Bummer: James Hansen Calls Green New Deal “Nonsense”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


How soon till AOC claps back at him?

Climate movement grandpa James Hansen says the Green New Deal is ‘nonsense’

In the 1980s, NASA scientist James Hansen brought climate change to the attention of Congress, and shortly thereafter the public. Humans, he testified in 1988, were responsible for rising global temperatures.

But the man who put his reputation on the line to alert the world to the dangers of global warming doesn’t appear to agree with the most recent crop of climate advocates.

In April 20 debate with Sunrise Movement’s Varshini Prakash and Christian Aid’s Amanda Mukwashi, Hansen called the Green New Deal “nonsense.” (snip)

That tension came to a head when Hansen appeared visibly aggravated by the progressive proposal and Prakash, realizing that one of the most prominent climate scientists in the world was scoffing at her organization’s central focus, could only laugh in disbelief.

It’s not that James doesn’t want many of the things offered by the GND, he just thinks it is nonsense overall. Plus, he wants a carbon tax, which the GND doesn’t call for. Plus, he seems to understand that you can’t just do it all in one go, and that the GND is so far overboard that it’s idiotic.

Green New Deal Would Reward Rich, Hurt Poor

(snipping to end, worth reading everything in between)

If a Green New Deal is ever implemented, says Mills, it would rob the poor by raising energy costs, while “giving money to wealthy people in the form of subsidies to buy $100,000 cars, to put expensive solar arrays on their roofs, or to be investors in wind farms.”

“It’s upside-down Robin Hood,” he adds. “That’s a bad deal.”

Kinda like how Obama rewarded all his donors with loans for “green” projects with the Stimulus.
