In the Republic of Cambridge MA a sweeping green police proposal is being sought to stem the "Climate Emergency"

Some gems of the Proposal from the "Cambridge Climate Emergency Congress"


Calls for :

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.

In other words busy body neighbors will be telling you how to live your life

Proposal #1 is to create a Climate Emergency Response Board (CERB), a further expansion of legislative authority over the minutia of our private lives.

More and more of our everyday freedoms will be usurped due to the climate emergency and the need for the government to respond

And then suggestions will give way to mandates

Many CEC delegates, however, truly believe that climate armageddon is imminent; one proposal is that Cambridge "develop [a] relationship with an inland sister city to prepare for relocation away from coasts when sea level rises." (Notes 15.) Two hundred years from now, we read, "all that's left is spore and viruses. The world uninhabitable for people." Given this belief that urgent action is needed, once laws and enforcement mechanisms are in place, "encouragement" will give way to "mandates," as in "chools and hospitals could be mandated to serve only local foods." (Notes 78.)

More government price fixing to make organic local foods affordable

Local food is a big agenda item: "no apples from New Zealand." Delegates, however, "expressed concern that green food options must be made affordable." (Notes 77.) How would that work? Price controls? Resident discounts subsidized by taxes?

Is vegetarianism one of those things that is now encouraged but later will be mandated?

Vegetarianism is also "encouraged." Under "personal behavior change," we find: "Diet changes like eating no (or less) meat and sourcing locally..." (Notes 4.) Or "[a]sking/mandating that local restaurants and schools institute 'Meatless or Vegan Mondays.
