“Climate change is not a market glitch to be fixed through pricing... but part of a dire social crisis.”
The GND Resolution’s purpose is to *define the scope* of a climate solution.

For far too long, ideas like a carbon tax or cap-and-trade were touted as the premier solutions to climate change.

Finally, the reason we scope out with a resolution is bc I am not here to say that only one member of Congress will solve a global crisis.
Think of the GND Res as a “Request for Proposals.”
