To save the planet, the end of private ownership is required and applies to everything, including cars, private homes, and even “city-wide design principles.”
Nothing like a good bit of scaremongering! Does anyone really care what these loons say? I would suggest they lead the way and give up all of their private property first.

I think most people my age and younger would be quite happy to pay a sub to use a car that's maintained by someone else when they need it than have a car that's losing value while accruing costs every second that you use it.
I'm assuming that they're not going to be sending out the WEF shock troopers to confiscate people's cars, so they're only really talking about new purchases.

Surely if "most vehicles are barely used" then they are not a problem. My V8 is taken out occasionally whilst school-run mum in her Zafira sits in a jam every day!
That goes with what I'm thinking regarding it being focused on new cars. It's a lot of resources used to make something that'll at best just sit around not doing anything.Joey Deacon said:
This is definitely the end game, or to make it so expensive that it is only available to the rich and powerful.
Have a look at the prices of new electric cars compared to their petrol predecessors.Have a look at the number of manufacturers who axing small affordable models out their range as they "start the journey to premium".
Its also like somebody who makes the big decisions said "Tell you what, lets introduce a new fuel that damages the older cars driven by the poorer members of society and then manufacturer a fuel shortage which makes it so expensive to buy the correct fuel that every time the customer fills up, they are damaging their own car and more importantly reducing its lifespan. That way there will eventually be a shortage of cheap used cars and poorer people will have to use public transport if they like it or not,"
Its started already.

Yeah, they're only an umbrella organisation containing people from Vanguard, Blackrock, Blackstone, the IMF/world bank, FATF, the BIS and politicians (amongst others), that have openly bragged they have "infiltrated" 50% of the world's governments.What influence/leverage could they possibly wield?
Surely if
"A WEF paper argues private vehicles are not good for the planet’s health and most vehicles are barely used."
then most vehicles, whose carbon production footprint is a sunk cost to environment if it exists already, are not used then they are not the porblem to the world resources.
The WEF should argue that consumer subscription/lease model of vehicles where millions of vehicles are needlessly produced and thus consumption of world resources, is unsustainable and we should all look to mend and reuse i.e. keep your exisitng cars going, look after them, get maximum life out of them to offset the resources used to create them.

Do you really think this will come to anything though? It all sounds a bit tinfoil hat - I suspect its just another think piece to get people riled up. What influence/leverage could they possibly wield?
