These 14 US Cities Have A 'Target' Of Banning Meat By 2030 (thefederalist.com)
Quote:

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the "C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group," which has an "ambitious target" by the year 2030 of "0 kg [of] meat consumption," "0 kg [of] dairy consumption," "3 new clothing items per person per year," "0 private vehicles" owned, and "1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person."

C40's dystopian goals can be found in its "The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5C World" report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.
Quote:

Media coverage of C40 Cities' goals has been relatively sparse. The few media personalities and news outlets who have discussed it have been heavily attacked by the corporate "fact-checkers." In a "fact check" aimed at conservative commentator Glenn Beck, AFP Fact Check claimed that the banning of meat and dairy and limits on air travel and clothing consumption were actually "not policy recommendations."

AFP quotes a paragraph from the original "The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5C World" report, which reads, "This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in C40 cities; rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points that cities, and other actors, can reflect on when considering different emission-reduction alternatives and long-term urban visions."

But this paragraph, likely included in the report as a liability in the case of pushback, seems to directly contradict the meaning of "target," which in this context can be defined as a "desired goal." The target of eliminating meat, dairy, and private vehicles by 2030 is "based on a future vision of resource-efficient production and extensive changes in consumer choices," the report notes something its authors clearly hope to bring about. If these were not their goals, they would not have labeled them "ambitious targets."

The "fact-checker's" insistence that C40 Cities' explicitly stated climate goals are somehow insincere is even more unconvincing, given that we are watching them start to unfold right now. This year, in lockstep with C40 Cities' 2030 aims, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city will place caps on the amount of meat and dairy served by city institutions, such as schools and prisons. Meanwhile, the U.K. has banned the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2030, and France has banned short-haul flights "to cut carbon emissions."
Quote:

Climate activists are also advocating for "climate lockdowns," in the same way there were Covid lockdowns. Ideas floated for a climate lockdown have ranged from shuttering people in their homes and restricting air travel to providing a Universal Basic Income and introducing a maximum income level.
Quote:

Ultimately, the climate coalition's goals are inherently anti-human. People generally need meat and the protein it provides to flourish. Banning meat and dairy, restricting calories, genetically altering the human body, and impoverishing the masses will hurt the planet and people. More likely than not, it will do more than hurt people it will kill many of them.


If you're a true believer in this climate change/control bull****, then you need to truly ask yourself if this is the life you'd really want to live. If the answer is yes, then you have a miserable life.

I think the country would massively benefit from seeing the 200 year trend of people moving toward the cities reverse itself - so I like this plan.

Let the suburbs become their own cities more completely, and suburbians move back to the small rural towns. Cultural impact would be positive.


So please Houston, ban meat and cars. Watch your tax base evaporate overnight.

This is why remote work is so important. And it really confuses me that so many on F16 crap all over it.

Remote work is key to reducing the stranglehold big cities have on politics.

Only one reason to go to Austin. If they stop serving meat, there won't be a reason to go back.

it'll be brought in nice and slow. billions printed to make it happen. incentives. certain demographics will have exemptions based on something or another, so they won't complain initially. Like always some folks won't complain until it effects them personally. there will be fines. public shaming. supply chain, racism, terrorism, privilege, constant media.

I live in the sticks because I don't like being around liberal commies. I'd rather they stick to the cities and not end up being my neighbor and screwing up my conservative county with their idiotic voting tendencies.

Sure keep your head and the sand.

Or you could wake up and see that if the left liberal cities continue to grow more powerful everything you like about living in a rural area will be eliminated or destroyed. And instead realize that the more people fleeing urban centers to more rural states (people who lean conservative) could ultimately shift the electoral balance in the favor of the Republican Party.

But hey shortsighted thinking works too.

You're not wrong, and not even in general. That could happen to anyone attempting to take a particular piece of meat away from me. You could get shot trying to touch my burger.

Incrementalism. It's how the Left (DemocRats primarily) and their complacent counterpart RINOs on the " other side" got our country into its current precarious state.

Scumbags.

An alternate viewpoint would be that work from home will be another method for intrusion into your home.

It is quite clear that the progressives can dictate what happens in your workplace. If you make your workplace your home, you invite them them in like vampires.

If you don't think this would happen, you are naive. Don't think that they will go quietly into the night while their workplace domination dwindles.

It might work out just fine because the only people left in those cities won't be able to afford meat, dairy, or private vehicles anyway.

This is just some whack job agenda that leftist whack jobs in city power wrangled their city to agree to. It's beyond embarrassingly unrealistic.

Why are the prisons not already serving "non-meat meat" or fake meat - whatever it's called - to inmates?

Or would this be treated as "Cruel and unusual punishment"?

So the left has less than six and a half years to devise a plan to eliminate fast food, food trucks, convenience store kitchens, and mexican restaurants. Interesting.

There are two particular demographics that make up a very large chunk of the dem voting base. They also happen to be the two most obese demographics in the country. So good luck with that.


Just had a thought. The black market for meat products would sky rocket. As a rancher this idea intrigues me.

Never underestimate the left's ability to get stupid stuff done.

Yep. They state it themselves right there in their response:

Quote:

AFP quotes a paragraph from the original "The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5C World" report, which reads, "This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in C40 cities; rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points that cities, and other actors, can reflect on when considering different emission-reduction alternatives and long-term urban visions."
It doesn't advocate for it, but they are going to soften you up and then the next version it will say mandates.
