Bummer: California Won’t Meet it’s Climate Goals Unless People Are Forced to Live Like Rats in Warrens
Well, now, this is interesting
California won’t meet its climate change goals without a lot more housing density in its cities
To meet the bold new climate change goals put in place last year, California will work to put millions of electric cars on the road, revolutionize its dairy industry and generate half of all power from solar panels and other renewable sources.
But those efforts will come up short, warn state regulators, without dramatic changes to how Californians live and travel.
I’m shocked that people will be forced to make changes to their lives by Governmental decree
The state has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. To do so, Southern Californians will have to drive nearly 12% less by that date than they did five years ago, cutting their miles on the road every day from 22.8 to 20.2, according a Los Angeles Times estimate based on data from state and regional climate and planning officials.
These driving reductions mean that Californians will have to walk, bike and use mass transit much more frequently than they do now. By 2030, residents will have to travel by foot four times more frequently than they did in 2012, alongside a nine-fold increase in bicycling over the same time, and a substantial boost in bus and rail ridership, climate officials say.
The only way this happens is by the force of government. If all these uber-Warmist Californians refuse to practice what they preach now, force is the only option.
Getting people out of their cars in favor of walking, cycling or riding mass transit will require the development of new, closely packed housing near jobs and commercial centers at a rate not seen in the United States since at least before World War II, according to a recent study by permit and contractor data analysis website BuildZoom.
So, people will be forced into these high density housing how, exactly? It’s funny how so much of what the Cult of Climstrology pushes revolves around limiting freedom of behavior while forcing people into high density areas where it is easier to control them.
