Apparently you haven't watched the Democrat debates. All of your candidates have signed off on her Deal. She just endorsed Sanders and that was considered a big deal.

Most Liberals I know think the NGD is a losing proposition. Candidates endorse a lot of ideas during campaigns and then don't follow up once elected.
Trump would be an excellent example of this phenomenon.

I don't see any of them saying she's idealistic, unrealistic. She and "the Squad" have real influence.

Lol, 2 inches lower than the 1966 flood! Climate wackos just make it up. .
Venice flooding is the worst in 50 years, and the mayor blames climate change

not impossible. I hope you understand that climate involves a bit more than a 50 year data set. Also I think you, like many (including mrfedex did just a few posts ago) tend to incorrectly and improperly confuse, or conflate climate change and anthropogenic gw.

Could possibly getting another Nor'Easter this coming Monday. Last one crushed two sailboats on the rocks , put another on to a rock ledge ( need a tug boat to remove it ) and dragged two other sailboats still attached to their moorings about a quarter of a mile. The only reasons those boats were still in was that another prior Nor'Easter canceled their scheduled haul out day.

AOC endorsing anyone is a big deal. Your candidate( one orange idiot) doesn't believe in climate change.
Dunce.

Why Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
Environmental journalists and advocates have in recent weeks made a number of apocalyptic predictions about the impact of climate change. Bill McKibben suggested climate-driven fires in Australia had made koalas “functionally extinct.” Extinction Rebellion said “Billions will die” and “Life on Earth is dying.” Vice claimed the “collapse of civilization may have already begun.”
Few have underscored the threat more than student climate activist Greta Thunberg and Green New Deal sponsor Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The latter said, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.” Says Thunberg in her new book, “Around 2030 we will be in a position to set off an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control that will lead to the end of our civilization as we know it.”
Journalists and activists alike have an obligation to describe environmental problems honestly and accurately, even if they fear doing so will reduce their news value or salience with the public. There is good evidence that the catastrophist framing of climate change is self-defeating because it alienates and polarizes many people. And exaggerating climate change risks distracting us from other important issues including ones we might have more near-term control over.

Make the climate bill quantify the changes. If targets don't materialize strip the government down to originalist ideals. All capital losses will be recovered from climate hoax promoters, politicians and organizations until individuals and private corporate interests are made whole. No guts no glory.
