Climate activists are demanding to know why Green New Deal proponents are so selfish, why they want to keep trillions of dollars of Green New Deal cash inside the USA, instead of sharing the cash with everyone through the United Nations.
The Green New Deal Isn’t Global Enough
The resources Democrats want Washington to appropriate and use domestically instead need to flow elsewhere in the world.
By Mihir Sharma
17 March 2019, 11:04 GMT+10At the fourth United Nations Environment Assembly in Kenya this past week, experts and officials from around the world debated how to come up with the investment and innovation needed for countries to grow without dooming the planet. National leaders, NGOs and others discussed, among other things, how to create more “sustainable patterns of consumption and production.” What really struck me in Nairobi, though, was what wasn’t discussed: the Green New Deal being pushed by Democratic Party politicians in the U.S.
This is surprising, in a way: It was the United Nations Environment Programme that first called for a “Global Green New Deal” in 2009, hoping to revive the world economy through investment in climate change-related sectors.
…
Yet, fawning coverage of the Green New Deal rubs many in the developing world the wrong way. We’ve long known that an economy transitioning to a low-carbon growth path will both require investment and create jobs. But, the New Deal of the 1930s is simply not the right analogy. Then, economies across the world had enormous amounts of unused capacity that just needed to be put to work.
By contrast, a global low-carbon transition will require laying claim to resources that are productively employed in carbon-intensive sectors of the economy. It will be expensive. It will require sacrifice. And resources will need to flow more freely across national borders.

Shame on you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Your US centric climate vision has really offended green activists in other countries who feel entitled to a share of the Green New Deal cash you plan to spend in the USA.

AOC and her GND cohorts along with the Renewable Subsidy Seekers and Climate Scientist Rent Seekers are the equivalent of the Next-generation 21st Century Robber Barons.
And no doubt it will take a ”one world government” of un-elected Bureaucrats as well.
An organisation like the UN for instance.
That’s not even funny, if you want to have a good laugh come to the UK and observe British government in action 🙂
You mean in inaction don’t you? Lets face it. The only way there is going to be the Brexit that the people voted for is if they take to the streets and do protracted yellow vest riots like they’ve been doing in France. And even then it might not happen!

This video exposes who Alexandria Ocasio Cortez really is and who is behind her. The Democrats are being overtaken by megalomaniacs.
That thing is still in phase one.
It’s actually pure tactics. Ask for outrageous even to green standards free money efforts.
Then in phase two, come with a “more reasonable” plan perceived as the less of two devils by most.
And have it accepted by all as a sensible solution to a non existing problem.
Greens actually have no limits in their indecency. They observed one minute of silence for their colleagues who perished in an air disaster prior the conference and then proceeded to their claims unaffected by the events to which they have largely contributed. To them it was business as usual.
Fuel saving madness just added 157 to it’s achievements. The quest for fuel efficiency has pushed a new set of potentially dangerous airframes into daily operation.
In summary, an airframe can not be optimal in all portions of it’s envelope. Reason why over-optimal in cruise at altitude aircraft can achieve serious fuel saving figures while sacrificing stability in other phases such as take-off, climb, descend, approach, landing.
Which is why handling is assisted (disguised ?) by flight management computers that interpret or otherwise interfere with command and sensors inputs to the control surfaces.
Failures of the process present the crew with an inherently unstable extremely hard to maneuver airframe with often unpredictable reactions in critical phases.
Fuel saving madness has killed 157 more times and no one dares to question the green pressure that brought us all there.
All the greens can come with is plans for even more free money in the wake of loosing 30 or so of their colleagues to the consequences of their financial pressure.
“The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire.”
Indeed….
I really feel I should help our friends in the USA out here. If Loonella Deville really believes in spreading your money worldwide I think you should do a sample test first – so I volunteer. Please send one billion US dollars in used notes and I will try to maintain a sustainable lifestyle and straight face for a day or two and send a report – from an as yet to be decided luxury holiday island. It’s a tough ask but someone has to do it.
On a completely different note I was interested to discover that a healthy human has an iron ratio in the bloodstream of between 350 to 480 ppm. Curious coincidence with our currently healthy level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Must be some way of using this coincidence to annoy the eco-loons.
Best wishes all!
The Green New Deal.
Aside from that fact that CO2 is not a real problem, even the bit that comes from fossil fuels, these morons seem think that “wealth” seems to just “exist”. There is a pot of gold out there that some people are dipping into more often than they should. Everybody should get an equal handful.
It’s St. Patrick’s Day. But there are no Leprechauns. There is no pot of gold to find dip into.
“Wealth” comes from people producing or contributing to the production of something of value to those who choose to buy it.
The Green New Deal with it’s removal of all practical and proven means of producing the energy needed (remember, the Greens hate and hinder nuclear and hydro also) would mean there would be no people producing or contributing to the production of something of value.
Once the bank vaults’ of “the rich” have been emptied by the “dreamers”, the pot of gold is empty and no one will have the means to refill it.
The Green New Deal really means a return to a subsistence existence for all.
Correct.
The problem with taking from the rich is you can only do it once.
Once you redistribute wealth, it is gone.
Another leftist and publication admits the real reason for the climate change scare is to redistribute America’s and other Western countries’ wealth.
Isn’t it amazing that they do not expect all of the socialist countries to redistribute their wealth?
Isn’t it amazing that they do not expect all of the socialist countries to redistribute their wealth?
probably because all of the socialist countries have no wealth worth redistributing.
Why not buy the book . . .

Sorry. Not interested in ‘restructuring the world economy.’
Well obviously not but I’m certainly eminently qualified to tackle the redistribution job as World’s Fearless Leader and the Great Leap Forward along with plenty of my flunkies.
Alexandria Empty Cortex rode on the short bus all the way to college. I am currently
organizing and categorizing a few hundred thousand jokes, memes, humor, etc. in
about 100 categories in anticipation of starting my own Blog. In my rogue’s gallery
of political figures, she leads in the number of entries.
I understand that Empty Cortex has been the victim of meme exaggerations, but in less
than a day she usually says something so stupid that it only reinforces the fact that she is
the Forest Gump of American politics, except that Forest Gump, understood the concept
of weather cycles.
One of the greatest pieces on global warming was a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles
Slimes about 25 years ago. A geezer (sorry Senior Citizen) wrote that his family moved
from Oklahoma to Southern California about 70 years earlier. He said that he was not
a scientist, but the normal weather pattern was 5-7 years of dry, followed by1-2 years of
wet. I cannot remember all of the details but he described the El Nino and La Nina
weather patterns that have been the norm for thousands of years. His letter was in
response to a woman who confused weather patterns with global climate.
