In the great sea of liberal stupidity, there is no bottom. But the Mariana Trench of Moronity has to be Cambridge, MA. Their latest proposal? Turning that funny “green police” Audi ad into a reality.
They’ve created something called the “Cambridge Climate Emergency Congress,” which is calling for the creation of the Climate Emergency Response Board (CERB) to fight the scourge of global warming. How?
Blogger Peter Wilson of WalkingDogCapitalist has done the hard work of reading through their proposals and he dug out some gems:
- To get an idea of the thinking of our climate first responders, consider this bullet point:
- "Need to change community norms and expectations such that it is all right to tell your neighbors what they can and cannot do in the realm of climate change‐related behavior." (Notes 11.)
- Cambridge "develop [a] relationship with an inland sister city to prepare for relocation away from coasts when sea level rises." (Notes 15.)
- The veneration of all things "local" continues: "Cambridge should move in the direction of economic change, creating a locally based economy." (Notes 8.) We might "[c]onsider a local currency." (Notes 76.)
- Since automobiles generate greenhouse gases, numerous ideas were put forth to limit or eliminate cars from Cambridge. My favorite is the dictum: "Cars should be shared rather than privately owned." (Notes 75.) Pol Pot would be on board with that one.
- Elsewhere we read: "Eliminate streetside parking in the city." (Proposal 15.) And: "To decrease the number of Cambridge residents or employees who depend on cars, we could decrease the number of on‐street parking spaces." (Notes 76.)
The CCCP..er CCEC hasn’t released a former declaration and not all of these nutty ideas will make the final cut. But they all share a fundamental philosophy, which is that your neighbors have the right to force you into “green-friendly” behavior. Coercion is at the heart of nearly every proposal.
Do the Cambridge kooks even care that the climate-panic movement is collapsing under its own fraud and arrogance? Not a bit. They’re too busy changing the world to be bothered with picayune matters like facts.
One thing is for certain. The Cambridge Environmental Congress will have precisely the same impact on the world as the Cambridge Human Rights Council and the Cambridge Peace Commission.
"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
