Coming Soon: Your Travel Will Be Restricted By Personal Carbon Allowances
“Experts suggest” your standard of living be reduced by over 85%
A
report on the future of travel and tourism, co-authored by a travel
agency called Intrepid Travel and The Future Labs Institute, posits a
future deeply impacted by climate change and restrictions on tourist
travel to combat it.
“A Sustainable Future for Travel”, warns of “travel extinction”, where some areas suffer such radical climate change that all tourism there ceases, and “personal carbon allowances” that will restrict how often one is permitted travel.
From the report (pardon the length, emphasis added):
“Carbon Passports
A personal carbon emissions limit will become the new normal as policy and people’s values drive an era of great change.
As demonstrated by a worldwide tourism boom, the frequency at which we can fly is once again seemingly unlimited.
Conscience and budgets permitting, we feel free to hop on planes from one place to the next. But this will change. ‘On
our current trajectory, we can expect a pushback against the frequency
with which individuals can travel, with carbon passports set to change
the tourism landscape,’ says Raymond [Martin Raymond, Future Laboratories co-founder]
Personal carbon allowances could help curb carbon emissions and lower travel’s overall footprint.
These allowances will manifest as passports that force people to ration their carbon in line with the global carbon budget, which is 750bn tonnes until 2050.
By 2040, we can expect to see limitations imposed on the amount of travel that is permitted each year.
Experts suggest that individuals should currently limit their carbon emissions to 2.3 tonnes each year –
the equivalent of taking a round-trip from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, the average carbon footprint in the US is
16 tonnes per person per year, 15 tonnes in Australia and 11.7 tonnes
in the UK. This is in stark contrast to where we may find ourselves in
the future, with 2040’s travellers forced to forgo the horizon-expanding
experiences so readily embraced by today’s tourists”
For
all practical purposes, your carbon emissions will line up with your
energy usage, give or take a relatively narrow band of efficiencies
(unless we have some kind of clean energy breakthrough, and the only
viable one we have, nuclear, is not considered clean energy by the
climate cult).
Said differently: Your standard of living is your energy usage. Reducing a society’s energy usage is the same as reducing its living standards.
With this in mind, let’s look at the numbers cited by the Sustainable Future for Travel report:
“Experts suggest that individuals should currently limit their carbon emissions to 2.3 tonnes each year.”
The
table below lays out exactly how much the standard of living for the
residents of each country will have to be reduced in order to meet the
recommended carbon quota set by unelected experts. This is the level of
“degrowth” it will take to satisfy the objectives of climate alarmists
relying on unfalsifiable premises, arbitrary computer models, and who
are deliberately ignoring and suppressing countervailing data.
How serious are our leaders and policymakers about reducing the citizenry’s living standards by upwards of 85%?
Here
is Canada’s Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, rather blithely
confirming that the government will limit natural gas usage in order to
fight climate change:
Reporter: There will be limitations on how much natural gas you can use in the winter?
Guilbeault: Yes, absolutely, that’s what fighting climate change looks like.

Why are we talking about carbon passports in the section on Central Bank Digital Currencies?
(Today’s post is an excerpt from the “Eye on Evilcoin” section of this month’s Bitcoin Capitalist macro overview).
Because we think CBDCs will invariably launch as, or morph into, personal carbon footprint quotas.
Right
now, what we call “the fiat money system” uses debt for money. That’s
no longer sustainable, so what we’re expecting is an attempt to switch
what we loosely identify as “money”, away from symbolic tokens backed by
debt, to social credit scores, backed by personal carbon footprint quotas.
Expanding on this theme, probably, is another report from Future Labs on “Neo-Collectivism”,
which may give us a hint at how the policymakers of late stage
globalism will seek to preempt free markets and universal human rights
with a “we’re all in this together” retread of what is essentially,
communism:
“Society is facing a mass re-organisation. United by values of empathy and community, consumers are shunning individualism in favour of alliances that are decentralising industries and redistributing power at scale”
LS:N
Global and Future Laboratories seem like a wannabe World Economic
Forum. Lots of pronouns on the “Team” page, and leaning heavily into
that euphemistic WEF-speak that makes technocratic communism sound
benign and fashionable.
