I told ya. They will take away your car. It doesn't matter how green it is, they are going to take it away. That's what they want to do. That's what they will do, as long as they can.

Then they will take away public transport. For the same reasons.

You don't need a car because you don't *need* to travel.

If you don't need to travel, a bus or a train is as bad as a car or a plane.

Don't expect MPs or BBC environment "journalists" to defend freedom.
Organisations like @CREDS_UK, which produced the "report" are an interesting phenomenon.

They are academic in the sense of being attached to universities and research organisations. But they produce nothing of value to society equivalent to research.
They are more a kind of moral or political police.

They are concerned with the regulation of society. They are not interested in substantive development, to find real solutions to actual problems.

They should be shut down.
This, for e.g. is the foreword of the report -- it's written by Chris Stark, who is the non-Gummer frontman of the Climate Change Comittee.

This shows us that this is not an independent research. It's one part of an undemocratic political establishment doing the work of another.
Forgot the pic...
It's like think-tank, quango, policy-unit, NGO, PR firm, and political party and government departments are all rolled into one nebulous body.

It is completely unaccountable. It is entirely unresponsive to criticism.

It *really* needs to be shut down. All of it.
The *real* reason for them wanting to take away your car...

They are in fact some of the most useless people ever to have walked the surface of this planet.

It's very difficult for such limited people to understand how everyday problems can be overcome.
Hyperbole?

No. Not at all.

Think about all the things that are framed in green terms.

The most simple things in life are problemetised by green 'academics'.

From feeding people to using the toilet, it is the most basic things that preoccupy green 'researchers'.
Their impulse is to shut down all that is too much for them to contemplate: industrial agriculture, mass transport, advanced capitalism.

All that is beyond them is 'unsustainable'. *They* can't balance the equation. But why should we take 'sustainability' at face value
