quote [ The only way Democrats can hope to pass climate legislation is by radically shaking up the status quo balance of powers. ]
People who think the Green New Deal isn't realistic can't seem to come up with a better idea.

We need to bring a full fucking halt to most co2 emissions very soon. If that requires a radical restructuring of our society and its economic system, which is what the GND is working towards, so be it. I mean, your first two proposals are subsidies and carbon taxes... the time for market based solutions was 30 years ago. The market is currently valuing fossil fuel companies based on co2 which MUST NEVER BE BURNED. While everyone is concerned for rising oceans because humans can't breathe water, they seem to be ignoring that we can't breathe co2 beyond certain amounts either without significant cognitive losses to our mental faculties, the most extreme of which is death. The fact of the matter is that the GND actually is not enough. The future of humanity in which we are not putting our most extreme goals front and center and throwing every available resource towards accomplishing them, no matter how impossible they may seem, is extinction.
