THE GREEN NEW DEAL






This is an old drum that I have beat until the membrane is thin.    Controlling carbon emissions is the vaccine, because carbon emissions is not the root cause of climate change. 


It took two million years from the time Lucy walked across the savannas of Africa for the race of man to reach a population of one billion (circa 1804.)

In only 123 years (about 1927) we doubled the population to two billion.   

The move to three billion (1960) took only 34 years.  

To four billion (1974) was a 14-year span.   

Thirteen years later (1987) we added our fifth billion:  1999 (12 years) six billion; 2011 (twelve years) seven billion. 
 

The more people we have the more energy we require, the more natural resources we consume, the more devastating we are on the environment.

The present world population at the beginning of 2019 is listed as 7.7 billion and growing steadily.


This is the elephant ignored in the Green New Deal.

  1. Technology has allowed this population, technology will either keep up or mother nature will adjust things to fit.
    Mother Nature doesn't care...

  2. Yeppers. The human is the virus that has done all this damage and until the virus is eradicated by mother nature completely, the infestation will continue until the host is uninhabitable.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
