Climate hysteria is pure evil, masquerading as concern for the environment. This alarmism sees public officials create outrageous guidelines and restrictions for the common person — all supposedly to save the planet — while they live lavishly. [some emphasis, links added]
It’s just another instance of “rules for thee, but not for me.”
The latest culprit is Denmark’s far-left green party, The Alternative. At a [Copenhagen city council meeting] on April 30, one of its officials, Birgitte Kehler Holst, said that the elderly in nursing homes should have their meat intake restricted to “punish” them.
Holst was commenting on the topic of excluding nursing homes from new guidelines that government-run sites will only allow 2.8 ounces of beef, lamb, or veal per person, per week.
The New York Post reported that’s less than the quantity of meat for one McDonald’s Big Mac.
“Everyone, including the elderly, must contribute to achieving our climate goals,” Holst said.
“It is precisely the generation that has screwed up the most.”
The Danish People’s Party’s Malte Larsen absolutely excoriated Holst in a post on the social media platform X.
“I find it so grotesque that it’s hard to put into words.
“What the hell do these self-righteous climate fanatics actually think they’re doing? Our elderly have toiled and labored their whole lives. Built a fantastic society for all of us. And now they’re being punished with draconian beef rations in the holy name of the climate.
“I think it’s undignified. Embarrassing. And totally unacceptable,” he wrote.
“And the worst part of it all?
“Many of these climate fanatics who implement this kind of draconian climate measure have no problem flying back and forth to attend irrelevant climate conferences. The hypocrisy is simply dripping down the walls among these climate-saved activists. It’s time we put an end to this fanatical climate policy that makes life miserable for ordinary people, including our elderly.”
Larsen, and likely many other Danes, understand how callous, if not evil, Holst is for her remarks.
What is she personally doing to stop this crisis, aside from abusing old people?
Organizations like the World Economic Forum discourage meat consumption by ordinary folk in favor of consuming bugs — something their elite members won’t be eating anytime soon.

Rationing meat for those in nursing homes is harming the most vulnerable citizens. That action is typical of the climate change movement. The higher cost of energy has the most impact on low income citizens. In many places in Africa electric power is not available. Yet, the climate change movement is opposing building fossil fuel power plants that would provide cheap and reliable energy.
