I called this a year ago on The Richie Allen Show. I was stunned at people’s compliance with the first lockdown. It occurred to me then, that some time in the near future, climate change might be used to justify confining us to our homes and limiting our right to travel.
I thought if they can get away with this using the excuse of a relatively harmless virus, why not climate change?
I said I believed that some day soon, driving would be rationed to reduce our carbon footprint. In a given neighbourhood, people living in houses with even door numbers, might be permitted a Sunday drive on the first and third weekends of the month.
Those living in odd numbered houses would be permitted to take the car out on the second and fourth weekends. It might sound crazy, but as Marc Morano has discovered, they are openly discussing using lockdowns to save the planet.
