Climate, Children, & Coercion
Item: Time, in its print issue for April 1, carries an article entitled “How the Green New Deal Is Forcing Politicians to Finally Address Climate Change.” The GND, according to the magazine, is “equal parts policy proposal and battle cry,” and it calls for the United States “to launch a broad ‘mobilization’ to decarbonize the economy while tackling a slew of other social ills.”
Prominent left-wing politicians have fallen over each other to back the GND. As Time puts it: “Nearly every Democratic candidate for the 2020 presidential nomination has endorsed the Green New Deal. Washington Governor Jay Inslee entered the race on a climate-themed campaign — something unthinkable just a few years ago, when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn’t field a single question about climate change in their presidential debates.”
Item: Governor Jay Inslee, noted The Guardian (U.K.) for March 18, “speaks of [climate change] as an imminent threat to the US and the world…. ‘We have exactly one chance left to defeat climate change — and that’s during the next administration,’ he told a [New Hampshire] crowd…. ‘And when you have one chance at survival, we ought to take it.’”
