The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on global governments to agree to new green agenda goals that will significantly reduce the number of cars that are privately owned by the public.<\/p>\n

The WEF is pushing for a staggering 75 percent reduction in the private ownership of cars, including electric vehicles, by 2050.<\/p>\n

Klaus Schwab\u2019s globalist organization argues that most of the world\u2019s population will be \u201curban\u201d by 2050 and the public won\u2019t be able to justify the need for a private car or the use of commercial air travel.<\/p>\n

The WEF\u2019s latest demand was exposed in a new report<\/a> from the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

The WSJ found the goal buried in a WEF briefing paper<\/a>\u00a0released last month called \u201cThe Urban Mobility Scorecard Tool: Benchmarking the Transition to Sustainable Urban Mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n

It points out that more than two-thirds of the world\u2019s population will be urban by 2050 and suggests people won\u2019t need to leave their local areas.<\/p>\n

To meet the radical climate goals of the United Nations, the WEF, and the Paris Agreement, the report states that private vehicle ownership must be drastically reduced.<\/p>\n

Instead, the public must shift to \u201cpublic transport and shared mobility,\u201d the report insists.<\/p>\n

To comply with the WEF\u2019s green agenda goals, governments will need to unite to \u201creduce vehicles from a potential 2.1 billion to 0.5 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n

That target is a radical drop with fewer than 30 years to do it.<\/p>\n

However, the WEF argues that its plan \u201ccould slash emissions from passenger vehicles by 80% compared to a business-as-usual scenario\u2014reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by 3.9 billion tons a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

People prefer owning cars because it gives them unparalleled mobility.<\/p>\n

Most of the vehicles on the roads today are powered by fossil fuels because they offer better performance and value<\/p>\n

If mass transit offered equal or better performance, and was competitively priced without heavy taxpayer subsidies, more people would choose it.<\/p>\n

For some, however, such as those in rural communities, public transport or \u201cshared mobility\u201d are simply not options.<\/p>\n

The WEF goals will require a vast project in central planning at an untold cost.<\/p>\n

As the WSJ notes, the WEF and its allies never target private jet<\/a> and helicopter travel<\/a>, or yacht use<\/a> among the wealthy elite.<\/p>\n

Why not set an example by banning travel by private jet to WEF gatherings?<\/p>\n

Private jets have a \u201ccarbon footprint\u201d that\u2019s far greater than individual cars.<\/p>\n

If this were put up for debate by the WEF, we might even get a more realistic discussion on costs versus benefits.<\/p>\n

This double standard is often paraded among green agenda globalists, however.<\/p>\n

Democrat President Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cclimate czar\u201d John Kerry is a prime example of elitist eco-hypocrisy, for example.<\/p>\n

Billionaire Kerry, whose family owns a private jet company<\/a>, frequently uses the luxury carbon-spewing planes to travel around the world and lecture the public on reducing their quality of life<\/a> to \u201csave the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerry is now also one of the leading advocates in pushing the WEF\u2019s war against farmers.<\/p>\n

The WEF is leading the charge to slash the global farming industry<\/a> to reduce \u201ccarbon emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Slay News recently reported<\/a>, Kerry recently called for farmers to stop growing food in order to meet the WEF\u2019s radical \u201cnet zero\u201d goals for lowering \u201cemissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerry issued the warning during a green agenda conference<\/a>\u00a0in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

During the Department of Agriculture\u2019s (USDA) AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry told the audience that \u201cwe can\u2019t get to net zero, we won\u2019t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerry warned attendees that his and other world leaders\u2019 \u201clives depend\u201d on farmers ceasing their operations.<\/p>\n

Stopping farmers from growing food will lower agriculture \u201cemissions,\u201d Kerry insists.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitigating methane is the fastest way to reduce warming in the short term,\u201d Kerry claimed as he took aim at livestock farmers.<\/p>\n

He continued by noting that he does not even call it climate change anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not change; it\u2019s a crisis,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
