The mythical “climate change” is a difficult trick for obedience and population control: it appears distant, even though demagogues shout that the slightest deviation from the artificial aquarium temperature, the +/-24 degrees, which is now considered the “normal” for air conditioners, is proof of the impending climate Armageddon! It mainly appears difficult to personalize. The experience of personalizing the “fear of contamination and death” with the hygiene terror campaign, however, showed that mass behavioral changes (and their control) definitely require a good dose of personalization.
No problem! The tools are ready. In the early 2000s, the British oil giant (with a lot of blood on its pumps…) BP commissioned “experts” to find ways for it, along with all the “big sisters” of the industry, to shed guilt for the “greenhouse phenomenon” at the time, sharing the blame with the public.
The result was presented in 2004: individual, personal, “carbon footprint”!! In short: the individual, personal contribution of each person, based on lifestyle, transportation, type of diet, electrical appliances for daily use, heating/cooling and the type of … in carbon dioxide emissions…
It is monstrous, it is distorted but it is here, ready and mainly having the power! The “test” with the plastic straws caught on (as indeed did social alienation for covid 19) showing that there is a large market for industrially manufactured “personal social responsibility” canned goods!!! The French state (and not only this one) is “fermenting” it: because, for example, an air travel from Paris to Athens “charges you personally” with 971 kg of CO2, you should “balance it out” by becoming a vegetarian for two years or moving around your city by public transport… or, if not these, working remotely from your home.
You will have some options, always under supervision. As long as you admit your guilt for the destruction of the planet…
