Foreign [Music] it's James Lindsey you are listening to the new discourses podcast and today we have to talk about a really important idea I don't think this will be a very long episode so you don't have to like buckle up or anything like that except in terms of the meaning of the content we're going to talk about this idea called degrowth I Don't know if you've heard about D growth but d-growth is a catastrophe I did a podcast previously that's ultimately about degrowth if you remember I did a podcast about this absolute zero program absolute
zero emissions by 2050 which is kind of a more extreme take on Net Zero which is net zero emissions by 2050. so the difference being that with absolute zero we make absolutely no emissions and with Net Zero as we balance it out so the Amount of emissions in the amount of carbon that we're capturing and putting away or whatever else balances out to zero so I came across this it's fairly short this is what I want to go through to give you a picture of it because I also want you to understand what's happening in
order to achieve the growth this article on the world economic forum's agenda which is means it's their blog Climate and nature and the title is how to accelerate the decarbonization of Aviation and so part of the degrowth movement again if you remember that previous podcast that I did about absolute zero and I encourage you to go listen to that if you haven't heard it it's alarming is that the goal is to get the emissions down and to decarbonize things so that we can have a more sustainable future so the idea of degrowth is rooted Effectively
in Herbert Marcus's one-dimensional man from 1964 where he argues that socialism has the right ideology the capitalism delivers the goods but the problem is is that capitalism is unsustainable among other things like some of its exploitative practices he says we need to become content with a lower standard of living with less with fewer gadgets less plastic fewer things blah blah blah blah and ultimately That's what D growth is it's accepting a lower standard of living on the justification of um sustainability or whatever the the thing is that they want to call it so you've heard
also maybe the podcast is about sustainable development goals that's tapped into this you maybe have heard the podcast that I did about the um the sustainability being the tyranny of The 21st century and you may have heard the podcast that I did or read the article essay that I wrote about the idea of Herbert Marcus's solving the riddle of History where the idea is that um productive socialism can be built like can we have in China as we might call it and at the same time um what we might agree to call sustainable capitalism that's
going to be managed uh through stakeholder capitalism is going to be the way that We bring the overall productivity and size of the West down now the degrowth thing before I dive into this essay and also I want to talk about this socialist Magazine with regard to degrowth the degrowth thing is particularly um funny in a way if you go look it up if you go look up degrowth and I almost did this I put some of this on on Twitter I guess we have to call it X now I'm not going to call it
X Um but if you go look it up they'll say things and there was another world economic Forum document I wonder if I could easily find it where they talk about degrowth and what they actually say is that the purpose of degrowth is not to shrink the GDP but then they talk about how degrowth will shrink the GDP they say that it's not about having smaller economies but it is about having smaller economies and then they try to Introduce this new idea called the well-being economy instead which is absolutely Preposterous obviously so we're not going
to measure our economic output now in terms of productivity or growth or gross domestic product in particular we're gonna we're gonna measure some thing called well-being and that's how we're going to know if we have a good and effective economy is do we have one that is producing well-being and of course who's going to get to name What that looks like well not us um that's going to be the stakeholders and the stakeholder capitalist model that's going to be our tyrants and they're going to decide for us what um what that looks like there's actually
I'm looking it up now there's a lot of Articles right now about um degrowth in the degrowth movement uh both on the world economic Forum website and others just to give you a flavor U.S news and I guess that's U.S News and World Report maybe analysis climate change scarcity chip away at the d-growth Taboo in the article on degrowth published in June by Davos organizer the world economic Forum hinted at D growth impact suggesting that it might mean people in rich countries changing their diets and living in different ways CNN is degree with a dangerous
idea or the answer to the world's biggest problems And World economic Forum talks about it we have this other essay on dw.com whatever this is how risky is economic growth well the degrowth movements movement wants rich countries to stop chasing GDP in a desperate bid to stop the planet from Heating so the idea is that we're going to shrink our economies we're going to in Herbert Marcus's World become content with less as they said a year ago on June 15 2022 at the world economic Forum Degrowth what is behind the economic theory and why does
it matter right now and it says that degrowth is a radical economic theory born in the 1970s it broadly means shrinking rather than growing economies to use less of the world's dwindling resources should say fewer probably detractors of degrowth say economic growth has given the world everything from cancer treatments to indoor plumbing yes indeed and supporters argue that degrowth doesn't Mean quote Living in caves with candles but just living a bit more simply and so then they start off in this older piece how do we save our planet some economists believe the only way notice
this some economists believe yeah that means they need its economists plural they need two of them some economists believe the only way is to radically scale back our Global consumption of resources this is a key premise of degrowth a political and Economic theory that is gaining traction as fears grow over climate change but is it workable and says what is degrowth degrowth broadly means shrinking rather than growing economies so we use less of the world's energy and resources and put well-being ahead of profit so there's your well-being economy instead of a gross domestic product the
idea is that by pursuing degrowth policies that can economies can help Themselves or citizens and the planet by becoming more sustainable practical degrowth actions might include buying less stuff growing your own food and using empty houses instead of building new ones the website economics help suggests degrowth as a term was coined in 1972 by Austrian French social philosopher Andre Gores according to the website d growth.info as a movement negrowth started to take Off in the early 2000s according to Media platform open democracy which we can guess just by the name is probably communist modern degrowth
protagonists include French Economist Sergey latouche who argues that society's current model of economic growth is unsustainable and it's all about this climate change they say well you know it says why does degrowth matter well economic growth in society dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries explains our world and data That's when technological innovation started driving increased Prosperity yeah which becomes a problem government policies have focused on growing and expanding economies ever since with increasing awareness about climate change the degrowth debate has accelerated now it has been accelerated by these manipulators if economic growth continues
to be the default goal it will lead to climate catastrophe the argument goes which Means they don't know that they're not saying it's true they're saying it's true or so the argument goes and they say with no hope of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees it seems to be no coincidence that global warming caused by humans started around the 1830s it seems to be no coincidence seems to be but it may in fact be it seems to be no coincidence scientists believe when the world's first Industrial Revolution was at its height the solution is Essentially
