‘Have you checked your Personal Carbon Allowance allotment lately?
No, really.
Discussions floated around within various “academic” journals expressing the need for a “Personal Carbon Allowance,” or PCA. Some argue that PCAs are the ultimate means of battling climate control.
How is a Personal Carbon Allowance to be used in climate control?
Well, each individual on the planet has a set number of Personal Carbon Allowances they may use per day. Once they have met that threshold, force is used to keep them from going any further.
So, for example, let’s say you are permitted 10 Personal Carbon Allowance each day as an American. The rest of the world gets 20, but, hey, such is the new world. Think this is just tongue in cheek? Nope. Giving some countries fewer PCAs than others has already been discussed. How do average Americans tend to fare with international treaties?
What if you drive too far to visit your elderly mom, heat your house too hot in the wintertime, or use up too much healthcare and bypass your daily limit?
Authorities would “do something.”
Possibly impose a hefty fine, or specialized thugs would show up to your house to arrest you. Whatever the “something” is, authorities will force you to bend to their will.
How is it determined how much Personal Carbon Allowance somebody has burned through already?
Well, it starts with the financial system. And, with the new DO Black credit card, we’ve just taken a massive step towards Personal Carbon Allowance becoming easier to implement. In Sweden, where the crime rate is through the roof, and people insert microchips into their hands, the decision is that “carbon cost” be attributed to daily life goods. This decision has resulted in the creation of the Carbon Calculator.
Utilizing the Aland Index, Carbon Calculator allows patrons to see the daily carbon footprint they’re leaving on the planet. Let’s say you go to your local coffee shop and buy a latte. That may cost you 1 PCA. Then you go to the gas station and fill up your truck. That’s 6 PCA. By the time you’ve finished your run to the bank, grocery store, and post office, you’re well over your 10 PCA daily limit.
And so, your credit card shuts down
At least, that’s one option available with the new DO Black. Two different cards are available to the public (in Sweden alone, at the moment); the shut-off card and a more “educational” card that only alerts patrons about what their spending habits are doing to the environment.
Personal Carbon Allowance allotments are not as far away as you might think.
Coming soon to a Great Reset near you…
It doesn’t appear as if the rest of the world will have to wait long for this technology. According to Mastercard, they have integrated the Carbon Calculator across their global network. Mastercard Chief Digital Officer Jorn Lambert seems to give further proof we will see this technology soon by saying,
“Companies, consumers, and communities must work together to make the significant changes needed to effectively address climate change.”
“New research on sustainability, commissioned by Mastercard, reveals a marked increase in consumer passion for the environment as a result of COVID-19. More than half of those surveyed across the world (54%) see reducing their carbon footprint as more important now than pre-pandemic.”
Lambert’s words seem to mesh perfectly with Klaus Schwabb’s statement: “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”
Mastercard further claims 85% of those they’ve surveyed say they’re willing to fight on a personal level against climate change.
Several big-name major players favor the DO Black Credit Card
For starters, the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded by Klaus Schwabb. According to the WEF:
“While many of us are aware that we need to reduce our carbon footprint, advice on doing so can seem nebulous, and keeping a tab is difficult. DO monitors and cuts off spending when we hit our carbon max.”
The UN has also jumped at the opportunity to encourage the use of these new types of technology. Manager of the Global Climate Action at the UN Climate Change secretariat Niclas Svenningsen said:
“What’s really key here is the availability of information. One certainly can’t expect people to change their behaviors and take climate action if they do not know what their climate footprint is or what their consumption represents. With this data now easily accessible thanks to the partners’ excellent work, citizens are empowered to make smart decisions and act responsibly, and it can provoke a significant cultural shift around climate action.”
How long will it be before ALL cards adopt the PCA measures?
Combine the Carbon Calculator and the DO Black Card with the UBI, a cashless society, and social credit system and we will see the largest, most effective police state ever known to man. A society where any criticism or resistance of the government will result in an immediate shut down of credits and the trespasser being frozen entirely out of society.
Those not willing to comply with these climate actions are acting “irresponsibly” is likely to be echoed even more in the future. And for how long will such a measure remain voluntary? At what point will we see more and more cards adopting these measures? Will governments rule by decree that ALL must take these measures? Could some form of climate emergency be issued, with new lockdowns, new payment methods, and new regulations?
If you thought the unrest created over vaccine mandates for public health was something – wait until the future of the planet is put on the line with Climate Enforcement!’https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5076
The climate scammers are out in full force now that Leftist Sleepy Joe is at the helm. The world according to Bishop Ussher was only a little over 1600 years from the original creation when man had gotten so wicked that God sent a deluge upon the world and ONLY EIGHT PEOPLE SURVIVED. It wasn’t carbon that caused the flood but the sinfulness of man but as history shows man doesn’t learn much from history.
Now, today, it isn’t the sinfulness of mankind that causes politicians to lose sleep but its too MUCH CARBON!
It was only at midday Friday The Spectator Australia asked Will Australia face carbon tariffs under the Biden regime? By that evening, the Prime Minister had pre-empted any trade war with an immediate surrender or, as his spin on the front page of The Weekend Australian put it, declaring that the “Politics of carbon has ended“.
