What the Green New Deal Was

The Green New Deal was a Democrat campaign trick. It’s a populist title made to bring people concerned with global warming into the far left irrational camp of contradictory policies and effects. There are other ecospheric concerns besides global warming that are equally important. They are actually too numerous to mention. Ocean acidification, mass species extinction, loss of wild habitat are just three.
It is possible to advance legislation that corrects ecospheric errors one at a time. Practical legislative action would require well educated politicians though, and they are mostly undereducated in ecospheric intelligence.
The Green New Deal could spend as much as 93 trillion dollars and let the ecosphere continue to decline. Textbooks have been written on ecological economics. Maybe A.O.C. never read one.


The changes required to continue life on Earth are substantial. Apathy and ignorance are pervasive, the countermeasures to habitat decline inadequate. Conventional building should stop. People should live inside hollow artificial mountain range constructions allowing wildlife to live freely outside. Roads should be reduced to a minority of the existing infrastructure. Hyper-loop tubes between cities should provide mass transit. Electric cars should be used on skeletal local roads. Wildlife might for itself help recover the ecosystem that has been damaged by human beings. A moon colony and Mars base should be supported so some humans might have a chance to survive mass human extirpation on Earth. The efforts to continue life on Earth are just not meeting the challenges to it.
The Democrat Party should get behind reforming capitalism instead of investing in socialism and corporatism. Capitalism made to serve ecospheric recovery and sustainability through Democracy’s power to set regulatory parameters to favor those that work for national vital interests, would be far more powerful. Even with little positive legislative parameters free enterprise is already making powerful advances toward solving some ecospheric problems. Free enterprise and capitalism can’t do it alone, without sufficient cooperation from government.
