Notes on Green New Deal

(3) global warming at or above 2 degrees Celsius beyond preindustrialized levels will cause— (B) more than $500,000,000,000 in lost annual economic output in the United States by the year 2100; (F) a risk of damage to $1,000,000,000,000 of public infrastructure and coastal real estate in the United States; and…

(3) global warming at or above 2 degrees Celsius beyond preindustrialized levels will cause—

(B) more than $500,000,000,000 in lost annual economic output in the United States by the year 2100;

(F) a risk of damage to $1,000,000,000,000 of public infrastructure and coastal real estate in the United States; and

Whereas the House of Representatives recognizes that a new national, social, industrial, and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New Deal era is a historic opportunity

(2) the goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (1) (referred to in this resolution as the “Green New Deal goals”) should be accomplished through a 10-year national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the “Green New Deal mobilization”) that will require the following goals and projects—

(G) working collaboratively with farmers and ranchers in the United States to remove pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector as much as is technologically feasible, including—

(i) by supporting family farming;

[Not by redistributing farmland]

(N) promoting the international exchange of technology, expertise, products, funding, and services, with the aim of making the United States the international leader on climate action, and to help other countries achieve a Green New Deal;

(3) a Green New Deal must be developed through transparent and inclusive consultation, collaboration, and partnership with frontline and vulnerable communities, labor unions, worker cooperatives, civil society groups, academia, and businesses; and

(4) to achieve the Green New Deal goals and mobilization, a Green New Deal will require the following goals and projects—

(A) providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment, adequate capital (including through community grants, public banks, and other public financing), technical expertise, supporting policies, and other forms of assistance to communities, organizations, Federal, State, and local government agencies, and businesses working on the Green New Deal mobilization;

(G) ensuring that the Green New Deal mobilization creates high-quality union jobs that pay prevailing wages, hires local workers, offers training and advancement opportunities, and guarantees wage and benefit parity for workers affected by the transition;

(H) guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States;

(N) ensuring a commercial environment where every businessperson is free from unfair competition and domination by domestic or international monopolies; and

General Observations:

  1. The Green New Deal was stolen from the Green Party, without giving them credit.
  2. The Original New Deal created more than 35 new government agencies and passed through 11 separate acts (not resolutions) of Congress. The Green New Deal recognizes only existing agencies and local governments.
  3. The Green New Deal does not promise to redistribute the land to poor farmers.
  4. The Green New Deal does not propose any limits on private wealth.
  5. The Green New Deal seeks to provide value for private businesses. It does not seek to use eminent domain or any form of confiscation of property used for pollution or exploitation.
  6. More detailed observations will come later.
