The Green New Deal is Not a Deal After-all

Richard Keith Latman - Center of the Field

The Green New manifesto says that the US is responsible for a disproportionate amount of carbon emissions, as much as 20 percent, although I’ve seen other reports that say it’s more like 14 percent. 14 pct. Do you really think 14 pct of the 100 pct can ever cut enough to change the fireball that’s coming? Yes, we can and should do more, but maybe we should focus our energy and resources.. hold that thought we’ll get back to this in a moment because, although there is no official estimate from Congressional Budget Office the number being thrown around is $93 trillion to implement the so-called Green New Deal. $93 trillion. Um, $93 Trillion. I can’t stop saying it. $93 Trillion.
