Talk about Green Trojan horses!
The Green New Deal contains the following goals, quoted here specifically:
1…to create millions of good, high-wage jobs and ensure prosperity and economic security for all people of the United States;
2…to invest in the infrastructure and industry of the United States to sustainably meet the challenges of the 21st century;
3…to promote justice and equity by stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated ruralcommunities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth by guaranteeing universal access to clean water;
4…providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment,
adequate capital (including through community grants, public banks, and other public financing), technical expertise, supporting policies, and other forms of assistance to communities, organizations, Federal, State, and local government agencies, and businesses working on the Green New Deal mobilization
5…guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States
6...strengthening and protecting the right of all workers to organize, unionize, and collectively bargain free of coercion, intimidation, and
harassment
7…strengthening and enforcing labor, workplace health and safety, antidiscrimination, and wage and hour standards across all employ23
ers, industries, and sectors
8…to grow domestic manufacturing in the United States;
9…ensuring a commercial environment where every businessperson is free from unfair competition and domination by domestic or international monopolies;
10…providing all people of the United States with (i) high-quality health care; (ii) affordable, safe, and adequate housing; (iii) economic security; and (iv) clean water, clean air, healthy and affordable food, and access to nature
What does any of those thing have to do with a changing climate, or with the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Talk about a "Trojan Horse" !!!
