Marc Morano, the publisher of CFACT’s ClimateDepot.com, explained how terrible climate alarmism is for ordinary citizens. “Germany is leading the way making sure affordable airline travel for the public is a thing of the past. You will go nowhere and be happy. France has already banned flights of two and a half hours or less,” explained Morano. “We have climate activists clamoring for flying only when it’s ‘morally justifiable,’ during a declared ‘climate emergency.’”
He then cautioned that this issue is coming close to home: “Bloomberg News has said that cheap airline tickets will be going away due to ‘climate compliance’ regulations. Gas powered car bans, flight restrictions, our ruling class really has nothing but contempt for what they consider the unwashed masses.” He ended, “Make no mistake, our freedom of movement is under assault by this climate agenda.”

Politico: – April 12, 2024: Germany’s transport minister Volker Wissing in a letter to the parliamentary group leaders: “A reduction in traffic to help meet the climate goals would only be possible through measures that are difficult to communicate to the public, such as “comprehensive and indefinite driving bans on Saturdays and Sundays,” Wissing added. … If the planned reforms are not passed through parliament by July 15, Wissing warned, the Ministry for Digital and Transport would be obliged to submit an “immediate action program that ensures compliance with the annual emission levels of the transport sector” until 2030 — which would include a driving ban on weekends. …
“This claim is simply wrong,” Green parliamentary group leader Julia Verlinden told the German Press Agency, referring to Wissing’s threat of a weekend driving ban. She added that Wissing should not aggravate people unnecessarily because there are other ways to tackle climate issues, such as a speed limit.
