Not for them, of course. They’ll continue to burn lots of oil as they scoot around the world to climate meetings. This only applies to you peasants (via Climate Depot and Watts Up With That?)
Russia crisis spurs push to cut oil use
The International Energy Agency just unveiled ideas for quickly cutting oil demand at a time when Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine could bring substantial loss of Russian barrels from global markets.
Why it matters: The 10-point plan comes amid IEA warnings that the war could become the biggest supply crisis in decades as countries look to isolate Russia.
It’s part of a wider reckoning in Europe — Russia’s largest market — and elsewhere over how to curb reliance on Russia while keeping markets supplied and avoiding even greater economic shocks.
Zoom in: The plan says that “immediate actions” in advanced economies could reduce global oil demand by about 2.7 million barrels per day within four months.
The US uses almost 20 million a day itself. What does 2.7 million actually mean for the globe? And the ideas?
Reducing highway speed limits by about 6 miles per hour; more working from home; street changes to encourage walking and cycling; car-free Sundays in cities and restrictions on other days; cutting transit fares; policies that encourage more carpooling; cutting business air travel; and more.
They also want to reduce your air travel, forcing you onto trains and buses. When do the elites do this? And how is this accomplished?
“Governments have all the necessary tools at their disposal to put oil demand into decline in the coming years, which would support efforts to both strengthen energy security and achieve vital climate goals,” it states.
That’s right, Government elites forcing this down your throats. Marc Morano write
“COVID 2.0 has arrived?! The 2022 International Energy Agency’s (IEA) report sounds an awful lot like an energy version of COVID lockdowns. Instead of opening America back up for domestic energy production, we are told to suffer and do with less and are prescribed the same failed lockdown-style policies we endured for COVID. It is odd how COVID ‘solutions’ also allegedly helped the climate and now the same solutions are being touted to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As a bonus, IEA tells us these measures will also help ‘achieve vital climate goals.’ Let’s simplify this: The proposed ‘solutions’ to climate change, COVID, and now the Russian war are all exactly the same — hammer the poor and middle class with more restrictions on travel, less freedom, and even more surrendering of power to unelected government regulators.
This is what I’ve been saying since 2005: the entire climate crisis scam is simply a way to force their authoritarian policies down our throat, softening it as a way to “benefit” the peasants. It’s force politics. It’s Progressivism, ie, Nice Fascism. They aren’t nice, this is for your own good.