to move away from the assumption that growth is good so shrinking contraction D growth is good one of the things degrothers would like to see is the end of gross domestic product being used as a measure of economic progress notes the conversation now what is the conversation the conversation is a website that publishes only people who have faculty positions in universities and it is the darling of the world Economic Forum so it is the Unholy marriage between Academia and propaganda media funneled through something like the world economic forum they say GDP measures in economy's entire
outputs and output of goods and services but what are the experts saying there are plenty of opponents to degrowth Theory yeah no kidding um and then they this is very interesting because I wasn't going to go through This one but the way that they push this is that news and opinion site Vox that's their experts argues that economic growth is what's given the world quote Cancer Treatments neonatal Intensive Care Unit smallpox vaccines and Insulin so Vox super leftist comes out is presented as coming out in favor of growth freedom from poverty and or Plumbing electricity
and longer life expectancies or other gains of growth and the list Goes on so this is what they want to end with degrowth one of vox's counter arguments to degrowth is that many countries have shrunk their emissions while also growing their GDP so you don't actually have to believe the climate scam even Vox is saying that but this what what they're going to do with this is so typical says they've done this using Technologies like renewable energy another argument is the impracticality Of poor countries developing a quote up to a certain level of prosperity and
then stopping while rich countries scaled down to the same level and who gets to decide which goods and services where it becomes a critical theory that's what fox does it who gets to decide which goods and services people choose and spend their money on Vox asks there's also the Inconvenient Truth that most carbon emissions in the coming decades will come from newly Middle-income countries like India China and Indonesia rather than rich countries like the United States it's not that people are not it shouldn't do degrowth necessarily it's that they're doing it wrong but on the
other hand egress supporters also have compelling arguments it says the conversation quotes Sam Alexander or a degrowth Advocate and research fellow at Melbourne sustainable Society Institute at the University of Melbourne in Australia he says degrowth quote doesn't mean we're going to be living in caves with candles instead it might mean people in rich countries changing their diets living in smaller houses and driving and traveling less and that's why this is so relevant to the aviation article I'm about to yell about it is important to clarify that degrowth is not about reducing GDP says Jason hickle
but rather about reducing energy and resource through it Says throughput okay so this is for a university of London academic this is who Jason hickle is while open democracy points out that one way or another quote a different kind of economic structure is needed for an ecologically constrained world will ecological constraint is their social constructed power grab but they said that it doesn't necessarily mean having less GDP but we're not going to pay attention to GDP but then blah blah blah Blah blah there it's also contradictory there are other articles I went through a whole
bunch of them on Twitter at one point I don't have them in front of me where literally they say that the goal is to actually shrink GDP and then sometimes it says we're not going to shrink GDP and then somebody says we're just going to do what we do in schools and not measure the thing um D growth can work here's how science can help that's nature That's the academic journal Nature physics dot or phys.org the physics blog platform American physical Society can degrowth save us and the planet the growthers are convinced that degrowth must
and will happen either by Design or by disaster degrowth is degrowth or post growth is not a form of austerity and it's not about getting poorer that sounds kind of magical um it is a concept they say to rethink our Values and what matters in life no okay they're going to tell us what matters and how our values are going to be organized at the core of degrowth Concepts or values such as well-being care self-organization and conviviality the eating wasn't on the freaking list um I guess that's under well-being right yeah it's not it's a
compelling invitation to prioritize our relationships with each other and with nature over extreme individualism oh so It's communism got you and our addiction to stuff oh there's marcusa and purely consumerist forms of entertainment and there's the critical theorists it is as Kate Soper argues about an alternative Hedonism and so we're gonna degrow and have a new uh form of Hedonism where did it come from they say well first this is I would add this is the phys.org article it's about Reviving solidarity in the common good as an alternative to the neo-liberal regime of the competitive
Market so it's neo-communism as an answer to neoliberalism okay check the concept of degrowth they tell us originated in France in the early 1970s in 1972 the club of Rome an economic Think Tank which I did a podcast about them too is about the limits of growth they believe that the planet's going to collapse if we continue to use our resources and so we gotta do you grow in 1972 the club of Rome and economic Think Tank published a report on the limits to Growth this became the first significant study to make a point that
economic growth is not endless early adopters of uh their croissants which I assume means degrowth but I'm not sure where Scholars such as Nicholas something krogersku Rogan Andre gorz who we just heard about before Ivan ilik that's the D schooling guy Eric Fromm that's a uh Frankfurt school psychologist and EF Schumacher it's funny how they didn't Mention that in the next year 1973 Klaus Schwab at the world economic forum had the the club of Rome the pechy or whatever the guy is in charge of it come and speak at the world economic Forum the next
year and they say that more growth means more energy consumption and more extraction of material resources why do we think that an economic system any economic system can produce growth forever D growth means living within the Earth's Regenerative limits and in socially Equitable and collectively supportive ways it's just communism dressed up then this is where degrowth Concepts not only question the ideology of unlimited growth economic growth but they're also critical of the method with which economic growth is measured namely via gross domestic product everybody fighting the fights in the schools has got to be having
like chills right now because it's the exact same thing oh the SAT measures the wrong thing it measures whiteness or something so we have to get rid of the test gross domestic product actually it's the way we measure economics is wrong we got to change it to some communist like well-being while the monetary measure of GDP has always been problematic as a method to determine economic progress this is even more obvious in the accelerating ecological crisis and the accelerating Crisis of global capitalism in case you wondered if this is communist remember this is a physics
website firstly GDP does not take into account the widening gap of inequality communist thus a rise in GDP will only benefit the few while the living standards of the many get worse no that's actually not true everywhere that we've had market economies open up which is not the same as capitalism by the way everywhere the Living standards of everybody except for a very small Fringe that are very difficult for sometimes good and sometimes not so good reasons everybody's standard of the living go up secondly they say it does not take into account economic externalities that's
a magic word that means that they're pollution and stuff the profit of oil companies comes with a price that is not accounted for the warming of the planet maybe maybe maybe not the profit made Due to deforestation of their Amazon to secure our consumption of beef comes with a price the warming of the planet Maybe but you see how simplistic this is the profit that water companies in the UK make because they don't properly take care of sewage comes also with a price and its color is brown the exploitation of nature cannot be continued endlessly
