Kind of surprised no one started a thread about the New Green Deal. Of course lots of back and forth on it, and there was DiFi's old lady dismissal of middle schoolers lobbying for the future.
Pretty telling that 12 y.o. kids are taking up the mantle and fighting for the future, their future. Not only the kids who confronted DiFi but 20 kids took the day off and confronted Mitch the Turtle Boy senator.
Media is following this one and will for a while. Lots of comments about how the U.S. can't afford and it's a goofy idea that can't possibly work. And yet there's the UN report that the world has about 12 years to address man made climate change...or it's OVER.
Best I've read went something like this, "If you think the GND people are kooky, at least they're working with science and aren't totally off their rocker like climate deniers". This puts the conversation in perspective, and the fight.
The funny thing is there's even Dems who are saying it's too costly (like irreversible climate change will be cheaper) and not practical...the public is getting down on them. Seems most people want something done about climate and yet these pols are dragging their feet.
Comments on the GND, feasibility, reality, costs? Or is addressing climate change and the economy too much work and hassle...so just screw it?
