| Okay, 1-8 Prager 776. Most defrightening article of the weekend, and that's saying something. | |
| It's from Reason Magazine. | |
| To stop climate change, Americans must cut energy use by 90%, live in 640 square feet, and fly once every three years, says the study. | |
| There are a lot of people who would sign on to this. | |
| Needless to say, it starts in academia. | |
| In order to save the planet from catastrophic climate change, Americans will have to cut their energy use by more than 90%. | |
| And families of four should live in housing no larger than 640 square feet. | |
| 640 square feet is 20 by 30. Family of four should live in a place 20 by 30. So 4 into 600 is 150. So per person, it's 150 square feet. | |
| So it's pretty much a jail cell of space. | |
| Are these people serious? | |
| You read this article. | |
| You think they're serious? | |
| So the professors who came up with this, they would like that? | |
| To live with three others in 650 square feet? | |
| That's according to a team of European researchers led by University of Leeds. | |
| By the way, I attended University of Leeds. | |
| Sustainability researcher Yefim Vogel. | |
| In their new study, socioeconomic conditions for satisfying human needs at low energy use, in global environmental change, they calculate that public transportation should account for most travel. | |
| They hate the car. | |
| The left hates the car. | |
| Yeah, it uses energy, and worst of all, gives people freedom. |
