Eco-fascists reveal their true colours.

“Cancun climate change summit: scientists call for rationing in developed world”

In one paper Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years.”

…

This could mean a limit on electricity so people are forced to turn the heating down, turn off the lights and replace old electrical goods like huge fridges with more efficient models. Food that has travelled from abroad may be limited and goods that require a lot of energy to manufacture.

So, now you know.

  1. I couldn’t agree more.

    I think that it is ridiculous how you lot take our limited resources for granted.

    Us guys have it tough enough as it is without these clever sods knicking our resources!

  2. Makes sense to me, Bravo. We are completely profligate with the natural resources of the planet, but it has nothing to do with climate change though.

  4. I don’t need to, Bravo. The cost of electricity and gas at the moment is astronomical here, so one naturally limits the use, but not at the moment. It’s freezing!

  6. The eco fascists can try to manipulate all they like, at the end of the day it always becomes the survival of the fittest. All the do-gooding in the world only prolongs the agony for the failures.
    If you cannot grow your own food and have the ingenuity to keep yourself warm and watered etc, you do not deserve to survive!

    And in due course, you and yours won’t. Be they black, white, brown or yellow.
    I suspect an Afghan would last a damn sight longer than the average Britisher, they seem tosurvive on a rock a day or such.
    Rationing my arse!

  7. Oi! ‘Ere’s a radical proposal to save the planet. Stop all the eco-mentalists flying fron Newcastle to Bali to Newcastle to Copenhagen to Newcastle to Cancun and back preaching all the time how all the rest of us have to accept food rationing and power shortages in order to save the planet.

    Professor Kevin Anderson’s Tyndall Centre at Newcastle University, has been awarded £4.5million by EPSRC (whatever TF that is and whence its funding comes) for a five year programme on infrastructure transitions linky thing.

    £4.5 million? For a study into “infrastructure transitions”?

    And that will contribute exactly how much financial benefit to the British economy?

    Do me a favour!´

  8. Having just returned to the U of K to find it brought to a standstill by a fall of global warming, I think it is time for the eco-fascists to find a new excuse to send us back to the Stone Age.

    We don’t knick them: you sell them – we buy ’em! Start using your resources yourself! Any country that relies solely for survival on the sale of its resources and then has to import the goods made from those resources is daft – and I include Australia in countries that do just that.

    Quite apart from the fact that I don’t think that anyone can do anything to ameliorate ‘Climate Change’, whether it be the ‘New Ice Age’ that we were promised in the 60s or the ‘Global Warming’ that we are threatened with now, I do not see how making the ‘richer’ countries reduce their demand for goods will improve the lot of ‘poorer’ countries. If we cut down on what we buy, where will be the market for resources / goods from the poorer countries? This kind of thinking is precisely the same sort mentality that believes that the rich should be taxed until they are poor…

    Do not get me wrong. I see no problems with encouraging people to use energy efficient fridges, etc – and there, probably, is no better way to do that than by price hikes… but do we really want a society where the poor freeze or fry to death? We are already marching down that road – and I don’t like it.

    As to goods that travel from abroad… Well- OK maybe I will have to go without my Mr Kipling’s Bakewell Tarts. I think they were about 60p for 6 in the UK. At over £3.00 for 6 here, I reckon that I’m probably paying well over the ‘ecological’ price for them and, if I’m daft enough to pay that price, why should they be taken off my shopping list? At least I’m helping to keep some poor soul in the UK in employment.

    The problem with the eco-fascists / communists is that their thinking is far too simplistic. The world is a global economy, whether we like it or not – and one cannot ‘depress’ one part of that economy and expect the other part to survive let alone thrive.
