Even among backers of the nonbinding resolution introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., its broad strokes could sow disputes about what the Green New Deal means in practice. Ocasio-Cortez herself described the resolution as a "request for proposals" designed to elicit legislation from multiple lawmakers.
"This is the first chapter of the book," said Elizabeth Gore, senior vice president of political affairs at the Environmental Defense Fund, a nonprofit advocacy group. "Where you start out on these proposals is not where you end up."
POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICT
One area where the Green New Deal activists could clash with other environmental groups, lawmakers and other officials are their demands for a suite of "economic justice" policies, which include items like single-payer health care, along with guaranteed jobs and housing.
The Green New Deal resolution mentions these issues in passing, but there's no party consensus around them and health care is already shaping up as a defining debate in the 2020 Democratic primaries.

Pop Corn futures spike!
They call it the Green New Deal and most of it is centered around social justice and not fixing anything. Still not sure how free college and giving people money for not working impacts climate.
I watched a Ted Talk yesterday. The speaker was a climate scientist who said this actually started back in 1980 with Reagan and the Montreal Protocol. Things like the reduction of lead from gasoline and the idea of developing partnerships between environmental groups and businesses in the energy field were items that made this initiative a success.
Now, knowing what we know, and fixing the problem, what is the left actually moaning about when they discuss Climate Change?
Bump for later
The whole of it was resolved when I forget who came up with the idea that if it was warming then the miners had no case. So the scientists were asked to change their models and lo and behold global warming was born and the miners went back to work without any more money.
There used to be a movie on youtube narrated by some famous brit explaining this whole process - else try this The Great Global Warming Swindle
Loved it when Limbaugh said he’s anxious to book a first class ticket on the train to Hawaii.
“Move over, Ocasio-Cortez. The Green New Deal’s got some competition. (more socialism)
indeed. i believe each of the Dem clown car 2020 primary candidates have come up with their own “deals”:
“The Greener New Deal”
“The Green Newer Deal”
“The Greener Newer Deal”
“The New Green Deal”
“The Newer Green Deal”
“The New Greener Deal”

“The Newer Greener Deal”
You left out the ‘Neener, Neener, Mine is Greener New Deal”.
