Warren: Green New Deal Doesn't Go 'Far Enough'(WARPATH ALERT!)

The Green New Deal promised a “massive transformation of our society,” with goals that include eliminating air travel, cars, fossil fuels, and nuclear energy, as well as retrofitting every building in America to be energy efficient. While most sane people understood the plan was a fantasy, albeit a dangerous one, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Thursday she doesn’t believe the $93 trillion proposal goes far enough.

“What I want to see us do is get off an oil economy, and not only for ourselves, but for the rest of the world,” Warren said during a CNN town hall event.

“I want to see us move entirely to green, and let me say on this, I not only support a Green New Deal, I don’t think it goes far enough,” she added. “I also have a blue new deal cause we have got to be thinking about our oceans as well that we need to protect.”

They all have to go to Davos every year to complain about the environment.

What we need is transgender children making affirmative choices, to empower colorful communities to enact positive forward change and move us to an economy free of carbon and its inherent bias that respects all individuals regardless of documentation status.

She scares me as much as Bernie does. Maybe more as she is willing to shove it down ones throat.

She wants a Great Leap Forward and if that costs 50 million lives or so, well, [shrug] that’s a price she’s willing to pay.

I don't think she's that stupid. She hopes we are. Or at least a sufficient plurality to get her a spot on the 2020 Democratic ticket.

Instead of worrying that the earth will disappear in ten years if fossil fuels aren’t eliminated, Democrats should be worrying that the Democratic party will disappear in the November elections unless extremists like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are eliminated from Democratic leadership positions.

“...the Venus lander melted and think it has anything to do with Earth.”


That’s when I remember the “Carbon Dioxide causes global warming” idea beginning. For those not old enough to remember, Venus used to be considered earth’s warmer twin. Clouds kept us from seeing the surface, so who knew what Venus was like. Since it is closer to the sun, it was thought to be warmer—maybe tropical. Then the first space probes sent back the truth—hellishly hot 850º F and the CO2 was at 95%.

Well, there you have it. CO2 turned earth like Venus into Hell. It might do the same to earth. CO2 in earth’s atmosphere isn’t measured in % but rather parts per million—412 parts per million.

How can anyone take these stone-age Dems seriously? If you took away fossil fuels, there would be no cars, planes, plastics (say goodbye to smart phones, TVs, X-boxes, computers, etc). What would the stupid Warren Wonks and Bernie Bros do with their time?

The Green New Deal is not about global warming or climate change or sustainable energy or saving the planet in 12 years.

It's about the socialist revolution and that's why all of these democRATIC Socialists like Warren want more of it.

What convinced me it was a ruse to change our economic system from capitalism, which is powered by fossil fuels, to la-la land socialism/communism, was the part in it that said it included "A LIVING WAGE FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO WORK". WTF?!

Bingo! I knew right there that what the Left claimed it was, was just another of their big lies.

Fossil fuels, specifically petroleum, is a component on every single product we use today in the modern world. Everything.

It doesn't just power the capitalist economic system as a fuel, but it is used to make everything we consume, wear and use in our lives.

More unintended consequences of not-so-well-thought-out policies of the ignorant Left.

But has the media or anybody else pointed this out to these Marxists and called them out in public on these misrepresentations they make to the public?

Nope.
