(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) A group of climate activists funded by billionaire globalist Michael Bloomberg and linked to the World Economic Forum aims to seize regulatory control in nearly 100 cities worldwide—including 14 major U.S. cities—within the next decade.
If successful their radical measures would leave people with no choice but to accept the consumption of insects and the use of public transport, according to a 2019 report that recently resurfaced.
The Federalist reported Saturday that the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group’s list of targets included Austin; Boston; Chicago; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; New Orleans; New York City; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; and Seattle.
The alarming report, titled “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World,” suggested eliminating private vehicle ownership, permitting one short-haul return flight every three years per person, allowing only three new clothing items per person per year, and removing meat and dairy by 2030, the Gateway Pundit reported.
Fact-checkers such as the globalist Agence France-Presse were quick to point out that the C40 report included an escape hatch for plausible deniability, lest it encounter any criticism or ridicule.
“This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in C40 cities; rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points,” it claimed.
The report’s original publication came on the heels of the widely mocked Green New Deal, put forward by then freshman U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, D-N.Y. in early 2019.
A controversial “draft” version of the “Squad” leader’s failed proposal included things like ending plane travel and meat consumption for commoners within the same time frame in order to attain net-zero carbon-dioxide emissions to avert the imminent apocalypse that the Bronx lawmaker predicted was only 12 years away.
On this day 2 years ago, AOC bravely warned us that, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.”
I know it’s tough to think about, but how are you going to spend these final 10 years before the #ClimateChangeApocalypse wipes us all out? pic.twitter.com/5gueYuRRrq

But despite its defeat, many of the core proposals put forward in the massive spending bill were subsequently rehashed by the Biden administration via measures like the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
And it appears the socialist-inspired elites haven’t given up on pushing the rest of their “Great Reset” policies just yet, with Biden having recently hinted at the declaration of a climate “emergency” that would resemble the pandemic-era curtailment of civil liberties with an even more abstract and scientifically dubious objective.
Meanwhile, the WEF has also been in action, launching efforts to turn Detroit into America’s first “smart city” after receiving $3 million from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to push controversial ESG policies.
Other major urban centers are not waiting for organizations like the C40 and WEF to foist vegan diets and eco-friendly lifestyles onto their citizens. Earlier this year, New York City implemented caps on meat and dairy served in city institutions, while the United Kingdom announced a ban on gas-powered vehicles in 2030.
France banned short-haul commercial flights for carbon-dioxide emission reduction, but private jets—like those owned by elite globalist billionaires—are still allowed.