we are fast reaching a point where we must accept the Regenerative limits of our planet so it's the same same crap but again and again and again the same communist crap these are excuses for them to take power um there are other ways to deal with these issues the most notable way to deal with the kinds of issues they're talking about are to build other energy sources and I'm not talking about Green Alternative Energy I'm primarily talking about not only fossil fuels which can be Quite clean and can in fact have carbon scrubbing at the
output but nuclear power which they don't like for inexplicable reasons the reasons are very simple it would solve this freaking alleged problem that they're trying to exploit to take power all of the problems that they just described can all actually be solved by throwing more energy not less at the system as always in Academia this article Physics.org tells us fizz.org phys.org this is a July 2023 article so you know the propaganda is on thick if physics.org is putting out this freaking uh article now as always in Academia degrowth is not a concept set in stone
it is an open term with different Foci and interpretations there is no unified vision of degrowth so there's a modern Bailey in play however in the face of our environmental emergency which is fabricated there is a surge in the Academic literature that is activist no and interested in policies and strategies to move from growth to degrowth in other words to take power into outline Pathways Beyond capitalism in case you wondered if it's communist this would require a democratization of the economy in case you wondered if it's communist where workers are in control and not shareholders
in case you wondered if it's communist it would require a profound redistribution of Wealth in case you wondered if it's communist to finance public services and a universal basic income in case you wondered if it's communist such a redistribution of wealth cannot stop at a national level in case you wondered if it's International communist International solidarity in particular must support for the global South sorry International solidarity in particular support for the global South is required for a transition Beyond growth The Comeback of degrowth from the early 1970s anti-capitalist theories is not a mere academic exercise
any longer it's driven by the urgency of our predicament so now it's not Theory it's Praxis in case you wondered if it's communist now degrowth is turning into a movement which is rapidly growing pun intended ultimately this is a struggle against capital in case you wondered this is phys.org this is a physics website saying this ultimately this is a Struggle against capital degrowth is communist the human species will have to respond to the threat of ecocide with rigor and purpose there is hope that degrowth will still be applied by Design and not only by disaster
this depends on how quickly the movement can assert influence and Power in case you wondered if it's communist or I hadn't intended to read that but isn't this a valuable article we're just Going to have to go Bonkers about later and again this is D can degro save us and the planet by Dr Andreas Whittle Nottingham Trent University uh July 27 2023 on fizz.org which is a physics website but we were here do you have an idea about degrowth now do you have a sense of what D growth is it's communism right so we have
to accelerate the growth in all Industries and if you remember from that uh absolute zero Podcast that I did the aviation industry in particular by 2030 has to be massively hampered and by 2050 must not exist there will be no commercial flying here children will not travel you will not travel you better start circling your family wagons now or soon because travel will become very expensive and difficult later Light Rail only which in the United States we don't have any of so that'll be inconvenient their goal is and if you fly lately you're going to
Notice they are flying experience our airport experience our Airline experience is increasingly becoming a second world country experience it is much less efficient much less on time much more chaotic much less Pleasant all across the board they are killing it and meanwhile it's much more expensive incredibly more expensive when I went to the Turning Point USA conference the other week in in West Palm Beach Florida United Airlines wanted me to pay 2600 Dollars for a domestic flight from where I live to West Palm Beach that's a lot of money when I spoke at an event
in Washington DC earlier this week I traveled there and I flew into Dulles International Airport which is a little further out of the city center instead of Reagan International because the flight into Reagan International on United which I typically fly because I have status there was twenty one hundred dollars these are Insane prices I used to fly internationally fairly regularly big trans-pacific flights huge flights never had to pay more than thirteen hundred dollars for a flight now domestic flights are sometimes twice that for shitty service everything running late people being unhappy the whole thing is
kind of caving in and getting more expensive as they do and why why is it Airline built because they're crushing it why is the airline industry getting So shitty well let's read this article from the world economic Forum July 20th 2023 so it is in this mid middle of this new propaganda push about it's a climate emergency it's a climate crisis a crisis of the world that we must have Global centralization and cooperation to solve now it's gotten to Klaus a little bit there this is July 20th 2023 how to accelerate the decarbonization of Aviation
now they start off every World economic Forum uh agenda AKA blog Article starts off it says this is an eight-minute lesson just to go through it's by this uh guy Alejandro de Cuero I guess that's quiero probably Alejandro de quiero Cordero sustainability lead Aerospace and drones of the world economic forum whether he has a real job or not I don't know but it says it's an eight minute listen it's not very long it's going to be longer than that when I read it Um but they start off every one of these with a bullet point
so every essay and their agenda item starts off with three or four or five bullet points what the article's about you're going to hear how important it is to to decarbonize the airline industry Aviation overall it says the aviation industry Point number one the aviation industry presents one of the most formidable decarbonization challenges that's true turns out aircraft are hard to run without jet Fuel what a big freaking shock a lot of the stuff that goes on in manufacturing Jets moving Jets Etc need lots of say diesel okay so it's hard to decarbonize the aviation
industry well how important is it how bad of a polluter every time you go buy a plane ticket these days you'll notice it tells you how many kilograms of CO2 you're responsible for for your seat you bought the more expensive your seat the more kilograms you're responsible for Apparently your share goes up okay so how much pollution does the aviation industry do you're thinking oh my God they're flying up high they're lots of CO2 that's tons of fuel I mean you hear the numbers of pounds of fuel in an aircraft and you're like holy crap
it's a lot right Aviation they tell us in point number two contributes under three percent of global carbon emissions now maybe you thought that I misspoke or misread that because it actually says Under three percent like one two three not 13 not 30 not something that sounds like three but it's some other room three under three percent less than three percent of our emissions Global carbon emissions if those matter at all which I don't think they probably do under three percent come from Aviation but we have to decarbonize this so we have this very difficult
these two points together with this very difficult Industry to decarbonize and it's less than three percent of the problem if the problem's even real so what's the real purpose then so you would think in a sane approach you would say well crap if decarbonization is actually necessary let's assume for the sake of argument that it is even though it probably isn't you'd say well crap where can we easily decarbonize and where can we not easily Decarbonize so okay aviation is important to people it's important to move goods and services goods from people families like there's
