@Mouse Wizzard,
Based off what I have read about the Green New Deal, the fact like only 2 or 3 countries have even made the Paris accords target goals, and IF they were really honest with themselves about climate change and what really needs to be done to meet the 2 degree target temp, the whole world would have to go Amish lifestyle.
But they want, are counting on, some techno fix. They do not want to give up their smartphones (BBC report the IT sector consumes as much energy as the airline industry, world wide), their 2400+ sqft homes, their AC (recall the reccommendation of keeping your house at 78 degrees by the DOE?), driving, big screen TVs and out of season fruit.
So, that is why I think the whole idea is a joke. They are not serious, or have to intestinal fortitude to even talk about it.
