Is H.G. Wells still alive and writing?
Is H.G. Wells still alive and writing for the British Government? Or, is there something in the water over there?
According to the Times Online, the British Government is writing fantasy to motivate people into believing that climate change will cause an apocalyptic change by 2035.
One incredible scenario, outlined in a report entitled Land Use Futures: Making the Most of Land in the 21st Century, John Beddington, the Government’s chief scientific adviser, who directed the research, is:
Heathrow would be converted into a giant reservoir by 2035, there could be severe restrictions on flying and driving and farmers would be forced to sell their land to giant agricultural businesses. Greenhouse gas emissions would be controlled by carbon rationing for individuals, which would lead to “significant shifts in lifestyle as everyone tries to stay within budget”.
The Government would ease pressure on the South East by planning to “disperse citizens to three new towns in Dumfries and Galloway, Northumberland and Powys”.
Evidently they felt one fantasy wasn’t enough to scare everyone so they came up with two more of them.
The second one is:
In the most extreme scenario, world leaders hold an emergency summit in 2014 when it becomes clear that the impacts of climate change are going to be far worse and happen much sooner than previously envisaged.
The Government responds by taking control of vast tracts of land and using it to grow wood and crops for biomass power stations. An agricultural productivity Bill requires farmers to increase yields per hectare but most have to sell up because they lack the resources to comply. “The average farm size in the UK increases from 57 hectares to 500 hectares; farms in the East and South East of England increase to 5,000 hectares.”
If that one isn’t bad enough for you…
In another scenario, the Government redefines land as a national resource and the rights of landowners are balanced with “society’s rights to public benefits from the services produced by it”.
They must have a lot of money to spend on this foo-foo because they had over 300 scientists, economists and planners working on this for who knows how long.
It really sounds to me like perhaps someone is planning on step two after carbon trading screws them out of billions. The next logical thing would be to screw them out of their land and give it to their buddies in big agriculture.
What better way than to have a climate emergency?

I was going to say….you couldn’t make it up….too late they already have.
My first thought was…who’s going to swallow this rubbish – but then I thought: carbon traders, eco-loons, politicians, Moonbat, etc. etc.
Us British tax payers are funding this utter rubbish. As DougS says above “you couldn’t make it up”.
I’ve got to be dreaming this! Why is it that some people feel the need to take charge of the rest of us, rule our lives, change our lives, feel important, swell out their chests and display their authority. Just bugger off and leave people alone to get on with their lives…
People of Britain: run for the hills! Maybe you will survive the drought and the wetness and all of that in Galloway.
God allmighty, this AGW-nonsense is getting weirder by the day!
The whole report [which is loony] shows however the Marxist/Facist thinking behind the fix it ideas.
It is obvious that talks with other countries have been held, the same Facism has popped up there of all places ,with regard to land use and farmers rights.[UN influence].
In “warmer times in Britain”,it was possible to grow crops on the uplands of Bodmin moor,Welsh hills,Derbyshire mooreland,Yorkshire moors,Dales ,etc.
In this case Britain would welcome a new sh,don’t say it loud,WARM PERIOD.
Pity we are more likely to catch a cold spell.
