The Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night declared what it called a “climate emergency” with more global significance than World War II, and demanded an immediate effort to “humanely stabilize population” and “reverse ecological overshoot.”
The resolution, which invokes the global conflict between the Axis and Allies, charges that Americans bear an “extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises” facing the environment.
“[D]uring World War II, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender and other differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization, building and repairing Liberty ships, converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities,” the resolution reads.
A similar effort is necessary today to confront an even greater threat, according to the document.
“[W]e can rise to the challenge of the greatest crisis in history by organizing politically to catalyze a national and global climate emergency effort, employing local workers in a mobilization effort building and installing renewable energy infrastructure,” the resolution says.
More than 60 million people died during World War II, according to most estimates — a huge portion of the global population.
But according to the Berkeley City Council, another thinning of the herd might be needed.
The resolution notes that “reversing ecological overshoot and halting the sixth mass extinction requires an effort to preserve and restore half Earth’s biodiversity in interconnected wildlife corridors and to humanely stabilize population.”
The resolution, introduced in the ultra-progressive city by councilwoman Cheryl Davila, then invokes Pope Francis’ comment that humanity is on the verge of global “suicide” and that “God’s creation” is at stake.
Davila’s resolution also calls for a global climate summit in San Francisco in September and a push to “educat[e] our citizens about the climate emergency.”
The document’s most substantial promise is for Berkeley to become a “carbon sink” by 2030 — a term that means the city’s greenhouse gas emissions will be in the negative.
In addition to population control and a national mobilization effort, according to the Berkeley City Council, residents should avoid “consumerism” and “narcissism.”
I am personally advocating the inhumane removal of the Berkeley city council….
I’m in!
I’ll drive, and bring some unique tools…
Drag em nekked down a dirt road behind my souped up power chair?
“But according to the Berkeley City Council, another thinning of the herd might be needed.”
Can you believe this garbage? Let’s start by thinning Pelosi and her wet back help.
They’re planting the seed now to make genocide more acceptable to the general public.
“….residents should avoid “consumerism” and “narcissism.”….”
Here they’re hinting at the acceptance of poverty, and denial of one’s self in favor of the (communist) party.
