Major British Newspaper Advocates Bringing Back Rationing to Fight Global Warming

You want to stop global warming? Get rationing started like the British did in World War 2! At the very least, this is the idea. “one of Britain’s oldest and most influential newspapers” It is encouraging.

British publication The Times One of the most absurd pieces of climate change babble was found in a February 20th issue. Story headlined: “How to fix global warming? Bring back rationing, say scientists.” The first sentence of this piece was filled with brain-melting nonsense. “Second World War-style rationing of petrol, household energy and meat could help to fight climate change, British scientists have recommended.”

Cited newspaper “researchers” – whom it does not name until the end of the article – from the University of Leeds who published climate propaganda disguised as Analysis The journal Ethics, Policy & Environment The Times Cite the study. It also suggested that citizens should be able to vote. “carbon allowance” Making a “scarcity of fossil fuels.”

Evidently, the elite Times is itching for a déjà vu to satisfy the extremism of woke climate idealists. The Times There are currently an estimated Monday-Saturday readership: 843,766

JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy Comment to MRC Business: “Climate alarm has always been about increasing government control of our lives. Climate is tyranny disguised as necessity.” 

Naturally, you’d be surprised at what The Times Massive government intervention was required to stop the selling. “The researchers argue that, as a first step, governments would need to regulate sectors such as the oil industry, with the importing of fossil fuels ‘banned or restricted’ in certain areas.” In effect, said The Times “[t]his would create a scarcity of fossil fuels, with rationing then introduced to ‘manage the scarcity’, they explain.”

The real so-called “study” Cite by The Times The insanity went one step further: “‘Governments could limit the number of long-haul flights an individual could make in a year or they could limit the amount of petrol one can buy in a month.'”

Uh, what? Is that really a good thing? Statista found that Britain’s dependency on fossil fuels in 2021 remained at a substantial 78.31%, which is a significant increase from the previous year. indicates disaster if the British government starts rationing out fuel.

Apparently, The Times pushed for other nations to adopt this same insane model: “Researchers from Leeds said that rationing would help countries to cut their carbon emissions ‘rapidly and fairly’ even though it was often seen as an ‘unpalatable option.'”

The newspaper even promoted how “[a]n alternative method would be through the ‘modernisation of rationing with carbon cards, like bank cards, to keep track of your carbon allowance rather than ration cards.'”

Milloy stated that “[r]ather than calling for rationing, scientists should be asking why there has been no global warming since 2015 despite about 500 billion tons of emissions.” He continued: “We are told that every emission causes warming, yet there has been none since 2015. So what good would rationing even do?” The suggestion to force people onto an unwanted diet to fight the left’s green boogeyman is about as stupid as when climate change extremists were advocating for “melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot” to stave off so-called global cooling in the 1970s.

Conservatives are under attack. Contact The Times at [email protected] and demand it stop promoting food rationing as a way to fight so-called global warming.
