During the early days of the Cold War, many Americans were concerned about the “Red Menace” or the influence of communists. Today, we need to be concerned about the “Green Menace” or the influence of communists.
So much of the radical green agenda has little to do with protecting the environment. It’s really about expanding the power of government and dictating how you can live your life. But don’t take my word for it.
According to the Washington Post, Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, recently said this about the Green New Deal:
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all… Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”
This radical view is nothing new in the environmental movement. Several years ago, Naomi Klein was very candid about the goal of “serious environmentalists,” when she said this:
“You can set up carbon markets, consumer markets, and just pretend, but if you want to get serious about climate change, really serious… then you need to be intervening strongly in the economy… You have to really seriously regulate corporations and invest in the public sector…
"These climate deniers aren’t crazy – their worldview is under threat. If you take climate change seriously, you do have to throw out the free-market playbook.”
In other words, if you believe in free markets, your “worldview is under threat” from those who are “really serious” about the environmental movement.
In addition to destroying the best economy the world has ever known, the Green Agenda could well be utterly meaningless. More studies are calling into the question the so-called “scientific consensus” on climate change and our culpability for causing it.