The Biden Administration’s flurry of energy and carbon emission-related measures during its first day have had an immediate effect on Australian policy, with Scott Morrison declaring that political debate about reaching a carbon-neutral future is over.
Overturning Trump’s policies, Biden has recommitted the United States to the Paris Climate Accord, rescinded approvals for leases to explore for oil and gas on public lands and for a major oil pipeline — with the loss of thousands of jobs in his own country and Canada — and reimplemented tight vehicle emission controls.
It would not have been lost on Australian bureaucrats that Biden has previously discussed a carbon tax and that he has selected as Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, who has been working with the bipartisan Climate Leadership Council on carbon emission policies.
Yellen’s aim is for policies that would not leave US businesses vulnerable to competition from nations that are not incurring the costs of decarbonising their economies. Her proposal is for “carbon customs unions” that are to be deemed compliant with World Trade Organization rules. This is similar to EU thinking. The policy would impose punitive carbon tariffs on imports from countries judged to have inadequate emission reduction policies and perhaps offer exporters GST-type rebates on the emission-restraining costs they incur.
Yellen’s approach is consistent with views of Obama officials that have been appointed to key positions in the Biden Administration. Among these is former Environment Protection Agency (EPA) head, Gina McCarthy as National Climate Adviser and John Kerry as the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. Biden has also appointed other climate change warriors to head powerful agencies, including the new the EPA head, Michael Regan and Green New Deal proponent Deb Haarland as Secretary of the Interior.
Four years ago, in my book Climate Change: Treaties and Policies in the Trump Era, I noted President Trump’s rejection of doom-laden climate prognoses and his determination to avoid measures that would place the US at a commercial disadvantage to other countries. That meant rejecting the Paris Climate Accord with its hefty decarbonisation costs. Fast-growing developing countries: China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia had also rejected emission restraints and once the US did so, this left only the EU almost alone among the major emitters. This would cause the Paris Accord to collapse, bringing a different end to the climate wars than the one now foreshadowed.
Trump’s low-cost energy policies contributed to a resurgence of the US economy, where high growth was accompanied by record-low unemployment rates and the US becoming, for the first time in 60 years, a net exporter of oil and gas. In ploughing an alternative field, the Biden team, like the EU, realises that decarbonisation must be multilateral to ensure acceptable national economic harm.
Developing countries might obtain a respite from US (and EU) attempts to prevent an erosion of their competitiveness through tariffs. But this would be more difficult for Australia to achieve, notwithstanding that, in terms of actual decarbonisation costs incurred, Australia has spent twice as much per capita as the US and EU. Aside from the money wasted on high-cost wind and solar, the 20 per cent share of electricity supply that renewable energy subsidies have brought about has resulted in an unreliable supply. Indicative of this is that last year, because subsidised renewables supply energy when it is not needed, the electricity market actually saw negative prices for almost four per cent of the time. Such negative prices place further pressure on the economics of those electricity suppliers that are dependent on commercial interactions for their revenues and brings a snowball effect in undermining reliability.
In seeking a way out of the impasse created by changed US policies, Morrison says he wants Australia to achieve carbon neutrality by adopting yet to be discovered technology innovations. In this, he finds himself in the camp of NSW Energy Minister Matt Kean, the standard-bearer for the anti-fossil fuel lobby, who has announced “hydrogen will power the future”.
The Prime Minister has previously rebuked Kean but the best path forward may be to proclaim Australia’s green credentials in having funded the destruction of its previously reliable electricity supply industry and to announce a 2050 net-zero commitment. Achieving that goal should be accompanied by gradually eliminating subsidies and be made contingent on the alchemy of turning hydrogen into energy or other unlikely breakthroughs.
Obtaining EU/US acceptance of such an approach as policy-compliant will be among the most important policy challenges Australia faces in navigation the shoals emerging from the Biden victory. ‘ https://spectator.com.au/2021/01/morrison-runs-up-the-white-flag-on-carbon/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MDS%20%2020210126%20%20GK&utm_content=MDS%20%2020210126%20%20GK+CID_b5eae7b0b1d2707e7235df94a645b691&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Australia&utm_term=ScoMo%20runs%20up%20the%20white%20flag%20on%20carbon
Will the new Carbon Tax pay the bills Labor has accumulated? Whatyareckon?
While I set in my home office all rugged up just to keep warm on this rather cool Australian winter’s day the Prime Minister of Australia has arrived back home from Rio as a supposed hero of the planet. As I sit here bundled up like an Eskimo Australia is less than one week out from “…the carbon tax starting” and the UN’s head man complimented Gillard saying “…Australia was ‘leading by example’ in addressing climate change.” Yes, Gillard and cronies are leading the way but where is it taking Australia? It certainly will not lead to lower prices!
Yes, the first of July Gillard’s carbon tax which she said her government would not implement takes effect. Gillard and her cronies are certainly leading the way by flitting about the world creating more carbon footprint than the average citizen does in a lifetime.
Hopefully in 2013 Gillard and company will be leading the way out the door to never return! Whatyareckon?
