The climate change cult has been scheming for years to control every aspect of our lives.
Now they’ve found a new way to trap ordinary Americans in their homes.
And Europe has one scary plan to control travel that has Democrats taking note.
Green authoritarians push "carbon passports" to control your vacation plans
The environmental extremists aren’t satisfied with just lecturing you about your car or your air conditioning.
They want to monitor and restrict where you can travel – and how often you can see the world.
Ross Bennett-Cook, a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, recently said carbon passports will become a reality at some point, according to BelfastLive.¹
Carbon passports would allocate a personal annual carbon allowance for United Kingdom residents and track travelers’ carbon footprint.²
Want to visit family in Europe? That’ll cost you carbon credits.
Planning a dream vacation to Italy? Better hope you have enough credits left in your government-controlled account.
The scheme would "forbid them from exceeding a set limit of credits used for transportation, particularly for international flights."³
Think about that for a moment.
Unelected bureaucrats would decide whether you’ve traveled "too much" and can ground you like a teenager who missed curfew.
The climate control agenda goes back years
This isn’t some new idea that just popped up overnight.
The green authoritarians have been plotting this for nearly two decades.
Back in 2008, the U.K. Parliament seriously debated something called "personal carbon trading" – the same concept with a different name.⁴
Here’s how their twisted system would work: "Individuals are allocated an allowance of carbon from within an overall national cap on the quantity of carbon emissions produced by individuals within the jurisdiction."⁵
In plain English, the government decides how much you’re allowed to live your life.
They continued: "People surrender their credits as they make certain purchases that result in emissions, such as electricity and fuel."⁶
"Those who need or want to emit more than their allowance have to buy allowances from those who can emit less than their allowance."⁷
Notice the language there – "those who need or want."
These people think your desire to visit your grandchildren or take a once-in-a-lifetime trip is just a selfish want that needs government approval.
Europe’s overtourism excuse reveals the real agenda
The timing of this carbon passport push isn’t coincidental.
European destinations are dealing with what they call "overtourism" – too many people wanting to visit beautiful places.
Instead of building infrastructure or managing crowds better, they want to limit who gets to travel at all.
Bennett-Cook made the agenda crystal clear: "The negative impacts of tourism on the environment have become so severe that some are suggesting drastic changes to our travel habits are inevitable."⁸
There’s that word – "inevitable."
They’re not asking for your opinion. They’re telling you what’s going to happen.
The environmental movement has always been about control, not conservation.
These carbon passports would create a two-tiered system where wealthy elites can buy their way to unlimited travel while working families get stuck at home.
Transportation becomes the new target
The green authoritarians aren’t stopping with travel restrictions.
The U.K. Office for National Statistics found that transportation contributed more to greenhouse gas totals than the electricity sector in 2024.⁹
That gives them the perfect excuse to control how you get to work, visit family, or take vacations.
First, they came for your cars with Bidenmobile mandates.
Then they targeted your gas stoves and appliances.
Now they want to control your ability to leave your hometown.
The pattern is always the same – create a crisis, propose government control as the solution, then expand that control to every area of your life.
The real agenda behind climate authoritarianism
Carbon passports aren’t about saving the environment.
They’re about creating a system where government bureaucrats control your most basic freedoms.
And you can bet Democrats are watching Europe’s carbon passport experiment with great interest.
The Left always looks to Europe for their next big authoritarian scheme.
Universal healthcare, gun confiscation, speech restrictions – the pattern is always the same.
European governments test out freedom-crushing policies, then American Democrats import them here.
This carbon passport idea is tailor-made for the Democrat Party’s control agenda.
Want to attend your daughter’s wedding in another country? Better check with the carbon police first.
Need to travel for business? Hope you’ve saved up enough government-approved credits.
This is the future the climate cult wants – a world where your ability to move freely depends on their permission.
The same people who fly private jets to climate conferences want to track and limit your family vacation.
They’ll exempt themselves from these restrictions while ordinary Americans get trapped in an electronic prison of their own design.
Democrats have already shown they love using "emergencies" to control people’s movement.
Remember how quickly they locked down entire states during COVID-19?
How they restricted travel between states and even within cities?
Carbon passports would give them that same power permanently – no pandemic required.
The carbon passport scheme represents everything wrong with the environmental movement.
It’s not about cleaner air or protecting nature – it’s about power and control over your daily life.
And with Democrats always eager to copy Europe’s worst ideas, Americans need to wake up to what’s coming before these green authoritarians lock down our freedom to travel permanently.
