To all Green New Deal Opponents: Remember, YOU are paying for climate change NOW. Your taxes & insurance premiums are paying for firefighters, flood relief, storm damage, sea level rise, ETC. You can keep fighting the laws of physics but you WILL lose.

LOUISAGUIRRE Let's all save our climate climatechange 🌎🌎

Yes! Absolutely.

cheyennehaslett a better piece would have asked if this is technologically possible, hint: its not

Please stop acting like this woman has good ideas that could actually work.

I am VERY skeptical of a plan that has, at best, been thought through merely since November 2018. It is 2/7/19 and these representatives have been focused on a lot in the last 3 months - not leaving very much time to carefully consider such a self-described moonshot. Honestly.

MichaelEMann Me thinks we are screwed.

Wow that’s the best one can say to stand for this ridiculous nonsense!! Shame on you !! People do have a brain that function. So insulting!!!!

Can't wait to see our Air Force protecting our skies in paragliders

it cost 4 trillion and it won't pass the senate or the president. Obama's green deal gave millions to solar companies that all went bankrupt. Get China and India to clean up there air since we are fine and they are not

Fact check: False Doing the extreme things on this way is far more harmful then the possible harm that could come in a hundred or two hundred years. (Not 12, AOC. 😂😂) People on the left, recapture your party. These folks are so far left they are dangerous.. Geez..

This is an example of deranged man 🤪, kids. Fear-mongering hoax meet PolarVortex Green New Deal 😂

The Audacity of Dope

How do you know that when the cost wasn't even considered?

Ban cow farts!! 🚫🐄💨

Fraud !

How much will airfare on solar planes cost ?

Not enough Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

History

Liberal stupidity

Only the govt can save us. Give us more, do it now. Wait, it’s too late. We all die in 12 years so carry on.

3 days NY to LA and people getting paid whom are “not willing” to work sounds like something other than “audacious”.

She has no business being a paid member of congress. Her fairytale bill is whittled w absolute nonsense. She suggests complete abolishment of industry core to society and her replacement ideas are not even tested. What a waste of paper and time.

A warmer planet mite be a nice place. More food for the growing number of people. We will be growing cotton in Canada. Think about it.

If the Green New Deal happens, the cost of a cheap computer will be over $5000.

Still playing the game with his broken hockey stick.

The Left is only concerned with one thing: Control. And they disguise this control as charity. Programs such as welfare, food stamps – these programs aren’t designed to lift people out of poverty. They were always intended as a mechanism for politicians to control people.

On another note, what was it with all those Cubans going for those ridiculous boat rides?

It is a scam and a cover for Socialism!!!

This is so popular instead of filing it as a “bill” it was filed as a “resolution”. They don’t want to see it fail bad before the 2020 the campaigns start.

Get everyone from under overpasses, off the streets of America, off of opiods, etc. If diversity includes aforementioned, something's wrong. 'E pluribus unum'. Unity is our strength, diversity contributes to it, our new order('novus ordo seclorum'), not a new world order.

Who the hell would want this? Certainly ZERO politicians, but wait that wouldn’t bother them and the elitist, right? They are exempt. Complete bullshit.

If you're so worried about costs, spend your own damn money and crowdfund the rest. When I see that happening, I will begin to take these people seriously. Maybe.

Can't wait to get rid of my car and tear down my house. Genius.

What a freaking joke.🤦‍♂️

Oh yeah the end of the world I heard that so many times . It's all bullshit. The world won't end because you think it will .

The cost of this plan is in excess of a gazillion dollars.

Science has such a strong track record of always being correct. How could we not blindly accept this as truth and plunge forward head first

Love it! We need drastic measures to save this planet and the human race

It's a stupid plan...

'Green New Deal' on climate change wanted by DemocratsRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls climate change 'one of the biggest existential threats to our way of life.' 'In order for us to combat that threat, we must be as ambitious and innovative in our solution as possible.' Did he read it or did like Stacy Adams who stayed with pre fabricated talking points? I read a piece of it and I’ll fight AGAINST it until my last breath. It would require the confiscation of wealth, land and the the killing of thousands of jobs and industries. It’s socialism! Dead on arrival in Senate Right after it kills the jobs in the trucking industry, factories, airline industry.......
