Isn’t it interesting that virtually every proposal from the Cult of Climastrology ends in either a tax or a Government imposed restriction? Or both? Yet rarely do they propose that Warmists practice what they preach
(The Local DK) Saying that “climate change is an ethical problemâ€, the Danish Council on Ethics (Det Etiske RÃ¥d) has called for a climate tax on red meat.
The council said that Danes have an ethical obligation to minimize their climate impact and that a natural place to start would be lowering their red meat consumption. (snip about UN whining about agriculture and GHG output)
The Council on Ethics said that in order to live up to global environmental standards, Denmark should use a ‘climate tax’ to bring down the nation’s meat consumption. The Council said it debated the issue for six months, focusing on whether it should be left up to consumers to make more climate-friendly choices or if government should push them in the right direction by taxing the food products that have the greatest negative impact.
While the council said that “Danes are ethically obligated to change their eating habits†it ultimately decided that simply leaving it up to consumers to lower their meat consumption “will not be effectiveâ€.
So, taxation and governmental control
“An effective response to climate-damaging foods that will also contribute to raising awareness of climate change must be united, which requires that society sends a clear signal through regulation,†council spokesman Mickey Gjerris said in a press release.
And Warmists get upset when they are called fascists and authoritarians. I can’t imagine why!