lots of reasons people fly demand they keep telling us the flights are so expensive and difficult because demand is way up they keep telling us people want to fly people want to travel and yet it's very hard to decarbonize this so you say okay how much pollution does it make less than three percent of the Problem if it's even a problem wouldn't you think that maybe we're going to focus somewhere else and say well that's going to get a carve out we'll do what we can we'll try to get more efficient engines we'll try to
get more efficient designs we'll try to put more people on planes or whatever the hell it takes but we're not going to try to revamp and destroy the entire industry over less than three percent but that's exactly The opposite of what they're really doing for degrowth less less less you have to get used to traveling less that was part of it you have to eat worse food you're gonna have to stay home a lot more why because Aviation contributes under three percent of global carbon emissions so what you can tell from putting these points together
is this has not a single thing to do with saving the planet and 100 percent of to do with controlling your Ability to move if you are especially a poor person they meaning less than like millions of dollars per year you are not to go clog up their beaches clog up their airports clog up their tourist destinations clog up the Versailles and France or the Louvre or or you know some of the things in London or any of the Great Wall of China they don't want poor people clogging up their luxury spots so let's get
the off airplane so they can't get there that's what this Is about you have a very recalcic recalcitrant problem if it's a problem at all yeah so if decarbonization is necessary which I again assert it's probably not but let's say it is we have this one industry that means a lot to Global business to global Shipping and to people and all combined it's less than three percent of the problem and it's very difficult to decarbonize so they're going to prioritize decarbonizing it and they're going to Write an article about accelerating decarbonizing it all this is
about is getting fewer planes in the air so there's fewer opportunity for poor people who aren't hyper Ultra Rich oligarchs to be able to fly around in fact they recently said that somebody got pinned down I wish I knew the details to give it to you right they got pinned down and said why do you get to fly your private jets and their answer was because we can't afford it This is about keeping everyday normal people off airplanes and out of tourist destinations it has nothing to do with saving the environment first of all the
decarbonization mission is not necessarily clear that it actually matters second of all if it were to be completely obliterated it's less than three percent of the problem and number three it's hard to do it it would be if anything constitutes a reasonable carve Out from their totalitarian idiocy it would be this but they don't want us moving they don't want us Gathering they don't want us having opportunities that's what this is about it's communism and we better wake the up it is communism coming they're going to crush our ability to move they're going to crush
our ability to gather they're going to crush our ability to have opportunities and if we don't do something before it's over if we don't Say something before it's over if we don't make this as this clear before they break these industries or get them to commit suicide then we're going to lose them the institutional knowledge the whole kind of continuous operation think about it if you lose an entire say few years of people knowing how to do air traffic control all the experienced ones who are competent to things go on and do other things they're
not coming back to ATC Afterwards who's going to guide the planes well now you've got 20 to 30 years to get the level of experience back to where it was because you took a couple year pause this is something they understand and are manipulating we had better say something about this we had better start fighting against this this decarbonization degrowth has to get canceled it has to get shut down decarbonizing Aviation this is point three will require all available options Including battery electric and hydrogen power aircraft while addressing scalability challenges for sustainable Aviation fuels this
is just like that stupid absolute zero document okay you're not going to fly a plane with batteries get over it they're heavy you're not going to do it those things are that's not real hydrogen power aircraft might be real there's probably a reason we don't use them people know how to use hydrogen we Use them to fuel Rockets there's a reason we don't fly hydrogen power aircraft already I don't know what it is scalability challenges for sustainable Aviation fuels this is all crap there's not even any reason that we need to decarbonize aviation in the
first place but now they say it requires all available options we have to dump effort into a bunch of wild goose chases so that we're not paying attention to the fact that they're actually just shutting Down Aviation overall it should remind you of where they're discovering in the Crazy Summer heat that they we've just had to have electric vehicles and electric vehicles don't work in the Crazy Summer heat oh they don't work in the cold either oh they don't really work oh we can't really mind that much lithium oh we can't really make that many
oh my God they don't the roads can't really endure them the solution to this these enormous sets of fake Problems to do with electric vehicles is going to be that we can't have electric vehicles the mining the preparing the building the distribution the use is all going to be unsustainable in the next wave of instability unsustainability purges the point is to get people not driving cars this is the point is to get people not flying an aircraft to get you stuck where you are Point number four these adjustable points we didn't read this yet government
policy is crucial oh of course it is alongside any technological advancements to accelerate decarbonization goals so the goal isn't to use you know Innovation and all of this to to improve say it matters say decarbonization matters we're not going to use you know the forces of a market that are bending in that direction for Whatever reason we're going to like for example say organically that the fossil fuels were to get very expensive or whatever there would be Organic Market pressures that push us we're not going to look for that we're not looking for technological advances
that solve problems we're going to use government policy government policy is crucial so it's really just a power grab isn't it so how's this article Go and it's the remember the point of this is a degrowth is communism and part of Communism is going to crush our ability to be free independent Movers so they're going to take away our ability to engage and travel the travel Industries or the I should say the sectors of the travel industry Cruise Lines shipping um hotels even Airlines and so on are all crushing Themselves they're all committing suicide they're
being forced through ESG policies and through whatever cult they've joined and whatever island-based activities they engaged in to get the power that they have then now they're stuck they're being compelled to commit ritual suicide sticking the wakasashi into their guts and cutting it open to kill these industries for de-growth which is as we just heard from phys.org communism is a struggle against Capital itself in a significant development they tell us the international civil aviation organizations every time I see an international something as an organization or Association some communist horse shit's about to come down the
pike every single time every single time in a significant development the international civil aviation organization's assembly embraced an ambitious objective last Year by establishing an aspirational Target for international Aviation to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. this commitment reinforces existing goals and commitments undertaken by the aviation industry in individual states this is where they're going to describe that suicide thing however adopting a net zero emissions Target also acknowledges the formidable challenge faced by Aviation recognizing it as one of the most Challenging sectors to decarbonize requiring all available options including battery electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft however
