The Green New Deal is an ambitious plan to fight the effects of climate change. It’s the only American plan that actually acknowledges the size of the impending crisis. And it contains some difficult truths that we might not want to hear.
Read the Green New Deal resolution here: ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites...
For additional context I recommend this piece by Vox’s Umair Irfan on the United Nations climate report, where the world’s best climatologists tell us how urgent of a problem this is: www.vox.com/2018/10/8/1794883...
This piece from Vox’s David Roberts, shows that world leaders really aren’t taking this urgency seriously. www.vox.com/2016/10/4/1311859...
Finally, you should read this explainer of the Green New Deal, followed by this story (in list form) by Hannah Northey:
www.vox.com/energy-and-enviro...
www.eenews.net/stories/106010...
I also enjoyed this piece, from Kate Aronoff of the Intercept, that imagines a world after the Green New Deal: theintercept.com/2018/12/05/g...

If you want to read about the Green New Deal in the lens of the 2020 election, I recommend this piece explaining Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposal: www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2019/5/4/18527458/climate-change-jay-inslee-for-president-2020 Inslee has the most ambitious climate proposals; it is, as Vox's David Roberts writes, the Green New Deal translated into policy.

@Michael Kelleher The civilization we created today in the last 7 or so thousand years requires the climate of the 7 or so thousand years. Climate change moves us out of the climate the Earth has had since the last ice age. That's the problem. We built our cities, countries and farming industry with the climate we've recently have, in the future it will be different. Which means we can't use historical data to guide decisions. It means farmers may not be able to produce as much food due to possible less viable farmland. It means we will have to rebuild our infrastructure to cope with more storms in those places that we have more people living in. It also means places will be abandoned due us unable to further live there, Look up future of Christmas Island. Don't forget that we humans plan on having more of us on this planet, meaning more will be affected. The negatives from the unknowns of climate change are in fact dunting.

Because everything, from the invasion, to the overthrow of hostile governments, to the imposition of 'nice' governments, to the taking of resources for the US' 'benefit', all goes through PRIVATE CORPORATIONS. Private corporations, who lobby the government to introduce legislation that will benefit them, because they have the millions and billions, instead of bringing prosperity to the people. Lobbying is no different to bribing elected Congresspeople. The taxpayer money that is spent on ALL OF THIS is too bewildering to even fathom. That's the cost of Pax Americana.

As opposed to $6.6 trillion every year for ten years, not including the social benefits, which is 34% of the US GDP? And even if we get to 0 emmisions in the US that only brings the world down 15% when we need 50%. The best way is a global initiative that eases the way and allows the world to shift away from it by incentiving clean energy, not getting rid of all fossil fuels in 10 years, which is impossible without putting a gun to people's head and destroying the economy, all to not even get enough global emmisions down. Should we do something? Yes. Is the Green New Deal the answer? Unless you want to not even fully solve the problem and destroy the American economy, then no.

The dominant discourse of the mainstream environmental movement is about the preservation of our lifestyles by adopting new 'green' technologies. That principle tenet is placed above everything else that the mainstream environmental agencies may claim or actually do. Preserving the very culture and lifestyle which is killing the planet. The crux of the environmental movement today, which is western (and predominantly white) is about the continuation of capitalism and exploitation (i.e using the planet to feed human greed - not addressing the actual needs). Leading environmental organisations, along with scores of scientists and environmental activists actually view the Earth as a resource and not as a living entity. During the last 30 years, the environmental movement has been gradually botched and hijacked by neoliberalism and big-money, manifesting via many new eco-friendly mantras, new technologies and the green new 'deal'. What deal can we as a species make with mother nature?

The Green New Deal is a socialist manifesto disguised as a climate change plan. Most of the document talks about non-environmental social issues. The entire Green New Deal goes into no detail whatsoever on how we would implement any of its solutions, their cost, or even the actual impact on the environment. It's a wish list with no substance, a "plan" devised by people who have no plan but want to seem like they do. Most people will never read the Green New Deal, but they'll see the catchy title and they'll hear about how we have 12 years before our environment is destroyed. They'll vote out of fear, not realizing that what they're voting for is a Trojan horse for socialist policies that will do nothing for our environment.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 34 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. It is stored inside the permafrost in the form of methane hydrate, and it is estimated that 2,000 to 10,000 gigatons of methane are currently stored. That's an average of 6 trillion tons. As the oceans get warmer, the solubility of gases in the water decreases, and carbon dioxide and oxygen get released into the atmosphere. This causes more warming, and the lower amounts of oxygen in the water create dead zones. Higher average temperatures also increase the risk of forest fires, which release more CO2 into the atmosphere, and gradually causes desertification.

A Green New deal without nuclear energy may not be feasible.
@1000jamesk 5 жыл бұрын
Nuclear fission is not feasible as well. Requires a shitload of energy to extract and refine the radioactive ore, and generates a bunch waste that is currently useless due to international treaties. Nuclear fusion would be a huge breakthrough, though.

@xchhhhhhhh 5 жыл бұрын
@@1000jamesk Peer reviews have indicated that the waste you have mentioned is significantly less than that produced for coal, oil, and any other economical method that we know of currently. Mind the fact that due to a mix of regulations and lack (or inefficient) government intervention certain nations just lead to the lack of funding for nuclear power. Fusion would be a good goal to have, but from a current standpoint, we can no longer rely on waiting for research to push out a break-even as time is ticking. Nuclear energy has had a severe amount of stigma surrounding it, some fears founded with evidence that are addressed, but others are almost plain and deliberate misinformation, thus creating a perception of an ultra-toxic and dangerous cloud of unknowable technology consolidated by the few.

@@samuelanderson9416 According to researchers at Stanford there are approximately 1.47 million solar panels in use in America. According to Americans for Lightsource it would take about 900,000 solar panels to run a steel mill, more if its integrated. There are 9 integrated mills in America and lots more non integrated. So if we make 10 times more solar panels than currently exist we can make the steel for renewable energy. But you can double that for mining and logistics. The solar farm in Carolina has 5040 solar panels and takes up 4.8 acres so 111,000 acres. That doesnt even include the actual manufacturing facilities to process the raw steel. Where will you put all this? Turning the state of Kansas into a solar farm wouldnt scratch the surface. Solar panel manufacturering is an extremely electricity heavy process.

It’s up to the producing nations to make the difference. Also why did they specify that people of color will be hit hardest? If anything it’s farmers that will be hit harder than any black person working a city job.
