A major Australian bank has launched a green social credit score system where a customer’s carbon footprint is linked to ‘carbon allowance’ limits.
Australia’s Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has partnered with Cogo, a “carbon management solutions” company, to launch the new feature.
Summit.news reports: The bank gives the customer the option to “pay a fee” to offset their carbon footprint, with the average listed as 1,280 kilograms, a long way from the ‘sustainable’ figure of 200 kilograms.

A person’s carbon footprint is calculated and then an ‘equivalent’ metric is show to make the customer feel guilty about it, such as “8 trees being cut”.
“By combining our rich customer data and CoGo’s industry-leading capability in measuring carbon outputs, we will be able to provide greater transparency for customers so that they can take actionable steps to reduce their environmental footprint,” CommBank Group executive Angus Sullivan said in a statement.
The bank has promised to refine the calculation down to showing how much CO2 individual purchases are responsible for.
While initially presented as a handy way for someone to track their consumption habits and the supposed impact they have on the environment, some fear that such schemes could one day become mandatory and place limits on purchases of customers who exceed their ‘carbon allowance.’
As we previously highlighted, allied with climate lockdowns, technocrats want to exploit hysteria over climate change to increase financial control over individuals.
Such a proposal was presented in the science journal Nature by four environmental “experts” as a means of reducing global carbon emissions.
Everyone would be issued with a ‘carbon allowance card’ “that would entail all adults receiving an equal tradable carbon allowance that reduces over time in line with national [carbon] targets.”
The authors make it clear that the program would be a “national mandatory policy.”
Carbon units would be “deducted from the personal budget with every payment of transport fuel, home-heating fuels and electricity bills,” and anyone going over the limit would be forced to purchase additional units in the personal carbon market from those with excess to sell.”
Of course, the wealthy would be easily able to afford the offsets, and many of them are directly invested in the trading mechanisms that the scheme would be based on.
The proposal makes clear that the means of measuring a person’s uptake of carbon units for travel would function “on the basis of the tracking the user’s movement history.”
The authors note that mass compliance with COVID-19 lockdown regulations has greased the skids for further intrusive tyranny and that, “people may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate” as a result.

Anytime a person hears the word “Green,” as related to personal philosophy, think “Fascist.”
Spiteful and nasty petty minded class warfare The issue is INDUSTRIES not us and we became seduced into buying electrification in our lives by advertising who deceived us and the manufacturers of the evil appliances, the electricity sucking diesel drinking gas guzzling devices are the ones who should be paying is for their greedy motivations to profit from enticing us into excessive carbon consumptions. Ford Honda GM Mitsubishi etc etc etc. And the dirty disgusting corrupt government’s that allowed them
They all make want to spew Eg everyone had chip heater hws in their bathroom that burned the junk mail and bi6s n pieces of garden pruning clippings etc General waste paper rubbish and heated all the water a household needed They were cheap as chops to buy and very efficient So they banned then as dangerous because 1 exploded, so they claimed,most likely a lie ,and forced everyone into gas or electric that were hideously over priced bits of rip off rubbish that resulted in aiding in importing every living thing and the planet itself That’s them ALWAYS Always that’s what the end result of their progress turns put to he And their latest salvation scams no different adjust another fraud .
Imperiling all life and the planet it types not importing as some pos changes it to .

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for
quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience
with something like this. Please let me know if
you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I
look forward to your new updates.
Anyone who remains a customer at that bank for a moment longer than necessary is a certifiable moron.
So does anybody address the fact that CO2 is not a problem? It is not warming the planet, but benefiting plant growth. The IPCC is promoting a false narrative, which is their mandate. They would lose their funding if they told the truth. All their models run hot. None of their reports are based on actual measurements in the real world. And why is that?
Look up who founded the IPCC, and the background of the UN. It’s all the same crowd of crooks.
Using physics, and real-world measurements, doubling CO2 concentrations would give one degree of warming. One degree.
Help! The sky is falling! Run for cover.