anticipated advancements and scalability of Technology such as sustainable Aviation fuels projected to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions emissions emissions it's like peewee's Playhouse from back in the day we all have to go nuts when we hear the magic word emissions ah destroy your economy Emissions ah destroy your economy yeah yeah okay projected so sustainable Aviation fuels and other technological advantages are projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 46 to 65 percent that offers the sector a clear trajectory they say so you could maybe get the under three percent so let's say maybe it's 2.8 you
reduce it by roughly 50 we could get it from 2.8 down to 1.4 percent of the problem oh Although realizing their potential will require active promotion and appropriate incentives and regulation get the carrot and get the stick see what they're saying is it's not going to be enough for the uh Airlines or whatever to push for this for um you know reasons like that it's marketable or whatever else they're going to have to be other reasons the it's not going to be about doing Business it's going to be about incentives and regulation it's going to
be about being told hey there's a change coming it's called sustainability if you go along with us it's going to be okay for you and your industry but if you don't we're going to have to destroy you because we're freaking Communists because here's the first rule of Communism this is the core rule of Communism this is the most important thing to know about communism Communists Hate Everything not under their control the whole point of all communist ideologies whether it's old school communism and Marxism whether it's neo-marxism whether it's woke whether it's critical race Theory whether
it's queer theory is in fact to denounce everything you don't control until you control it if you want to control something you denounce it until you control it but what about the things you can't control You Must Destroy them Because there must be nothing under your control because it's inherently totalitarian so the most important rule to realize communism is they're either going to regulate it into their control or lure people into under their control with incentives or they're going to destroy it so their incentives go along with us and we'll take good care of you
and there are right and by the way your um executive bonuses can be really high so we'll Totally make it super corrupt and we're going to regulate the living hell out of you because what they're saying here is no industry making its own decisions would possibly do this no industry that wishes to survive would do this this is them holding a gun to the industry's Head with a big pile of money over on the table and saying kill yourself and you can have the money more or less it's kill yourself or we're Going to kill
you but if you kill yourself we'll give you the money and because it's an industry the people at the top the executives see the money they know they're going to get it and they're going to be able to escape liability no big deal realizing the potential of this so-called necessary decarbonization Improvement will require active promotion and appropriate incentives and Regulation they have by the way here have you read decarbonizing Aviation what is the shift to Alternative propulsion what will it require here's how we unlock the technology needed to make decarbonization a reality how the first
movers Coalition is decarbonizing hard to Abate industry so this is a big agenda item for the totally on the up and up World economic Forum decarbonization which is part of Degrowth which is as we just heard communist hard to Abate that's the next section by examining the admissions distribution outlined in the Air transport action group's Waypoint 2050 report which I'm sure is a gem I'm not going to click on it right now we find that 96 percent of Aviation emissions originate from aircraft with more than 100 seats remarkably 66 percent of these emissions Are attributed
to highly successful single aisle aircraft dominating the market the remaining four percent is associated with aircraft with up to 100 seats commonly deployed for regional routes okay so the problem is under three percent Regional flights are four percent of that which is like 0.12 percent or something like this less than point One two percent roughly a tenth of a percent of the emissions in the world are caused by Regional flights guess which ones are the ones that cost me twenty six hundred dollars to buy a ticket Regional flights they're going to get rid of the
regional flights those are the ones that if you read the 2050 uh absolute zero report they say absolutely have to be crushed it's not even long-haul flights although those are going to have to be crushed but That's going to be the point of the rest of the article they're pointing out here that Regional flights which they are trying to phase out entirely to make it too expensive to price out to close airports in Europe they're already closing airports anywhere there is between any two cities where there is a rail option available instead Regional flights globally
constitute about a tenth of a percent of emissions which may not even matter anyway and That's the thing they have to crush this is about making life inconvenient for people it's like the bread lines the breadline yeah they had their distribution thing but the main point to the breadline was to keep people in line four to six hours once or twice a week so they couldn't be doing something else to waste their time so that you would have commissars watching them as you were as they were wasting their time so they're not meeting they're not
getting Together and they're not planning a revolution out of their communist so the remaining four percent is associated with aircraft up to 100 seats commonly deployed for regional routes therefore to decarbonize the bulk of those emissions in the short term the focus lies on safs which offer a technically feasible solution using so a single aisle uh something single aisle flights or something like that Uh which offer fuselage maybe which offer a technically feasible solution utilizing the current infrastructure of aircraft and air ports however the key challenge lies in scaling up the production and supply of
those aircraft according to the making Net Zero Aviation possible report which I'm sure is a just Gem of a document meeting the demand will necessitate 300 saf production Plans by 2030 with a projected requirement of up to 3 400 Plants by 2050 this need presents a significant challenge regarding feedstock availability particularly as biomass resources are limited now I have to look up what saf means because this oh it's sustainable Aviation fuels it's not single aisle my bad so in the short term to decarbonize the bulk of those emissions and shorten the focus lies on sustainable
aviation fuel which they're Apparently going to make from corn is what it appears we're going to need 300 saf production plants that sustainable aviation fuel plants by 2030 are the projected requirement of up to 3 400 plants by 2050. the problem is the need presents a significant challenge regarding feed stock availability particularly as biomass resources you're limited why is Bill Gates buying so much farmland to scale sustainable aviation fuel in Line with these 20 50 targets rapid deployment of power to liquid plants will likely be required after 2030 to overcome the feedstock constraint of bio-based
roots industry will play a key role in meeting this challenge but it is but it is clear government sorry but it is clear government targets Frameworks and policies will be needed to support the widespread adoption of sustainable Aviation fuels within the aviation industry So we're going to move to unrealistic fuels and they're going to have to grow a lot of biomass and they're going to have to use power to fuel conversion in order to meet demand when considering the broader context of decarbonization the significance of electrification May surpass initial estimates while projections indicate its importance
