Green New Deal

The #Green New Deal is the American version of the #European Green Deal, which is currently, in 2020 being marketed as the answer to all problems. That was the trick tried by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels using The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848. They achieved anything up to 100 million murders. The Black Book of Communism gives chapter and verse.

 

European Green Deal ex Wiki   
The European Green Deal is a set of policy initiatives by the European Commission with the overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral in 2050.[1][2] An impact assessed plan will also be presented to increase the EU's greenhouse gas emission reductions target for 2030 to at least 50% and towards 55% compared with 1990 levels. The plan is to review each existing law on its climate merits, and also introduce new legislation on the circular economy, building renovation, biodiversity, farming and innovation.[2]

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated that the European Green Deal would be Europe's "man on the Moon moment", as the plan would make Europe the first climate-neutral continent.[2] Von der Leyen appointed Frans Timmermans as Executive Vice President of the European Commission for the European Green Deal. On 13 December 2019, the European Council decided to press ahead with the plan, with an opt-out for Poland.[3] On 15 January 2020 the European Parliament voted to support the deal as well, with requests for higher ambition.[4]

 

Green New Deal ex Wiki     
The Green New Deal (GND) is a proposed package of United States legislation that aims to address climate change and economic inequality.[1][2][3][4] The name refers back to the New Deal, a set of social and economic reforms and public works projects undertaken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression.[5] The Green New Deal combines Roosevelt's economic approach with modern ideas such as renewable energy and resource efficiency.[6][7]

In the 116th United States Congress, it is a pair of resolutions, House Resolution 109[8] and S. Res. 59, sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA). On March 25, 2019, Markey's resolution failed to advance in the U.S. Senate in a margin of 0–57, with most Senate Democrats voting "present" in protest of an early vote called by Republicans.[9] There is consistently high support among Democrats for the proposal, whereas almost all Republicans are in opposition.[10]

Since the early 2000s, and especially since 2018, other proposals for a "Green New Deal" have arisen both in the United States and internationally.[11][12][13] The first U.S. politician to run on a Green New Deal platform was Howie Hawkins of the Green Party when he ran for governor of New York in 2010.[14] Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein ran on a Green New Deal platform in 2012 and 2016.[15]

History

 
Sustainable agriculture combined with renewable energy generation

Throughout the 1970s and 1990s, an economic policy to move the United States economy away from nonrenewable energy was developed by activists in the labor and the environmental movements.[16]

An early use of the phrase "Green New Deal" was by journalist Thomas Friedman.[17] He argued in favor of the idea in The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine.[18][19] In January 2007, Friedman wrote:

If you have put a windmill in your yard or some solar panels on your roof, bless your heart. But we will only green the world when we change the very nature of the electricity grid – moving it away from dirty coal or oil to clean coal and renewables. And that is a huge industrial project – much bigger than anyone has told you. Finally, like the New Deal, if we undertake the green version, it has the potential to create a whole new clean power industry to spur our economy into the 21st century.[19]

This approach was subsequently taken up in Britain by the Green New Deal Group,[20] which published its eponymous report on July 21, 2008.[21] The concept was further popularized and put on a wider footing when the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) began to promote it.

In early 2008, author Jeff Biggers launched a series of challenges for a Green New Deal from the perspective of his writings from coal country in Appalachia. Biggers wrote, "Obama should shatter these artificial racial boundaries by proposing a New "Green" Deal to revamp the region and bridge a growing chasm between bitterly divided Democrats, and call for an end to mountaintop removal policies that have led to impoverishment and ruin in the coal fields."[22] Biggers followed up with other Green New Deal proposals over the next four years.[23]

On October 22, 2008, UNEP's Executive Director Achim Steiner unveiled a Global Green New Deal initiative that aims to create jobs in "green" industries, thus boosting the world economy and curbing climate change at the same time.[24] The Green Party of the United States and Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein proposed a "Green New Deal" beginning in 2012.[25][26][27] A Green New Deal remains officially part of the platform of the Green Party of the United States.[28]

Proposals to include the Green New Deal in recovery program from COVID-19

There are proposals to include the Green New Deal or parts of it, in the recovery program from the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.[29][30] In the European Union, in April 2020 the European Parliament called to include the European Green Deal in the recovery program from the COVID-19 pandemic.[31]

 

Why Do NATO States Commit Energy Hara Kiri
Because politicians are deeply ignorant or, alternatively malicious. Arranging for electricity to be dependent on the wind, when it blows & the sun if it shines is a recipe for disaster, for breaking Western Civilization. Is that the point?