I ended up shelling out £265 to buy the
Neo-Collectivist Megatrend report (a 40 page PDF) and what I found in
there was along the lines of what one might expect, but it was alarming
all the same.
In the next post to this one, we’ll dive into it and
find out just how the “Zalpha Generation” is poised to usher us into an
era of Systemic Endemic Socialism.

Experts Declare Experimental Cancer Vaccine Based On mRNA Technology Is ‘Safe and Effective’
A new cancer vaccine based on Covid mRNA vaccine technology
which has yet to be clinically tested has already been declared “safe
and effective” by the British government.
Known as ‘LungVax’,
the new vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford, the
Francis Crick Institute and University College London, and is expected
to be the first of a huge range of new cancer vaccinations available in
the near future.
Research scientists developing the ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer
vaccine claim it will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of
cases by training the immune system to locate and attack early signs of
disease.
Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red
flag’ proteins called neoantigens. The LungVax vaccine will carry a strand of DNA which trains the immune system to recognize these neoantigens on abnormal lung cells.
It will then instruct the immune system to destroy these cells and stop lung cancer.
Professor Tim Elliot, lead researcher at the University of Oxford, said: ‘Cancer
is a disease of our own bodies and it’s hard for the immune system to
distinguish between what’s normal and what’s cancer.
‘Getting the immune system to recognize and attack cancer is one of the biggest challenges in cancer research today.”
Elliot admitted the new vaccine is based on technology used to create the Covid vaccine.
‘This research could deliver an off-the-shelf vaccine based on
Oxford’s vaccine technology, which proved itself in the Covid pandemic.
Remarkably, given the disastrous health consequences for those
vaccinated with the experimental Covid vaccines, Eilliot praised the
mRNA roll out as a success.
‘If we can replicate the kind of success seen in trials during
the pandemic, we could save the lives of tens of thousands of people
every year in the UK alone.’
Researchers have been granted up to £1.7 million from Cancer Research UK and the CRIS Cancer Foundation.
The team will receive funding for the study over the next 2 years to
support lab research and initial manufacturing of 3,000 doses of the
vaccine at the Oxford Clinical BioManufacturing Facility.
If successful, the vaccine will move straight into a clinical trials,
involving those at biggest risk of disease, such as current and former
smokers who currently qualify for targeted lung health checks in some
parts of the UK.
Elon Musk’s X must be “shut down” by government because dangerous “conspiracy theories” are spreading on the social media platform, according to British TV host Jeremy Vine.
“If there any argument to say, and this will sound crazy, but
China does it, we’ve got to now take control of Twitter and shut it down
for the time being,” said Vine.
Vine made the comments earlier this week during a heated debate
regarding speculation surrounding the health and whereabouts of Kate
Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Boomers have become obsessed with speculating that Middleton has died or is severely unwell and that the Royal Family is hiding it because she hasn’t been seen in months after an operation.
The manipulation of a series of photo of Middleton and her children also only served to fuel the rumors, as some sources close to the princess claimed she had been murdered by the royal family.
However, instead of dismissing the whole issue for what it is, a pointless distraction that will disappear once Middleton makes a public appearance around Easter, Vine called for draconian measures.
Modernity report:
Ah yes, the Communist dictatorship of China, which shuts down the Internet to clamp down on dissent and enhance its repression of undesirables.
That’s definitely who we should be mimicking, Jeremy.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, Vine’s show was a platform for some of the most vulgar, authoritarian drivel imaginable.
One show asked if children who are unvaccinated should be banned from schools or made to wear special badges.
Another asked, “Is it time to ban the unvaccinated from traveling?”
Vine has made a name for himself as being a dutiful amplifier of regime messaging, while his annoying side hobby of biking around London looking to film confrontations with motorists has also angered many.