in the emission reductions at around 2 percent this technology is crucial in supporting The decarbonization roadmap so the problem is less than three percent of the thing in the first place and here the importance of this for electrification is it's only going to solve two percent of the problem so two percent of the three percent problem point zero six percent wonderful this technology they say is crucial in supporting the decarbonization roadmap notably battery electric aircraft offers the advantage Of eliminating in-flight emissions emissions ah Billy's Playhouse ah word of the day ah everybody give all the
power to the government emissions ah in recent years numerous concepts for Electric electrical vertical takeoff and Landing vehicles have emerged I think that means helicopter type drones however they are not intended to entirely replace existing commercial Regional routes which typically operate on less than 800 Kilometer distances you want to ride in a drone for 800 kilometers you want to say oh 500 Mile ride yeah no problem I'm going to fly from uh Nashville Tennessee to Washington DC in a drone yeah freaking great idea according to the foreign report Target true zero unlocking sustainable battery and
hydrogen-powered flight by 2035 lithium-ion battery electric aircraft are expected to have a maximum operating range of approximately 400 kilometers Increasing to 600 kilometers by 2050. so we're going to see we're going to get rid of the existing Fleet of airplanes that can say fly 5000 kilometers or ten thousand kilometers and replace them with things that can go 400 kilometers before you have to plug them in I mean by 2050 it'll be up to 600 kilometers it's like the problem with electric cars but times a million good luck crossing the Atlantic in one of those if
battery electric aircraft Continue to evolve electrification could be significant within a global decarbonization framework electric motor so don't despair we could come up with cool technology stuff but not really electric motors combined with other Technologies such as electric propulsion with sustainable Aviation fuels or hydrogen as in a hybrid aircraft can significantly extend the aircraft's range then we have a quote he quotes himself Here or it's pull quote governments must Define clear goals and milestones for battery electric and hydrogen propulsion to attract investors and Drive Industry action in other words that nothing about this isn't organic
nobody wants to invest in this freaking fake program nobody thinks this is a good idea so governments must make it happen advancing technology this broader range enhances the regional Market's potential positioning hybrid Aircraft as a viable alternative to new turboprop designs that can sustain substantially reduce emissions compared to smaller Jets how fast do they go oh yeah slow real slow additionally hybrid aircraft can help facilitate safety and Circ security certification processes for electric motors and hydrogen Concepts why don't you just fly the regular Jets oh yeah decarbonization fake stuff that's why because we have to
degrowth it's really Remember this is really about degrowth moreover in the short term hybrid aircraft can contribute to decarbonizing on ground operations during taxing takeoff and Landing stages so you don't have to burn fuel if you just take your drone off from the gate offering immediate environmental benefits of okay what percentage of the entire process how much how much fuel are they burning to Taxi Not that much compared to the flight just not that much you know how I know they had to burn some fuel off on this flight Arizona one time the plane was
going to be too heavy they put too much fuel in it they can't just take the fuel back out apparently so we had to go over to the staging area and run the engines with the brakes on pretty hard for like 20 minutes takes a while normally you only taxi for like 10 minutes not that high level of Engine use so it doesn't use it but that's immediate environmental benefits God I hate these people several technical efforts must be combined to successfully Implement battery Electric pause for a minute that they're literally talking about battery electric
airplanes like just give me a freaking break here what what are some of these challenges ensuring renewable charging sources oh so it won't be good enough that you have A charging thing it's going to have to be charged with like wind in the Sun this is just same as with the electric cars this is just meant not to work and then nobody can fly optimizing battery life cycles and enhancing energy density maximizing energy density can significantly improve the range and efficiency of battery electric aircraft further supporting their viability as a sustainable Aviation solution a sustainable
Aviation Solution suggests that there's a sustainable Aviation problem but I don't think there is they said it's less than three percent of the problem you have a highly valuable sector of our lives and economy that is hard to Abate as they phrase it it's hard to decarbonize but it's less than three percent of the problem and it becomes necessary to find a solution this is overall a big portion around 26 percent of emissions reduction still depends on Another important technology hydrogen that means accelerating the production of green hydrogen by 2035. that just makes hydrogen sound
like a scam a sufficient supply of green hydrogen is essential as blue hydrogen might not uh may not yield significant climate improvements compared to Conventional jet fuel oh so even regular hydrogen is not good enough because it doesn't really fix the Problem but so you have to have green hydrogen which God only knows what that is additional it what it is is it doesn't work that's what it is additionally advancements in fuel cell technology and lighter storage tanks are vital for optimizing the efficiency and range of a hydrogen-powered aircraft I think they're all propellers that
go really slow too they're really expensive if I remember right designing aircraft with Hydrogen performance in mind including strategic placement of hydrogen tanks sounds like they might blow up or something is thus crucial for maximizing their capabilities and reducing environmental impact so it does in other words they don't even work effort should also focus on Research researching and mitigating the potential impact of con of contrails formed by hydrogen-fueled aircraft containing increased water vapor oh yeah remember Because water vapor actually turns out to be a really really strong greenhouse gas so hydrogen planes it literally just
belch out clouds out of their butts like apparently a problem by prioritizing these considerations the aviation industry can unlock the full potential of hydrogen technology and drive the transition toward a sustainable and decarbonized future at no point have we ever had a real case made for why we need a decarbonized future but that's How they're going to get their power that's how they're going to regulate us into poverty and no travel regulatory environment this is the last section all these technical questions and road maps must be supported by regulation why because the growth is communism
governments and Regulatory bodies may feel overwhelmed about the steps to be followed in response in the aviation environment Federation have published a new report Target true Zero government policy toolkit to accelerate uptake of electric and hydrogen aircraft the aim of this toolkit is to provide governments so Communists with both the opportunity and the options to help develop approaches toward accelerating the development of zero emissions aircraft Technologies as part of an overall decarbonization plan for the sector isn't that just Charming oh there's more Sorry I thought that was the end there's more as Regulators framing a
net zero Aviation strategy will require a comprehensive understanding of market segments aircraft sizes airport infrastructure and the potential for renewable electricity or hydrogen Supply ain't nobody talking about building a damn nuclear plant if we were going to have to have that much electricity ain't nobody talking about it ain't nobody talking about it's like that wet bulb Temperature thing that went viral the other day so wet bulb temperatures allegedly hit 94 that is actually very serious wet bulb is not the same as dry bulb temperature so it's high humidity high irradiance and High um uh temperature
