Sadiq Khan is trying to limit citizens to two small meatballs a day. He has signed up to the \u2018Good Food City Accelerator<\/a>\u2019 that aims to implement the Planetary Health Diet<\/a>. Under this diet, courtesy of Green Blob billionaires, Londoners daily meat ration will be just 44 grams a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth-free zone inhabited by the British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his ruling Labour Government suggests that few lifestyle changes will be needed on the path to Net Zero. As always when dealing with career liars, it is necessary to look at what they fund, consult and write. Earlier this week, the Climate Change Committee said<\/a> that Britons will have to fly less, eat less meat and use public transport more often to reach Net Zero goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rest. The shadowy international C40 group chaired by Sadiq Khan states in a policy brief<\/a>: \u201cThe consumption-based emissions sources with the biggest opportunities for reduction are unsustainable diets, construction of buildings and infrastructure, clothing and textiles, electronics and electrical appliances, private transport and aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C40 is a collection of around 100 international cities and it is mainly bankrolled<\/a> by Extinction Rebellion funder Sir Christopher Hohn and Bloomberg Philanthropies, whose controller is the C40 president Michael Bloomberg. Other funders include the British Government. The food accelerator project is designed to achieve the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) by 2030. Again, these grand projects do not just appear. The PHD is the work of EAT which says it is has an \u201coutsized appetite for impact<\/a>\u201d. Helped, no doubt, by outsized amounts of money from rich people and organisations with a political Net Zero agenda. These include the Stordalen Foundation, Welcome Trust and the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC). The Executive Chair of EAT is Der Gunhild Stordalen, a former World Economic Forum \u2018Young Global Leader\u2019. Also heavily involved is Johan Rockstrom, often described as the climate alarmists\u2019 alarmist from the Potsdam Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the miserable Net Zero project going, to alter society radically by seizing control of almost every facet of social and economic life and to help transfer enormous sums of money to the favoured elites in the new Green Industrial Complex, a massive disinformation and gaslighting operation has been spreading mass climate psychosis for decades. This is far from being a conspiracy theory. One picture says it all as the retweet below circulating on social media shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look at what is written, what is being funded and what is influencing the trusted messengers. C40 publishes extensively on the art of communicating climate fear. \u201cHumans are 22 times more likely to remember a story than any other communication and believe anecdotes over evidence,\u201d it was noted in a recent \u2018comms\u2019 blog post<\/a>. Sadly, too true. Non-scientific anecdotes about bad weather dominate the mainstream headlines. Asking what stories should be told about \u201cclimate action\u201d, the blog stated: \u201cTackling the climate crisis requires change, upheaval and conflict including within our own hearts. Stories of re-building the world can be epic, and people banding together and finding their strength to fight climate change can be moving. Let\u2019s sell the adventure of reaching a sustainable, equitable and regenerative future because that\u2019s what we are living through anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile. back in the real world, U.K. car and steel factories are closing because of Net Zero. Plans are afoot to throw family farmers off their land by a combination of a capital-destroying inheritance tax and higher prices for fertiliser. The mad Miliband comes up with an impossible dream almost every day and loots consumers and taxpayers to fund his fantasies, home and abroad. The local oil and gas industry is being destroyed although gas turbines fed with imports will have to be kept on electricity grid standby. The obvious lack of many new green jobs<\/a> is disguised by counting make-work consultancy and charitable posts and rebadging existing occupations. Electricity prices in the U.K. are some of the highest in the industrial world due to a reliance on \u2018cheap\u2019 renewables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As happened with the Democrat party in the U.S., the anti-working class agenda is set to destroy traditional political alliances in the U.K. The governing Labour party has four years before it faces inevitable annihilation in a General Election, but maybe it doesn\u2019t care. Haven\u2019t you heard? The world is ending sometime around 3pm next Tuesday (see Guardian<\/em> for further updates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
