What to Do About Co2

Pat Palmer

Description

Pat Palmer, a proud U.S. citizen, voter, and human being explores the Green New Deal, where it came from, and whether it makes sense.

What is the Green New Deal, where did it come from, and does it make sense?

Pat Palmer, a proud U.S. citizen, voter, and human being, seeks to answer those questions and many more in this book that explores various efforts to save our environment using renewable energy.

Get answers to questions such as:
• What is contributing to the rise in global temperatures?
• Are we really experiencing climate change—and is it such a big deal?
• What are the goals of the Green New Deal?
• How does politics play into efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions?

The author emphasizes that the Green New Deal is not just about rising temperatures—it’s also linked to purely social issues that its proponents want to link to climate change.

All over the world, political groups have convinced billions of people we are in an apocalyptic state and massive extinction is only a matter of time. Find out the truth in What to Do about CO2.

To all those people who believe in climate change and the Green New Deal. To those who don’t believe in our pending apocalypse. Temperature rise is happening but is very small. Ice ages, global droughts, and planetary changes have been going on since the planet began—most of it before the use of fossil fuels. This book is for all the people who want to protect our environment and are willing to take that hard look at what we are doing in the name of climate change .

Preface
Why this particular book? Why now? Now I have the time. Why? I’ve noticed over the last several years the hate that has erupted over climate change and so much money being spent on climate change issues. I can’t believe how people blindly follow political groups and truly think we are ten years away from destruction. All over the world, these political groups have convinced billions of people we are in an apocalyptic state. Massive extinction is at hand.
I felt there was a need to present the facts of my research. There are many calculations to prove my data. I spent over a year collecting information to back up my data. It is time I present it to you, the reader. With a little humor, I try to explain as simply as possible what all my research means. Have a pleasant read.
Thank you for taking the time to read this book.

Introduction
What is the Green New Deal? What is it really trying to accomplish? For years, there has been a push to save our environment using renewable energy. Now there is a politically motivated resolution that appears to have coalesced around these ideas. Many people believe that getting rid of fossil fuels will save us.
I recommend that everyone read the Green New Deal. You will find that it’s not only about climate change. There are two agendas. Who’d a thunk? One agenda is the rising temperatures, which we are led to believe are sending us into oblivion. The second agenda includes purely social issues, which the proponents of this resolution are trying to link to climate change. I will define climate change.
I will be dealing with the climate issue in the Green New Deal and speaking about the social issues only as they pertain to climate change. The book goes down each point of the resolution, section by section, so the reader can follow along as I discuss them. The readers can find the Green New Deal on the internet. Happy reading.

What the Blazes Is Going On?
A ll this hoopla over climate change started in the twentieth century when scientists began warning ever louder that the planet was in trouble. Politicians soon felt the pressure to do something about it. The result of that pressure became the Green New Deal, and it is nothing less than a revolution in how we tackle climate change and our economy.
What the blazes is this Green New Deal and what is it really trying to accomplish? For years, there has been a push, off and on, to save our environment by using renewable energy. And now there is a politically motivated resolution that appears to have coalesced around these ideas. But where did the idea for this Green New Deal come from, and who wrote it? We will be looking into its origins and its contents as we journey through this swamp.
We’ll break down how the Green New Deal (GND) blames human activity (fossil fuels) for temperature rise and climate change and investigate its demands. They include a demand that 100 percent of our power must come from clean, renewable sources by 2030. What? That’s not even feasible as long as we need fossil fuels to build our renewables. Unfortunately, renewables aren’t the savior of humankind. Fossil fuels aren’t the only things that spew out CO 2 and other ghastly gases.
What is the Green New Deal? Have you read it? I suggest you do read it to follow along with this book. When you do, you might be surprised that a lot of it has nothing to do with climate change. A lot of it covers social issues that have nothing to do with climate change at all. We’ll talk about all this in the coming chapters, but right now, let’s see how the Green New Deal was born.
On February 7, 2019, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) and Senator Edward Markey (Democrat, Massachusetts) presented the world with the Green New Deal, otherwise known as Resolution 109.
How exactly can we define the GND? This definition comes straight from the Green Party. The GND will create a “new, sustainable economy that is environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible.” For them clean energy doesn’t include clean coal, natural gas, biomass, or nuclear power.
So what’s up with this Green New Deal? Where did it come from, and what does it actually do? It seems it all started one day when more than one hundred young adults marched into the office of Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, to protest about political action on climate. The group was called the Sunrise Movement, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led the march. They were presenting a message that a Green New Deal was needed, and around 140 people were arrested. (And they say January 6, 2021, was bad!)
As time went by, a tight-knit group of progressives worked on this idea but didn’t put any details in this GND. A think tank called the New Consensus was then put in charge of making the GND into a policy proposal but had written almost nothing about the subject matter. It was a fairly new think tank, and they knew very little about environmental policy. 1 They wanted to combine ideas from all over the place and create one huge domestic agenda, which they did. Their main source of information came from the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) and the Fourth National Climate Assessment.
When released, the GND was very broad with no real specifics. Supposedly, the New Consensus is going to add the details at a later date. We’re still waiting. These were the people behind the plan:
• Justice Democrats (PAC)—took care of election strategy
• Sunrise Movement—youth campaign
• Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—works inside Congress
When they had their first meeting on the GND, there were many problems and lots of arguments. One issue was Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s push for 100 percent renewable energy. This became a hot topic for discussion because the push for renewable energy did not include nuclear power. Many people believed this plan, if implemented, would be way too expensive and create many brownouts across the country. The more moderate liberals suggested a 100 percent clean-energy statement. That would leave the door open to include nuclear power. To make it more palatable, the GND statement ended up being “meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources.”
Before continuing, do you know what net zero really means? It doesn’t mean getting rid of all fossil fuels. It doesn’t mean getting our CO 2 e levels down to zero. (CO 2 e is the carbon dioxide equivalent, or the carbon footprint, not just of carbon dioxide but all greenhouse gases.) It does mean that however much CO 2 e we spew out, we must remove an equal amount. What goes in must come out. It’s important to mention that, because the problem with this issue is that the far, Far Left wants to get rid of all fossil fuels entirely to reach net zero. Moderate liberals feel that we can reach net zero by using brand-new technology to help get rid of our CO 2 e without disrupting our entire syst