 

Green New Deal Is About Socialist Destruction Of Democracy   [ 2 September 2020 ]
QUOTE
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New Deal is to overhaul the “entire economy.”..........

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday.

“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” he added. The Green New Deal, proposed earlier this year by Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey (D., Mass.), would transition the U.S. economy entirely away from fossil fuels within ten years while simultaneously providing a federal jobs and healthcare guarantee. It would also, according to its proponents, advance “social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative and public ownership.”

All told, the proposal will cost up to $93 trillion in new government spending over ten years, according to a recent report by the conservative American Action Forum.

$93 trillion in new government spending is $93 thousand billion. NB a billion is still a lot of money even when it is only tax payers hard earned dollars. Notice too that Cortez and her chief are both aliens, Marxists to boot. It makes one wonder if Kamala Harris is a less awful choice for Joe Biden's running mate.

 

'Sir' David Attenborough & Fraud  [ 27 January 2022 ]
QUOTE
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer.

In 2019 Netflix in conjunction with WWF broadcast Frozen Worlds, an episode in the Our Planet series and narrated by David Attenborough. The scenes it showed shocked and horrified viewers around the world.

After a brief introduction about the recent loss of Arctic summer sea ice and the ‘inevitable’ devastation this will cause for Arctic animals, it shifts to a series of amazing shots of tens of thousands of walrus, crowded cheek-by-jowl on a beach in Siberia.

The camera pans out to a rocky cliff, which several walrus are attempting to climb. Then suddenly, one after another, the walrus are shown falling off the cliff to their deaths on the rocky shore below. The scenes are shown in slow motion and repeated in order to maximise the shock effect.

As the scenes unfold, Attenborough coolly informs viewers that the walrus would not normally be there, but out on the sea ice instead. But because of man-made global warming, the poor walrus have been forced onto land in crowded conditions, where they will inevitably suffer and die...........

A number of suspicions were immediately evident. Far from these beach haul outs being unusual, walrus in fact regularly use these beaches every year, in order to rest and feed while waiting for the sea ice to move south in autumn.

Walrus also invariably crowd together in these situations, both for warmth and protection from polar bears. Indeed, far from walrus being threatened by climate change, their populations have been growing in recent years, explaining why so many were hauled out that day.

And what made those walrus try to climb the cliff?

Dr Susan Crockford is a professional zoologist, who has specialised in Arctic mammals for many years, particularly polar bears and walrus. She immediately smelled a rat.

Her newly released book, Fallen Icon, tells the story of how she uncovered exactly what went on that day on the Siberian beach. Her detective work reveals how it was polar bears stalking them that forced the walrus up that cliff; how this is a common hunting tactic and how the bears then fed off the carcasses down below.

She uncovers evidence that WWF already knew about this hunting tactic at that particular location, and that was precisely why this beach was chosen for the film.

She goes on to describe how retreating sea ice actually increases the food supply for walrus and how their populations are both healthy and increasing.

And how Attenborough used this horrifying imagery to jump-start a three year campaign against human-caused global warming that included ten documentaries laden with groundless climate emergency messaging, much of it aimed at the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. Attenborough’s relentless climate activism included a utopian vision of global changes for society eerily similar to the one proposed by the World Economic Forum.
UNQUOTE
Doctor Crockford is a zoologist, the real thing. Attenborough is a smarmy little front man with an agenda. The WWF is a bunch of chancers; they have an agenda too; marketing Global Warming is part of it. Just who you believe in a wicked world? The good doctor's book is at Fallen Icon: Sir David Attenborough and the Walrus Deception. The WEF perpetrators include Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, Henry Kissinger, Prince Andrew, Carlos Ghosn [ still in prison? No, on the run ], Recep Tayyip Erdoğan [ an enthusiastic tyrant ]; they make a convincing hate list.
