Even Pelosi? The most corporate establishment democrat?
Of course Pelosi opposes it.

About the GND....
- Do you agree with its urgency & proposals?
- Do you think it's the best way to address GW?
I think it is a vague aspiration policy resolution. As such it is nowhere near urgent enough. What is needed is specific legislation. And that is starting to come.
Let's hope that it's both useful & viable.
But I'll tell you this....they've yet to contact me for my sage advice.
That is a good start.
Not asking my advice is a bad start.
But in the news is something promising for burger & steak fans......
'Cow toilets' aim to cut e-moo-ssions...
I don't have a strong argument for GW's schedule.
But I'm not the one making unsupported quantitative claims.
As for the GND, it's counter-productive for the reasons already given.
To summarize....
- It has no specific proposals to gain support.
- It's widely scorned.
This is an example of a strawman. The proposal calls for net-zero, not for elimination.
From about five years ago, here's an example of how reasonable, thoughtful input from scientists goes in congress. An exchange between Obama's presidential science advisor John Holden, and members of the HOUSE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE, SPACE, and TECHNOLOGY!!!
Start watching at just after 3 minutes..
Even if this were true it does not excuse deliberate use of a straw man fallacy and misrepresentation.
Kangaroo Feathers
Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
Of course it doesn't. But they'll do it anyway, and then whine about the state of political discourse when called on it.
You keep using that term.
But it just doesn't seem to apply.
I'm not doing videos to get info.
What do you think is a straw man?
If you & the horse would address your objections instead of simply
repeating names of informal logical fallacies, things would be clearer.

What? Me worry?
That and fresh new Andy Jackson and I'll talk for hours about whatever you want...
I'm sure you're trying to clarify, but you're objecting without saying anything.
If you disagree with a statement, state why.

The above is what you said!! I just friggin' quoted you. But the GND DOES NOT CALL for the elimination of cars and planes. So, for you to claim that it does is a strawman argument.
What part of this is unclear to you?
Consider this as what I consider a pretty good understanding of the NGD....
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Releases Green New Deal Outline
Perhaps you're reading "elimination" as total.
I wouldn't expect that.
Well your NPR article got it wrong. Why don't you read the actual resolution? It's probably shorter than the article.
Having read both, I concur with the criticism.
