I have an update: After fixing some errors, giving far more credit to impact of sending economy to the dark ages, and accounting for the 11% of emissions offset by forests/lands, we would only need to get rid of ~110 Million Americans by 2030 to get near net-0 emissions.*
*This still does not account for emissions from any of the new projects contained in the Green New Deal. Including retrofitting every building in America and building an extensive high speed rail system.
Also, please keep in mind that doing all of that still won't have any significant impact on climate change, and some of the people proposing all this haven't been willing to make any significant personal sacrifices to deal with this urgent threat that requires all of this.
FWIW those interested in the numbers behind this can read them in this week's AG report: patreon.com/user?u=1427827…

Wow....
Might be a good time to look back at some of the early takes.
So @AsheSchow tried to warn people:

"Give away"?

She is either incredibly stupid or incredibly dishonesty.

They weren't giving away anything. It was a tax reduction. You need something to tax to give a reduction. City could have had millions in tax revenue to spend on these items, but now they will get nothing.
This only makes sense if you assume that all of Amazon's money belongs to the government, which she likely does.
This is like celebrating that you didn't win the lottery because now you don't have to give away 40% in taxes, and then talking about everything you can do with that 40%. You didn't win!!! You get nothing!

Or in this case, here constituents get nothing.

By my very rough estimation, even using all the modern technology available and banning the things mentioned (airplanes, most cars, meat etc), you would still need to magically get rid of ~40% of the US population to get to net zero emissions in a decade.
That doesn’t account for any of the projects mentioned in the Green New Deal. If you add having to refurbish every building, building trains that can go everywhere, providing housing/healthcare/health care etc., you would need to get rid of almost everyone else.
Even Thanos only wanted to get rid of about 50%. He almost seems reasonable compared to what you would need to do to achieve the goals of the Green New Deal.

Since Tuesday’s meeting where the @albertaNDP and @Alberta_UCP voted together to cut funding for smaller parties in #ableg, I've run a few scenarios. Now that we know the final formula, it's actually worse that I thought. Here's some background on this: edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… /1
Under the NDP/UCP plan, as majorities get bigger, proportionately less money goes to small opposition parties, even if they reach the new magic number of four MLAs for official party status #ableg /2
This could be a mistake that comes from not paying attention to the details, but given the subcommittee tasked with coming up with a new formula has been working on this for more than *two years* it sure looks like a deliberate attempt to disadvantage smaller parties #ableg /3

Longer-term $TICK is on the zero line (though this calculation is deceptive as in OVERLY OPTIMISTIC - even an over-optimistic measure with inherent quantization is at signficant risk of a major breakdown)

“Fear not, fellow Romans. There will never be hereditary emperors. ‘Imperator’ just means ‘general,’ not ‘king.’”
“So I said, ‘No, you need to learn your American history. In the dark ages, the Presidency didn’t used to be a hereditary office at all. It was elected, like an abbot in a monastery.’ Can you believe that recruits to the Imperial Household Guard don’t know these things anymore?”
Look, buddy, you can't just come to the American Union and utter blasphemy. We're not gonna hurt you. We're just gonna bring you downtown to talk to the Inquisition.

Today is the 6th Friday of the #GreatReturnMarch. Last Friday there was a more organized attempt to reach the #GazaFence & Israeli army promised to respond harsher. Israel also declared human rights laws do not apply to the protesters. 48 killed & ~7,000 wounded so far in Gaza
Meanwhile, Giro d'Italia 2018, the biggest sporting event in Israeli history, begins today (& Israelis bitch about the traffic)
