The use of a city-owned apartment for the purposes of an on-the-clock sexual affair with her NOPD security officer was certainly reason enough for the citizens of New Orleans to get rid of LaToya Cantrell as its mayor, which those citizens failed to do, but we’ve found something else which is far, far more recall-worthy than her goldbricking sex-life…

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”

C40’s dystopian goals can be found in its “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Wait, what? Why haven’t we heard about this?

Media coverage of C40 Cities’ goals has been relatively sparse. The few media personalities and news outlets who have discussed it have been heavily attacked by the corporate “fact-checkers.” In a “fact check” aimed at conservative commentator Glenn Beck, AFP Fact Check claimed that the banning of meat and dairy and limits on air travel and clothing consumption were actually “not policy recommendations.”

AFP quotes a paragraph from the original “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which reads, “This report does not advocate for the wholesale adoption of these more ambitious targets in C40 cities; rather, they are included to provide a set of reference points that cities, and other actors, can reflect on when considering different emission-reduction alternatives and long-term urban visions.”

But this paragraph, likely included in the report as a liability in the case of pushback, seems to directly contradict the meaning of “target,” which in this context can be defined as a “desired goal.” The target of eliminating meat, dairy, and private vehicles by 2030 is “based on a future vision of resource-efficient production and extensive changes in consumer choices,” the report notes — something its authors clearly hope to bring about. If these were not their goals, they would not have labeled them “ambitious targets.”

And lest you think this is just some idle BS that leftist politicians sign on to in order to get in on the grift from organizations like Bloomberg’s stupid gaggle of communists, who will commonly fete these “civic leaders” with lavish confabs and meaningless awards, there are real effects of this directive beginning to take shape…

The “fact-checker’s” insistence that C40 Cities’ explicitly stated climate goals are somehow insincere is even more unconvincing, given that we are watching them start to unfold right now. This year, in lockstep with C40 Cities’ 2030 aims, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city will place caps on the amount of meat and dairy served by city institutions, such as schools and prisons. Meanwhile, the U.K. has banned the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2030, and France has banned short-haul flights “to cut carbon emissions.”

Can you imagine New Orleans with no meat or dairy in seven years? That would mean no more white chocolate bread pudding at Palace Cafe, no more Dickie Brennan’s, Desi Vega’s or Chophouse New Orleans, or even no more chargrilled oysters at Drago’s at the Hilton Riverside, because how are you going to do chargrilled oysters without butter?

Attempting to ban all of that in seven years isn’t really a justification for a recall. It’s more a justification for…something a bit more drastic than that.

Yes, yes. The argument will go that Cantrell supports the goals of net zero carbon emissions and not necessarily a ban on meat and dairy.

But here’s the thing – whether she’s serious about this idiocy or not, the supposed adults in charge of the state ought to step in and put a stop to this stuff.

And it isn’t hard.

Next year, somebody ought to bring a bill, which will undoubtedly have strong support from the Louisiana Cattlemen’s Association and the various organizations representing dairy farmers in the state, which strips away all state support, either through the state general fund or the state bond commission, for any municipality which attempts to ban basic food staples – including such things as meat, seafood, dairy, grains, fruits or vegetables – for any reason other than contamination by bacterial or other agents harmful to the consumer.

That wouldn’t just stop Cantrell from signing on to moronic initiatives like this, it would stop any other stupid Democrats who fancy a seat at Bloomberg’s loony table from joining her. Plus it would bring into focus just how atrocious and hostile New Orleans’ leadership is to its citizens, and maybe make some of them stop and think about just how poorly they’ve been voting over the last several decades.
