Imagine if your credit history was tied to your carbon footprint, or in some cases, even replaced by it? Imagine if every transaction you made online – be it from Amazon, eBay, SkipTheDishes and so on – was calculated against the predicted amount of CO2 that could be emitted during the product’s manufacturing (where applicable), shipping, and usage, to be added to your own, personal “carbon bill?” Imagine if you could bring that bill down by walking or taking the bus instead of driving to where you need to be – verified, of course, through GPS tracking of your location? Imagine if carbon became some form of digital currency; “tokens” that you could trade in to offset the “carbon cost” of your next, big purchase?

What if there was an app that you could use to compete with your friends for the most “green points?” What if your ability to secure a loan for a small business or mortgage was tied not only to your own carbon-consumption habits, but to the potential carbon costs associated with the business you’d like to open or the house you’d like to live in?None of this is fantasy – this is precisely the type of “carbon economy” that our globalists friends have in mind for us. Much of this appears to be undergoing pilot testing in the Asia-Pacific region; particularly China and Singapore, where citizens are quite used to being under constant surveillance and subjected to repeated, government intrusion into their personal lives and activities.

Coming to a once-free nation near you: “sustainable digital finance.”

(Just so we’re all on the same page; any report produced in close conjunction with the Singaporean government that speaks of “cultural revolution” and “behavioral change” should be cause for concern.)

Another report (see above link) speaks of “gamifying” behavior change through an app tested in China, “Ant Farm.” The app tracks users’ actions — such as those I “hypothetically” listed above — and awards points based on eco-friendly behaviors; get enough points and the company will plant a tree in Inner Mongolia in your name.

Sounds cute — but what if this becomes tied into the infamous “social credit” scheme in China? What if you could lose points for doing the wrong thing?

What if Farmville was real life?

And, of course, if we’re going to radically change the rules of the global financial system, we’re gonna need all hands on deck.

It would no longer be enough for banks and other lenders to report on financial risks alone — they would have to be sustainably compliant as well.

Make no mistake: the idea behind this and other schemes is to make sustainability an inevitability. They do not want you to not go along with it; they are going to re-tailor the system so that it will be impossible for the average citizen not to participate. You will be opting-in by default.

Maybe they’ll let us dissenters, we “enemies of the climate,” live on isolated tracks of land far away from the rest of the world, like the savages in Huxley’s Brave New World? For now, at least, we can only speculate.
