AOC Introduces a New and Improved Green New Deal.<\/a><\/p>\n

With Representative\u00a0Ocasio-Cortez reintroducing<\/a>\u00a0her Green New Deal bill and Joe Biden pledging to\u00a0halve carbon emissions<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. in less than 10 years, and after the\u00a0\u201cClimate Summit\u201d<\/a>\u00a0goes virtual on April 22, America is going to be so green we\u2019ll be mistaken for an artichoke.<\/p>\n

\n
There\u2019s no time to lose. The earth is doomed unless we stop poisoning our atmosphere with the exhalation of so many politicians and world leaders. If they stopped and held their breath for a day or two, we\u2019d be carbon neutral in a jiffy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s too bad that\u2019s not a real solution, but we\u2019d at least be spared the ministrations of AOC and her climate police who are chomping at the bit to upend the lives of 300 million people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to transition to a 100 percent carbon free-economy, that is more unionized, more just, more dignified and guarantees more health care and housing than we ever have before,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said at a press conference overlooking the National Mall. \u201cDo we intend on sending a message to the Biden administration that we need to go bigger and bolder? The answer is absolutely yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re more \u201cdignified,\u201d does that mean I have to wear a shirt around the house?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Politico:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Among the new legislation is a proposal from Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Ocasio-Cortez that would authorize up to $1 trillion for cities, tribes and territories to fund their own localized versions of the Green New Deal.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez also released legislation on Monday that would spend up to $172 billion on public housing over 10 years, more than quadrupling what President Joe Biden\u2019s White House has proposed for public housing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a new proposal from Markey and Ocasio-Cortez creating the Civilian Conservation Corps, which they said would provide employment to a diverse group of 1.5 million Americans over 5 years with jobs on climate change projects that come with strong benefits. The broad contours of such a program is\u00a0embraced by Democrats across the political spectrum<\/a>\u00a0and similar to the one Biden established in\u00a0an early executive order<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s clear these Democrats are channeling a dead Franklin Roosevelt who created the original Civilian Conservation Corps back in 1933. It \u201cprovided manual labor jobs related to the\u00a0conservation and development of natural resources.\u201d Are there 1.5 million Americans willing to perform manual labor for a paycheck? No doubt the new CCC will be a job service for Mexico and other Central American countries.<\/p>\n

No, there\u2019s no chance the Green New Deal will become law. But the strategy now appears to be incrementalism\u2014taking small bites at a time until the left has made a meal of what\u2019s left of the American economy.<\/p>\n

The whole charade is predicated on the notion that reducing greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide will lower the temperature of the planet \u2014 or, at least, keep it from rising out of control. They claim it\u2019s logical, reasonable, and makes common sense. Less carbon going into the atmosphere should mean smaller temperature increases and zero-carbon should reverse the process, right?<\/p>\n

The problem is it\u2019s totally and completely unproven. Not only that, there\u2019s no way to prove it. There are very convincing models \u2014 that somehow never quite predict the future with any degree of accuracy. The Green New Deal would suck $13-18 trillion out of the economy by 2050 with a corresponding reduction in economic growth and increases in unemployment. AOC and her merry band of green brigands want to upend the world\u2019s economy not because it will save the planet but because they believe it would destroy the antichrist of capitalism.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How far they will get in this scheme will depend entirely on the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
