Remember: The Green New Deal Wasn't Written as a Climate Plan, but as a Plan to Move the USA Toward Socialism

There's been a string of environmental false alarms since around 1960. "Experts" can't exactly settle on exactly what type of environmental Armageddon we face...but whatever it is, it requires more government, fewer fossil fuels, and a more NPR/food-co-op-friendly lifestyle...
