I guess I’m a “total cynic.”
Ocasio-Cortez created the Green new Deal in bar somewhere. That’s why it sounds so absurd. It’s a combination of virtue-signaling and hyperbole.
It makes the Global Warming conspiracy theory look...well..like a conspiracy theory
Sorta like a Mr. Fusion, without the fusion....
I wish “conservatives” would stop agreeing that humans are changing the climate. Agreeing to that stupidity is the first step to agreeing with everything else these scientifically illiterates spew. CO2 is a naturally occurring gas that is VERY WEAK as a greenhouse gas. Water Vapor is a far more potent driver of the greenhouse effect. CO2 is NOT a pollutant AND is necessary for the survival of plants and animals. CO2 has been higher in the history of this planet AND at some of those times we’ve been in the middle of ice ages. We are in the warmer side of an ice age now and there have two recent periods where the temperatures have been warmer than they are today! AND, during this most recent warm period we’ve seen evidence of the ice caps on TWO other planets in our solar system shrinking at the same time we’ve seen the most warming. Are they trying to say that we are so responsible that we drive the climates on other planets to change too? I get so sick of “conservatives” who don’t know enough to challenge these idiots.
The sort of people who run for public office don’t want to do good ... they want to do well.
Useful idiots for the Left.
MAN has NOTHING to do with “climate change”
During the “Global Warming” cult hysteria, we saw global warming on the OTHER planets in the system also. WHY? Because the Sun is an inconstant star, some times warmer, some times cooler. Now we are leaving a period of high sunspot activity for a low sun spot activity cyle. And just like ever single other low period the planets are now cooling.
Get you head our of your butts “Conservative inc” you do NOT win anything by giving creedence to your enemies Neo Marxist poltical dogmas pretending to be “Science”.

First, define the problem:
Climate Change - Systematic changes in the earth's environment that have gone on for at least 4.5 billion years.
Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming (CMMGW) - An unverified hypothesis that mankind's burning of fossil fuels must be halted immediately because it will warm the earth's environment to catastrophic levels, destroying earth as we know it.
Mankind can't do anything about Climate Change.
The only way mankind can stop CMMGW, if it is real, is to stop burning fossil fuels. If it is real, CMMGW cannot be stopped using any plan requiring inventing new things.
It can only be stopped in the near term using technology we already have. Solar panels and wind turbines demonstrably don't work adequately. Hydro power and nuclear power do.If it is real, CMMGWcan only be mitigated with crash programs to vastly accelerate implementation of hydro power and nuclear power. Submarine sized nuclear power plants could power ships, trains, and local electric plants. With a little development, they could power semi tractor sized road vehicles.
The biggest hole in this is aircraft. There is no known technology that can fly airplanes in the short term without gasoline or jet fuel.
Anyone who claims they can stop Climate Change is simply either ignorant or stupid.
Anyone who claims CMMGW is real and can be quickly stopped without using hydro and nuclear technology is either ignorant, or stupid, or lying. I'll go for all three.
A good question to ask the Warmists is this:
If your compatriots hadn’t blocked nuclear power plant production over the last three decades, how much further along might we be towards reducing your imaginary problem, and how much closer would we be to having a solid infrastructure in place now for the electric vehicles you plan on shoving down our throats?
(might want to paraphrase some of that) ;)
What is she smoking? Politicians, winners and losers, are amoral. They seek the means to steal, lie and pervert while being unaccountable. They have lost the right to “govern with the consent of the governed”. They deserve no respect, no title, no obedience.

In promoting the Green New Deal, Congressman Markey intoned, “This deal MUST come to pass so that I, as a white male, can be taken away in chains and instituted in a gulag for wyepepo. Wait....WHAT?”
No amount of argument or rationale will convince me that has anything to do with climate change and everything to do with the socialist revolution.
