We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Europeans now cycle more and eat less meat. Rural areas are populated by fewer cows on the ground and more electric cables overhead. Not a single coal miner is left in the EU, but green manufacturing jobs are booming. In short, a 90 percent cut by 2040 has required Europe to remodel its economy, alter its landscapes, and change its lifestyles.
What’s in your fridge in 2040? Probably fewer animal products.
Brussels and national governments have employed a variety of measures to nudge people toward more plant-based meals. Take a closer look at your fridge contents: Maybe there’s emissions labeling on packaging, like a Nutri-Score but for carbon intensity. Perhaps you bought those faux-meat sausages because they were cheaper than the real thing — the introduction of emissions pricing for food has driven up meat prices.
Some governments have introduced measures to halt the rise in living space for the average European as more people live alone, driving up demand for energy and materials. The new measures range from personal CO2 allowances to programs and tax incentives helping couples move into more compact housing once their kids have moved out.

Taxation and carbon pricing have made flights more expensive, so that weekend jaunt to Ibiza, or that business trip to a conference across Europe, isn’t happening as often. https://www.politico.eu/article/your-life-2040-if-eu-climate-plan-work/
IN 2006, RESEARCHER CLEVE BACKSTER — THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CIA'S LIE DETECTOR PROTOCOLS — PUBLISHED 36 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTS PROVING THAT PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND HUMAN CELLS IN PETRI DISHES RESPOND INSTANTANEOUSLY TO HUMAN THOUGHT AND EMOTION — EVEN AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
