AN INFORMATION CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE THE BENEFITS OF RATIONING, ALONG WITH STRICTER REGULATIONS, WOULD BE REQUIRED CONDITION THE PUBLIC.
Is World War II-style rationing the answer to the planet’s “climate crisis”?
That’s the question posed in a new study by academics from the University of Leeds, England. You won’t be surprised to learn the answer is ‘yes’: rationing of various commodities, including fuel and meat, is on the cards.

The authors believe a rationing scheme would be more equitable than individual allowances, because unlike carbon taxes and carbon-credit schemes – both of which have been proposed in response to climate change – rationing would not allow the rich to “buy their way out”.
A rationing scheme could also have broader applications, the researchers claim. “The concept of rationing could help, not only in the mitigation of climate change,” says joint lead author Dr Nathan Wood, “but also in reference to a variety of other social and political issues – such as the current energy crisis.”
He added:
“The cost of living crisis has shown what happens when scarcity drives up prices, with energy prices rising steeply and leaving vulnerable groups unable to pay their bills. Currently, those living in energy poverty cannot use anywhere near their fair share of energy supply, whereas the richest in society are free to use as much energy as they can afford.”
Although the study is nothing more than a piece of research at this stage, that could change very quickly, especially as we near 2030, a key date for the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accords. It is already clear that the world will not meet its commitments.
15 MINUTE CITIES.
New schemes are already being implemented to limit personal mobility and consumption, and there will surely be more to come. Recent proposals for so-called “15-minute cities” have drawn widespread criticism across the world, including in cities such as Oxford, where pilot tests are due to take place.
From 2024, Oxford will be divided into a series of six separate “neighbourhoods” by the local council, with car-travel between them heavily restricted and subject to fines if unauthorised.
Residents of the city will be able to apply for special permits to allow them to drive into other neighbourhoods for up to 100 days a year. Otherwise, they must use public transport, bike or walk in order to move from one neighbourhood to another.
At the same time, the anxiety and catastrophism about the effects of climate change is increasing, or being increased. At the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos a few weeks ago, “climate migration” was one of the main talking-points.
