IMF says lockdowns and restrictions even more severe than COVID are now needed to avoid a “climate disaster”

by Ethan Huff, Natural News

The only way to prevent a "climate disaster" from unfolding is for the governments of the world to impose lockdowns and other restrictions on humanity that dwarf those unleashed during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic."

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) claims that economy-crushing measures resulting in energy and food shortages, job losses and a total collapse of Western civilization are necessary to stop climate change.

What happened during COVID was just a test run for much worse "climate lockdowns" to come, according to the IMF. Scheduled disruptions that stop ordinary people, but not the elite, from living their lives are necessary to keep planetary temperatures stable, we are told.

"Under a 'climate lockdown,' governments would limit private vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling," explained Mariana Mazzucato, an "agenda contributor" at the World Economic Forum (WEF)

Italian PM Meloni calls for balanced green transition, rejects economic sacrifices in the name of ideology

Remix News

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has reaffirmed her commitment to pursuing an environmentally friendly energy transition that does not come at the expense of economic development and industrial productivity.

In a video message to the Sustainable Intermodal Logistics Association (ALIS), the Italian premier emphasized the need for “technological neutrality” and called for a reevaluation of European regulations that could cripple key industries, particularly the automotive sector.

Meloni’s message resonated with the audience of logistics and transportation professionals, framing her government’s approach as a pragmatic alternative to what she described as the “ideological rigidity” of current European environmental policies. “In a desert, there is nothing green,” Meloni stated, underscoring the risks of undermining economic growth in the name of pursuing the green agenda.

U.K. Government Pours Big Sums into Latest UN Crackdown on Climate Dissent

Daily Sceptic

The British Government is one of the main financial backers of a new international campaign designed to suppress online climate science scepticism ahead of next year’s ‘make-or-break’ COP30 in Brazil. Run by the United Nations and UNESCO, the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change was signed off at the recent G20 Summit in Brazil. Part of its remit will fund non-profit outfits rooting out so-called disinformation and promoting ‘public awareness campaigns’. Commenting on the campaign, the UN’s global communications flack Melissa Fleming noted that a growing number of people are waking up to the harms caused by climate disinformation and “toxic information ecosystems in general”. She suggested that a global movement for “information integrity is gaining momentum”.

In fact this initiative is a desperate throw of the dice to further trash the scientific process and curb free speech and commentary. Fed by decades of failed doomsday climate predictions, fake, cherry-picked and massaged statistics, farcical weather ‘attribution’ claims and an increasingly obvious politicised ‘ban’ on sceptical discussion of the actual science, the ‘momentum’ is turning towards a demand for genuine debate.

‘This is our moment of truth’, says Le Pen as French government on the brink

 Telegraph

Marine Le Pen declared a vote of no confidence in Michel Barnier “the moment of truth” as MPs prepared to bring down the French government.

Speaking during a debate ahead of tonight’s vote, the leader of the National Rally (RN) defended her party’s plan to topple the French prime minister.

“We have come to the moment of truth,” she told MPs, adding she did not want to believe Mr Barnier would “just be a follower of what came before but the builder of a new future.”

France’s left and right-wing parties united to bring forward two motions against the French prime minister earlier this week after he used a rare constitutional power to force through his budget.

Mr Barnier, known for his role as the EU’s chief negotiator during the Brexit years, is not expected to survive the vote but he insisted

Russia Accuses Ukraine Of Supporting AQ-Linked Fighters In Syria, & There Is Some Evidence

 Zero Hedge

 

While the issue of potential Ukrainian government support to Syria's Al Qaeda spin-off Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has remained subject of intense speculation and rumor, Moscow has made the allegation official.

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia issued a statement accusing Ukraine of stoking the armed insurgency which seeks to take over Syrian territory and threaten Assad. "Ukrainian military instructors from the GUR are present… training HTS fighters for combat operations," Nebenzia said at the UN on Tuesday

He went on to assert that HTS has "not only not concealed the fact that they are supported by Ukraine, but they are also openly flaunting this." Reports and images of Ukrainian equipment and drones in the hands of the jihadists during the capture of Aleppo have persisted for days.

Nebenzia also turned his criticisms against UN officials for being "unable to summon the courage to call a spade a spade and to condemn these terrorist attacks" against Syria.
