Democrats propose 'Green New Deal' to counter climate change originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
What's being called a "Green New Deal," a wide-ranging effort to tackle climate change, with overtones of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's sweeping 1933 New Deal to counter the Great Depression, was unveiled by Democrats Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Thursday on Capitol Hill.
"Climate change and our environmental challenges are one of the biggest existential threats to our way of life, not just as a nation but as a world, and in order for us to combat that threat we must be as ambitious and innovative in our solution as possible," Ocasio-Cortez said at a news conference.

YEP!..................
Wonder who wrote this plan for her?
I’m thinking for the first time since November...that Trump might actually win this!
This is like having a little kid in Congress. I read in another article she wants to do away with flight and replace planes with trains. Yes, let’s build a giant bridge from New York to London that will have train tracks and trains that run on rubber bands.
I lost track. Is this 13 or 14 of sandy’s green plan posted today.
Even *IF* there is SOME global warming taking place, it is beyond ridiculous to positively attribute any portion of it to human activity. It's the only "science" that skips past the tough scrutiny that always accompanies new claims and/or theories. It's nothing more than an "ends justifies the means" thing for the one-world global governance bunch.
I have no idea. Maybe you should keep a little notebook nearby so you can keep track.
I get this image in my head of a bunch of lefties sitting in an apartment building sprawled across a couch and chairs, stoned out of their minds smoking pot, quiet as can be until one of them blurts out “How about this man: Let’s ban all airplanes and build train tracks from New York to London” And the other people say “Yeaahuuu that is awesome man, write it down”
Just a quick scan on the “agreement” indicates to me that someone would make a lot money. And there is a list of the Fidiots assigned to it.
And if this was adopted how much difference would it make? My guess less than zero.
They want billions from everyone so they can squander it
She’s a dim witted, rabid COMMUNIST NUT!