at the same time so it's dangerous wet bulb 294 it may or may not have happened it may have been propaganda but let's say that it did Happen Okay so what so then they're saying that this is proof of climate change so we have to produce less energy apparently they said it's impossible to live in 94 degree wet bulb without air conditioning okay so sounds like what we need is more air conditioning if that's going to be the case if for whatever reason the world's heating up we're probably going to need more air conditioning so
what's their solution less energy well guess What air conditioning requires a lot of energy so their solution is less no no no no the solution is not oh well we better start built this is going to be base load capacity better build some some some nuclear plants that are going to be able to handle that elevated base load capacity because if temperatures are going up and we need people to survive and be healthy we need more energy for air conditioning that they can afford and it actually works so Let's build nuclear plants and like no
it's not it's like let's cut down 16 million trees in Scotland to put windmills this is all fake this is all fake they're making a catastrophe out of thin air that they're then going to use to justify having to seize power to solve the emergency it's like what they're doing in these cities like Portland and San Francisco where they have all of this freaking shoplifting and then They're like oh we don't know what to do about it well I don't know I have this weird idea called lunch arrest people and prosecute them you know like
we used to do and it kind of worked no no we can't do that to be racist or something no why don't you just do that but what's their solution instead well we have a list let's put facial recognition cameras on the entrances to stores which so we can build out the infrastructure we'll keep the criminals out yeah and You're also going to be able to decide based on social credit who gets in and who doesn't get in they're going to be able to apply a social credit system at the entryway to shops just like
in China and people are like yeah that's a solution because they don't want to go back to police because they believe police are racist isn't it neat how that all worked policing 4.0 it's freaking cameras that don't let you in because your social credit score isn't good Enough so when they debank Nigel farage for example for having the wrong political opinions they could just skip the whole step of debanking him and they could just say well yeah you have do whatever you want with your money you can't get into any store because you have black
social class like under mount um that and people will will clamor for it because policing is racist so we have to move away from policing Terrible so this is the same thing as Regulators framing a net zero Aviation strategy requires comprehensive understanding right of all these different things this understanding May differ across countries but governments must Define clear goals and milestones for battery electric and hydrogen propulsion based on these insights to attract investors and Drive Industry action which we talked about before as a pull quote that means it doesn't work Nobody wants to invest in
this so they have to create government bogus reasons to drive investment sounds like one of those scams like solyndra all over again building stakeholder Partnerships in other words the Tyranny the the the the the the Soviet building stakeholder Partnerships will help to assist this objective by identifying priority actions while alignment on Aviation strategies with economy-wide plans for hydrogen Renewable energy development is also essential for Progress sounds like it's degrowth so it's not progress by definition it's literally regress regress not progress but fine on the other hand governments must better understand how to create an enabling
environment supporting International civil aviation organization initiatives while facilitating the development and deployment of alternative propulsion Aircraft through research infrastructure support and Regulatory updates notice that government's job isn't to get the hell out of the way and let the aviation industry do what it does which is to manufacture and operate aircraft to get people and goods into different places at the maximum of efficiency so that they can you know afford to buy tickets and though this can work out really great to raise people's standards of living that's not what it has to do Governments must produce
an enabling environment to support captured organization initiatives that's what they have to do facilitate communism while facilitating also the development and deployment of Alternatives whatever their scam is again it's the same scam all over again as the Aviation industry's Security and safety certifications are crucial to public acceptance harmonizing certification approaches is potentially The most important step for accelerating progress oh everything again they're gonna go after the certification processes and put them under communist control that's what they always do isn't it pick an industry that's what they do that's what they do in the travel Industries
what they do in the hotel industry if you want to be a certified provider of travel services this is not me making stuff up I just don't remember what the Actual letters are I think it's CNP or the letters but I don't remember what they stand for if you want to be certified if you want a license just like if you want to be a licensed realtor or a licensed teacher or a licensed physician or a licensed whatever you're going to have to go through the brainwashing program and be part of the the the uh
the regime sustainability goals that's the only way they'll let you get a license it's not Legitimate it doesn't mean that you are on the right if you're able to do your job well it means that you're able to follow the Soviets orders that's the economy that they're trying to build out we'll read that again as the aviation industry security and safety certifications are crucial to public acceptance harmonizing certification approaches is potentially the most important step for accelerating progress and then the last Paragraph and it is really the last paragraph This Time I see the bottom
they remind us why this is so important the global aviation industry is responsible for just under three percent of global carbon emissions imagine writing that and trying to give people a sense like oh this is really important it's just under three percent guys just under three percent did you even consider it's just under three percent it's just under three percent it's like If I gave you a hundred bucks and said you know what you have a hundred bucks you can buy whatever you want for lunch thanks for coming to my conference here's 100 gift card
go buy whatever you want and you saw a 2.75 coffee and you're like oh I don't know if I can spend it I only have a hundred dollars that's literally just under three percent coffee is 275 280 and you're like I don't know I don't have enough money on My gift card that has a hundred bucks on it that's literally what that means imagine writing that and trying to get people to think that this is a necessary impetus to totalitarian action to more government influence to ruin everything and to destroy the existing industry with all
this crap technology that they admit throughout the entire you know cheerleading article doesn't work it is responsible for just under three percent of global carbon emissions and Projected to emit more as travel demand rises in emerging economies there is no single measure to decarbonize the sector in realizing Net Zero communist objective will require a broad focus and maximizes the potential of technological advancements Financial incentives and Partnerships so lots of cronyism corruption and scamming but doing so will put the sector on track with its decarbonization roadmap it doesn't put it on track with like Reality it
doesn't put it in track with success it puts it on track with its decarbonization program which is now being foisted on it through totalitarian power this is what we have to we we have to stand up to I'm telling you it is very important to realize that the entire travel and tourism industry from hotels to Airlines to everything else is being destroyed from within and they are doing so under the auspices of degrowth Decarbonization lowering emissions Net Zero these are the words all off the justification of not climate change but climate crisis except they actually
