Green New Deal Would Barely Change Earth’s Temperature. Here Are the Facts.

Heritage  (illustrations added by TD) "Here’s the most important fact about the Green New Deal: It wouldn’t work.
"Ultimately, fully implementing the Green New Deal would have no meaningful impact on global temperatures.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., released their much-anticipated blueprint for a Green New Deal Thursday.
"And make no mistake: If implemented, the Green New Deal would bring huge changes to our country. According to an FAQ put out by Ocasio-Cortez’s office, this new deal is “a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.” 
"The plan additionally asks Americans to “upgrade or replace every building in U.S. for state-of-the-art energy efficiency” and to “build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.”

"That’s not even all. Far from being just an energy and climate resolution, the Green New Deal resolution is a wish list for big government spending, expansive government control, and massive amounts of wealth distribution.  As Ocasio-Cortez told NPR, “the heart of the Green New Deal is about social justice.” 
"Ultimately, this deal would fundamentally change how people produce and consume energy, harvest crops, raise livestock, build homes, drive cars, travel long distances, and manufacture(sp) goods. And it wouldn’t even work.
"Green New Deal Wouldn’t Change Climate Significantly 
"But here’s the key thing: Even if Americans were on board with this radical change in behavior and lifestyle, it wouldn’t change our climate.
"In fact, the U.S. could cut its carbon dioxide emissions 100 percent and it would not make a difference in abating global warming." . . .
