Not a Joke: EU Wants to Ban All Cars From European Cities by 2050 to Fight “Global Warming”…
Leave it to the Euro-commies to make the Obama regime look semi-rational when it comes to this global warming nonsense.
(Telegraph) — Cars will be banned from London and all other cities across Europe under a draconian EU masterplan to cut CO2 emissions by 60 per cent over the next 40 years.
The European Commission on Monday unveiled a “single European transport area” aimed at enforcing “a profound shift in transport patterns for passengers” by 2050. . . .
Top of the EU’s list to cut climate change emissions is a target of “zero” for the number of petrol and diesel-driven cars and lorries in the EU’s future cities.
Siim Kallas, the EU transport commission, insisted that Brussels directives and new taxation of fuel would be used to force people out of their cars and onto “alternative” means of transport.
“That means no more conventionally fuelled cars in our city centres,” he said. “Action will follow, legislation, real action to change behaviour.”
The Association of British Drivers rejected the proposal to ban cars as economically disastrous and as a “crazy” restriction on mobility.
“I suggest that he goes and finds himself a space in the local mental asylum,” said Hugh Bladon, a spokesman for the BDA.

They won’t need cars..by then the population there will all be riding camels with crescent moon and star emblazed blankets for saddles…
Ted Kaczynski would be proud.
The only was to top this would be mass-suicide.
.
Why not just hand it over to the muzzies now?
Everyone will just ride motorcycles. Not as safe as a car and can’t toe a boat but…
The Chinese and Russians must be laughing at our stupidity till their ribs hurt. Liberalism will be the end of all of Western Civilization if something isnt done about it NOW. Later will be too late. Liberalism=Insanity
Well it is approaching April 1st. Even if the headline says it`s not a joke, I`m still not convinced.
Not only a joke but complete lunacy too.
Can’t have my cars ,can’t have my land,can’t have my God and you sure as hell can’t have my Children…
When will these green experiment ever end???? AUGHhhhhhh.
Translation: You WILL become a 3rd world country!!
Action huh?
Like locking up your fucking insane ass and throwing away the key?
One wonders at what point these fuckheads get treated to the pitchforks and lamposts
Such stupidity knows no bounds.
Can’t wait to get one of these babies! Bet it goes farther than a Chevy Volt!

Yep, perfect. Here’s why. The Commie Left and Islam can never coexist with Conservatives (encore from earlier post today) :

I have a petition!
Please sign and save the planet!
All use of atmospheric carbon in food should be banned!
Fear not, by then the Islamic states of Euroistan will have reversed this. And they will keep enough Christians around to pull their rickshaws to and from daily prayers. Will they keep praying once the West answers all their prayers for an end to our civilization? Good times. Yea, good times.
Bwahahaha ! yeh, THAT’ll happen …..
that alright the muzzies ride magic carpets and camels
The giveaway line in that report is the EU statement that this legislation “is designed to change behavior.” Social engineering, put that in your tank and see how far it runs.
No problem. At the rate Europe is going with massive debt, massive immigration & welfare costs, massive health care costs, pensions, and all cradle to grave entitlements, they won’t need cars anyway. They won’t be able to afford them in the socialist utopian states.
muslims were brought in to enforce the Agenda 21…
There is no other culture that lowers carbon output as much as islamic culture..
When the time comes to cull the muslim herd in Europe, no Christians will be around to complain..
1000 years of darkness – if these idiots had their way.
these luddites are freaking insane.
they are already doing studies to strap FART backpacks to cows. look it up. it’s real.
soon they will be taxing you for exhaling CO2. Yes that’s right OH NO we are killing mother gaia with our very own breaths! Think of all those nasty animals being greedy and exhaling out there in nature too.
WE ARE GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…….!
Of course the guys making these plans will all be dead by 2050, so they don’t care.
EU to Europeans: How ya like me now?
By that time people will listen wide-eyed as the elders explain the madness of global warming and they will laugh out loud. Or they’ll just think it’s some crazy story about the old days.
1.) What WILL those French “youths” have to burn in the streets of Paris then?
2.) George Orwell said, “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
Can’t you picture world leaders, going to a G-20 conference, in a fleet of Nissan Leaf’s? Ha ha.
Watch for the waiver list to start tomorrow – celebs, pinkos, lib-meisters, NAGs, dems, government employees, union members, etc, etc, etc
Well you go right ahead, you smelly European cowards.
I can’t imagine London without its iconic taxis and buses.
Good luck with that pipedream! HA!