redefined climate change to mean climate changes to the climate that are caused by human activity so that when they say climate change it means something very specific not that the climate is changing but that humans are causing the climate to change um I'll just remind you that the very end of this phys.org article where they said ultimately this is a struggle against capital that's what this is about this is communism it requires a profound redistribution of wealth to finance public services and a universe Universal basic income such a redistribution of wealth cannot stop at the
national level International solidarity in particular support for the Global South is required for a transition Beyond growth that's what this is all about this is about communism the airline industry is being destroyed in terms of Communism under the auspices of the climate crisis with all of these words so I wanted to introduce I'm not going to just keep banging on this Vox has an article I should click on it and read it maybe the degrowth movement to flight to fight Climate change explained I bet that's just a winner from August of 21. degross opponent proponents
argued to save Earth humans need to shrink global economic activity because at our current levels of consumption the world won't hit the ipcc target of whatever the hell who cares what the ipcc Communist thing says but I wanted to introduce to you with this episode the idea of degrowth and to give you an idea that it's dipped into the Aviation industry on purpose the aviation industry which has no particular reason to be targeted including Regional flights which are almost none of the problem uh if the we say there's a problem at all is there a
decarbonate is there a sorry a uh emissions problem doubt it that's causing a z Global Climate crisis probably not but okay maybe there is one how much of the problem is Aviation under three percent oh my God not whole Not three percent oh wait it's less than three percent wow okay so it's a huge problem not and then Regional flights account for four percent of that problem four percent of three percent of what's not a problem in the first place so this becomes an emergency for degrowth and of course the propaganda right now for why
we need degrowth is that it's summer and Summer's hot so they're running a huge propaganda on how hot it is and that the climate crisis is here and we're all Going to die and not have a future uh while they go by beachfront property for the rising oceans that aren't going to rise and swallow their houses up because they know it's a freaking scam and at no point in any of these scams about degrowth whether it's less electricity less energy less air conditioning even though it's going to get hotter and therefore people are going to
die at no point in any of any of it and we talk about people dying in the Heat but people really die in the cold so less energy is really going to be people freezing to death in Winter um many times more do of course the Lancet published an article recently and what did they do they put a graph in there where they inflated the scale of heat related deaths uh compared to cold variety deaths so it looks like they're kind of on par so global warming sounds scarier than freezing to death because what happens
is when they restrict when They degrow when we go beyond growth and we strict restrict the amount of energy people are going to freeze to death it's not about people getting hot it's not about having not enough air conditioning it's about people freezing to death in the winter and instead of saying oh my God maybe this is real because we're going to treat it like it's super real so we can give them lots of power apparently it's super real we better build base load nuclear plants stat Everywhere as many as we can to deal with
the problem because throwing less energy at a problem basically never solves it throwing more energy the problem opens up all your options that are figuring it out and we have a I don't think we need to focus on so-called clean energy in terms of carbon but we have one we have a sufficiently advanced technology that could actually cover almost all of Base electricity load all over the world and Create massive standard of living increases called nuclear power but they're against it because the goal isn't to just cause degrowth of the economies and put it under
their communist control is to degrow the size of the population that's literally what the club of Rome has been about with its Beyond growth stuff it is literally about that and so having more energy and thus more ability to have standard of living and prosperity would not Facilitate the growth um I actually forgot so I'm going to come back to it now since we're here at the end about degrowth just to really drive home the point somebody sent me this on Twitter ironically as I was getting ready to sit down and record this this is
the monthly review an independent socialist magazine the issue is July August 2023 and I have a screenshot of the cover uh the the big anchor article is Frederick Ingles on Disarmament by the editors so this is communism right and so what is the subject of the July August 2023 remember this is the middle of this huge propaganda push July and August is when they've launched it what is the the what is the topic of this issue of the magazine planned degrowth ecosocialism sustainable human development that's literally what it's about and so there's a big article
about that what are the other articles that They uh advertise a big one degrowth what's in a name and then degrowth and socialism that's an essay planning the growth we can assume it's Central planning of degrowth remember this is a independent socialist magazine these are the articles in this month's issue Global poverty in the case for Democratic socialism and ecologically sustainable and Democratic economy the communal alternative in Venezuela the Ecosocialist mode of cooperation on technology and degrowth Democratic planning for degrowth nine Theses on ecosocialist d-growth degrowing China by collapse redistribution or planning and then the
picture it's not a very nice cover it just has a little squiggly drawing in the middle when you look close what it is is the literal downward spiral like going into a drain of a gray line working in a circle getting smaller and smaller and smaller in the very Center it shows it turning into a green dotted line that's actually just a circle like it looks like the edge of the drain that our economies are being sucked into and that's the idea of planned degrowth ecosocialism and sustainable human development in case you needed further evidence
that what degroth is is ecosocialism AKA communism [Music] using the environment as the excuse that's what this is about so D growth is A big fight and we had better start fighting it this is like the big push is going to be into the climate crisis followed by the need for degrowth this is going to be the bit everybody's like what are they going to turn to next now that we've got the drag queens and the queer Theory thing climate change guys climate crisis climate crisis and try to discipline yourself not to talk about it
as climate change try to cut discipline yourself That's a term that they have stolen and Co-op to try to talk about it in terms of climate crisis and that the climate crisis is a fraud the climate crisis is a scam that D growth is not a solution that degrowth impact is ecosocialism in other words it is communism using the ecological matters or climate or whatever as the excuse we've got to fight degrowth we're going to lose our Industries like Aviation thus the travel and tourism industry We're also going to lose our ability to move with
vehicles with cars we're going to lose our ability to sustain them to to realistically heat and cool our homes and our environments everything is going to get worse and that was part of the plan all along that's what Herbert Marcus said in 1964 and one-dimensional man that we have to get used to lower standards of living and less so that we can have a socialism that allegedly works that's What this is all about [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music]
