This has gone completely off the rails with a flurry of posts that are either conspiracy theories or straight up lies. It seems as though none of the responders read the resolution. What a mess! I will attempt to tidy up a bit...
It is effectively trying to outlaw the use of Airplanes (no fossil fuels after 10 years).
Trump seems to think AOC and democrats should move forward with the Green New Deal
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1094375749279248385I think it is very important for the Democrats to press forward with their Green New Deal. It would be great for the so-called “Carbon Footprint” to permanently eliminate all Planes, Cars, Cows, Oil, Gas & the Military - even if no other country would do the same. Brilliant!

Everything in this post was a lie. How long would it take to search the resolution for those terms? Net zero emissions does not mean the same thing as completely eliminating emissions. Planting trees as well as plants for biofuels can completely offset the limited use of fuel.
But the president tweeted it so it must be true right?
This is actually a good post by quickseller
This is never going to be put for a vote, as it is dead on arrival in the House. Pelosi has publicly said what amounts to that it will not be put to a vote, and she is smart enough to not put it to a vote based on the amount of ridicule it is receiving alone.
Trump is wanting to give this as much attention it can get to highlight the extremism on the left.
This isn't being released now to get trhough this congress. The idea is that it gets out into the conversation 2 years before the election as a litmus so the 81% of the population who support and demand these policies can see who is with them and who is against them. This is the end of the Pelosi democratic party and everyone knows it. A green wave is coming in 2020.
My favorite part is where they say it provides economic security for all, even those unwilling to work.
The Green New Deal is the most fantasyland proposal I’ve ever personally seen proposed seriously in government.
BUY BITCOIN!
You mean a universal income? The policy that already has been supported by significant amounts of studies and has garnered supports from libertarians as well. The biggest fantasy at play here is getting people like the ones in this thread to accept research conclusions that are contrary to their preconceived notions.
I would like to do my part. One steak a day and 2x/day on weekends would be doing my part to reduce the cow population.
Will THE PLAN pay for these?
Buying steak causes the number of cows to increase. You should limit your meat consumption as much as possible. If not for the health of the planet, for your own personal health.
EDIT: Nuclear power is also not allowed with the Green New Deal.
Lie. I posted the resolution link. I cannot click on it and read it for you.
In my opinion the entire "Man Made Global Warming" debacle is an ingenious ploy traceable all the way up to those seeking ultimate power by creating a one world government.
At many stages it has attempted global wealth redistribution, to weaken the west and win the hearts of potential benefactor nations.
It attempts to destroy the economies of the west, making us spend money on nonsense to make us more poor so we are easier to take over.
It attempts to make us use less energy, making us weaker and easier to take over.
The CO2 theory is completely debunked in my opinion.
So not only is the entire international scientific community wrong, they are all co-conspirators involved in a secret plot to use faked science to make their own home countries collapse and be taken over. They have also convinced the political leadership of all those same countries to get on board at destroying themselves as well. No one could figure it out except some random dudes on the internet.
Tell me again who is extreme?
