Editor’s Note: Let’s not forget what the Green New Deal is all about; generating government funding for hedge fund investors to exploit in a corporatist orgy of money-making at the expense of taxpayers. Nothing more – nothing less. And you thought the folks paying Bill McKibben and pulling his strings were just looking out for the planet!
