"AND SO IT BEGINS .......... UNITED NATION’S ECONOMIST CALLS FOR ‘CLIMATE LOCKDOWNS’ 

...A leading U.N. economist who advises European governments last week sent up a trial balloon via an article titled “Avoiding a Climate Lockdown,” arguing that in “the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again — this time to tackle a climate emergency.”
“Under a ‘climate lockdown,’ governments would limit 

• private-vehicle use, 
• ban consumption of red meat, and
•  impose extreme energy-saving measures, while
•  fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling,” 

wrote Mariana Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor who is a member of the U.N. Committee on Development Policy. 

“To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.”
