The Green New Deal is a series of prospective laws, policies and orders that are sponsored by U.S. Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York and U.S. Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts. The comprehensive list of recommended actions taken by the
Federal Government is highly controversial but the intent is to save the people of this planet by gradually reversing the harmful effects of
Global Warming and extreme
Climate Change that is ongoing and has been worsening gradually over the last one hundred years due to the injection of massive amounts of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere due to modern
industrialization and waste in the
economy. The proposed laws in the initiative would discourage and penalize industries that continued or worsened Global Warming, such as the
fossil fuels industries, and reward industries, such as
solar power,
wind and
nuclear power, that have the potential to take carbon dioxide and other harmful
industrial wastes out of the atmosphere.
The Green New Deal brings fear and loathing to the fossil fuel industries and brings hope to those of us who prefer to protect the Earth instead of human activity that threatens mass extinction and possibly even the end of human civilization.
