Prof Anderson admitted it “would not be easy” to persuade people to reduce their consumption of goods.
He said politicians should consider a rationing system similar to the one introduced during the last “time of crisis” in the 1930s and 40s.
This could mean a limit on electricity so people are forced to turn the heating down, turn off the lights and replace old electrical goods like huge fridges with more efficient models. Food that has travelled from abroad may be limited and goods that require a lot of energy to manufacture.
“The Second World War and the concept of rationing is something we need to seriously consider if we are to address the scale of the problem we face,” he said.
Prof Anderson insisted that halting growth in the rich world does not necessarily mean a recession or a worse lifestyle, it just means making adjustments in everyday life such as using public transport and wearing a sweater rather than turning on the heating.
“I am not saying we have to go back to living in caves,” he said. “Our emissions were a lot less ten years ago and we got by ok then.”

They fly out to exotic locations, just so they can tell you they want to subject you to rationing. It's not because they haven't heard of skype, no, it's because this is the climate religion, where the high priesthood get to travel and eat meat and, I don't know, heat their homes. And you don't, damn filthy humans overpopulating everywhere.
We need a pandemic like Dr Pianka said, that will clean some of you up. Although really Pianka didn't go far enough, the Church of Euthanasia got it right. Visualise voluntary human extinction! I wonder how many of these alleged climate scientists are part of the C of Euth. Do they like to watch the plane coming in?
