“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.

All 9 aboard U.S. Navy plane that overshot runway escape injury, Hawaii official says
If it was 9, why are there 14 people in the photo?
Counting was subcontracted out to Ralph
Because five of them had seen Big Mike naked.
I would suspect some were ground maintenance responsible for the plane.
Stewardess’ and groundcrew
Promotions all around!
Heroes!
The math was done by a woman.
“The environmental crisis is the cornerstone for the New World Order” Maurice strong ( U.N. environmental leader ) was quoted as saying, ” Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
Imagine being that crazy.

Not just to imagine how someone not locked in a dark room in a mental institution can say that … but that so many folks outside the mental institution will actually go along with it …
More likely it will be limited by societal collapse.
The First and Second World Wars were wars designed to kill millions were not successful enough hence the new methods outlined in the Global 2000 Report…The world is populated with too many redundant people who must not be allowed to procreate and consume scarce natural resources…The Committee of 300 .
WWI and WWII were to destroy Germany and usher in the EU. The War on Climate is about destroying USA.
Germany was not really the target of the great war until near the end.
So war is like the farmer clearing out rubbish?
Cutting off and burning “dead” branches of the human family?
Grear analog.
20%-85% = I am so screwed
Will these experts’ standard of living also be reduced by 85%?
If not, how should one apply for expertise status? May one merely assert that one “identifies” as an expert, as one may assert that one is in fact the opposite of one’s birth sex?
“I identify as Bill Gates, I will need a luxury suite, some ringdings and a DVD of the ORIGINAL Mickey Mouse Club. Annette gives me good chub.”
I have my ” carbon passport” I believe in my pants pocket…wait a minute…ugh, ahh….here it is 🖕.
What’s the climate troll up to now?….
Greta Thunberg calls on world to ‘crush Zionism’
Video of controversial young climate activist shows her shouting anti-Israel chants in pro-Palestinian protest sparking outrage online
https://www.ynetnews.com/culture/article/rk1t9weba
Oops.
This time she went the wrong way on a one way street. Dumb ass bitch is gonna get her dumbshit self kilt.
Not to worry.
Neo will save Zion.
They are trying to create chaos and place Israel aware right wing folks in line with college fruitcake liberals. I think everyone hates Israel.
Hmmm? Greta Thunberg is “anti zionist”. Some on TBP need to reevaluate with whom they associate themselves.
In Modern Hebrew, golem is used to mean “dumb” or “helpless”, or a pupa. Similarly, it is often used today as a metaphor for a mindless lunk or entity that serves a man under controlled conditions, but is hostile to him under other conditions.
She would also make an excellent Ren Hoek.
Europe Is Getting Record Amounts of Russian Gas Through TurkStream. So Who Keeps Trying to Blow It Up?
The TurkStream pipeline, which brings natural gas from Russia to Türkiye across the Black Sea and then into southeastern Europe, was controversial in certain quarters of the West ever since it was conceived.
Now the flow of natural gas to Europe from Russia via Türkiye is reaching all-time highs. TurkStream has a capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year, roughly half of which stays in Türkiye, and the rest continues on to the Balkans and Central Europe. Serbia and Hungary are the primary European consumers. According to S&P Global, supplies via TurkStream into Southeast Europe rose strongly in July, reaching a record monthly high.
As the gas flowing through the pipeline increases so do the attempted attacks…
Putin and Erdogan have often discussed expanding Türkiye’s role as an energy hub, and while reports show disagreements remain, that also means Ankara and Moscow are continuing to iron out the details while working towards an agreement.
It also enrages the neocons. I think that Washington’s position can accurately be summed up by the following pieces. One is from the Atlantic Council: “Türkiye can become an energy hub—but not by going all-in on Russian gas.” The thinly-veiled threat concludes with the following:
The other is Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute who writes that “Biden should kill TurkStream to promote transatlantic energy security.” And the transatlantic part of that energy security is of course the ultimate goal for Washington.
wait, we’ve been working together this whole time?!
t. guy who just started paying attention
I seem to remember sometime in the late 70’s we sent tons of tons of corn to Russia because they were fucking STARVING. Then we FORGAVE THAT DEBT entirely.
How much did you say we were paying Russia for fertilizer again? Seems to me that one stinking penny would be too much under the circumstances.
By controlling carbon, they control every aspect of life.
B I N G O … so … a bunch of sociopaths has decided to push for the extinction of the First World by having it over run by the third world … and, then, as the need arises, they will get rid of as much of the third worlders as they don’t need to be their slaves.
It’s been a long time coming … and, even during the FauciFlu, you could see the agenda being pushed by studying the jab statistics of the 3d world nations — all of africa, most of SE asia, mexico on south … most of those countries have been pretty much spared the full force of the jabs (africa as a continent has a jab rate of about 3%) …
They’re meant to survive — for now …
They don’t control SHIT…least of all themselves. And they never will. Just knowing they lose makes me feel a little better.
I would make dinner for Bill Gates if he came by the house.
Probably beef with lots of fat in it. Mmmm.
Desert would be a marie calendars coconut creme pie.
The “Experts” standard of living will also be reduced by 85%, RIGHT?
Riiiiiight. Not that restricting travel should be accepted, but it would be funny to see most leftards denied “expert” status. In my blue population bubble, the same people who drive Teslas and think using an electric lawnmower changes the weather are the one who jet off to Costa Rica as eco-tourists. If you told them their one flight generated more CO2 than they could “save” from two lifetimes of electric mowing, they probably wouldn’t believe you, but even if they did, they wouldn’t stop flying whenever they want to.
But the billionaires club and their minions are exempt of course which is proof it’s all bullshit.
the fart tax will bankrupt me
The far tax is gonna get me.
That’s how New Zealand has proposed to kill its sheep industry … by a fart tax …
When I see the LEADERS reduce their living standards by 85% then I’ll believe. No need to worry about their ruling standards since it is down by that same number in respect to morals. Till then it’s YOUR obligation to IGNORE them at their own peril. 😉
Reduce your standard of living by over 85%. Essentially transform the US to the level of a third world country. There you go, Equity.
This is exactly what the NWO is all about! Obama’s in-your-face ‘fundamental transformation.’ The Elites, of course, are exempt from their own mandates. Tucker Carlson wrote an excellent book on the subject: Ship Of Fools — How A Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America To The Brink Of Revolution (Free Press, 2018)
We’re at the point in time where whenever we hear anyone talking about “climate controls”, we should say that the people behind his should all be lined up against a wall and shot. And this should be said in public. I already do it and it is so fun to watch Demmies shit their britches.
So … just like the Wall Street shylocks invented ‘carbon credits’ to fleece stupid folks — they’ll invent a variant of it to enable those with money to keep on pushing their personal carbon limits to the highest limits.
I mean … do you really imagine the likes of the Davos Crowd and the Bilderberg Group and the rest of the ‘secret-none-more-secret’ societies and their members sitting at home?
I don’t have a carbon credit passport. And I don’t see the need to ever get one.
Country folk are a bit different from City folk that way.
Bless your heart.
I need to buy an old diesel driven truck to do all my traveling in. You know, one that SMOKES a lot and is really loud.
They are the culture of LESS.
I left my purse and phone hanging in a toilet stall in a restaurant last evening.
A blessing.
Yes…cards are canx and i.d. replacement will be a pain, but life without the tracker seems a viable option.
Will killing my fellow carbon abusers increase my allowance? It seems only fair, right? Balance is maintained. How many credits would I net by shooting, say…Algore? Or Soros?
let me guess: but NOT their travel.
