Comments by "Hugh Jorgan" (@HughJorgan1) on "Republicans slam Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal’ amid growing Democratic support" video.

  1. 1:37 is an excellent point. There's many who truly don't care about the cost of ridiculous, unrealistic policies that could lead to economic disaster. They're indoctrinated members of the "green" cult and are brainwashed to agree with alarmist misinformation. Or they think welfare, social assistance programs, free tuition and healthcare will magically come from harnessing the power of unicorn farts. The "inconvenient truth" for these people is: 1. The US has lowered its carbon emissions significantly in the past decade and continues to make great strides in moving to clean energy. While having massive growth and a very strong economy. 2. Unless China, India and others also implement radical "Green New Deals", nothing we do will matter on a global scale. 3. Climate change has been occurring for billions of years. It will occur regardless of what we do, or don't do. There's many other factors to climate change completely beyond our control. We need to be far more responsible with respect to pollution and emissions. But radical, economy-crippling policies aren't the solution. (Note: I'll qualify this comment by saying I haven't yet fully researched the details of the "green new deal" proposal)
