These 14 US Cities Have A ‘Target’ Of Banning Meat By 2030

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, which has an ambitious target by the year 2030 of 0 kg [of] meat consumption, 0 kg [of] dairy consumption, 3 new clothing items per person per year, 0 private vehicles owned, and 1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.  

C40 s dystopian goals can be found in its The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Media coverage of C40 Cities goals has been relatively sparse. The few media personalities and news outlets who have discussed it have been heavily attacked by the corporate fact-checkers. In a fact check aimed at conservative commentator Glenn Beck, AFP Fact Check claimed that the banning of meat and dairy and limits on air travel and clothing consumption were actually not policy recommendations.  

AFP quotes a paragraph from the original The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World report, which reads, This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in C40 cities; rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points that cities, and other actors, can reflect on when considering different emission-reduction alternatives and long-term urban visions.

But this paragraph,  likely included in the report as a liability in the case of pushback, seems to directly contradict the meaning of target, which in this context can be defined as a desired goal. The target of eliminating meat, dairy, and private vehicles by 2030 is based on a future vision of resource-efficient production and extensive changes in consumer choices, the report notes something its authors clearly hope to bring about. If these were not their goals, they would not have labeled them ambitious targets.

At least San Diego is not on this list of cities.
