These 14 American Cities Have A ‘Target' Of Banning Meat, Dairy, And Private Vehicles By 2030

2023-08-20

[Federalist] If C40 Cities’ climate aims are carried out, people will die.

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 1.5°C 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.

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 1.5°C 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.”

In 2020, the World Economic Forum (which promotes C40 Cities on its website) introduced “The Great Reset,” which seeks to use the Covid-19 pandemic as a point from which to launch a global reset of society to supposedly combat climate change. This reset, however, has far more to do with social control than it does with the climate. If globalist leaders truly cared about the environment, they wouldn’t be chartering private jets or owning massive, energy-consuming mansions on the coast in California, which, by climate fanatics’ own calculation, will soon be underwater.

#13 Climate Leadership Group

A misnomer. Get a list of these people and you'll find the ones that will never live in those cities. They'll be in elitist towns.

#12 Wow! 14 American ghost towns by 2030!

#11 Bug based bratwurst at the Bears tailgater served from the back of Bill’s gift cart. Packers fans will be laughing.

#10 I imagine consumption of 'long pig' will sharply increase in these wonderfully green and woke cities.

#9 No - those are cakes. Not to worry, we'll be eating cake as well.

#7 /\ But we still have the biscuits, right ?

#6 I think cities will have lots of consumable goods issues before long, just not to appease the green gods.

#5 So, basically, the plan is to stop delivering the few services that these places currently supply. I mean, they've already stopped with safety, security, and ease of daily life.
This'll go well.

#4 Don't worry. What have they fixed so far. Nothing. The country is being torn down. Spend money and fail. I have never seen in the open such gross incompetence. They will admit to nothing of failures.

#3 No meat, no dairy,...isn't that a food desert?

#2 OTOH, all the fentanyl, heroin, tranq, crack and dope you could ever want.

#1 Don't worry. All the Mexicans these very people are allowing to pour across the border and into those sanctuary cities will not allow them to regulate their enchiladas and low riders.
