if you want to deal with climate change, yes, it most certainly does. there have been several studies on how giant corporations and the rich account for the vast majority of pollution and climate changing activity. sorry that science doesn't give deference to capitalism? as if capitalism has at any point given a crap about the environment?
Folly and fakery have always been with us... but it has never before been as dangerous as it is now, never in history have we been able to afford it less. - Isaac Asimov
Every damn thing you do in this life, you pay for. - Edith Piaf
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. - Orwell
No amount of belief makes something a fact. - James Randi
The climate changing is testable so that part of it is scientific, but the government policy that claims to solve it or maximize human metrics isn't scientific at all. It would be untestable which means it's not scientific.
What percent is the "vast majority"? Also where is the source?
Science doesn't support or care about human ideas like capitalism and socialism. That's a good thing that science isn't politically and ideologically biased.

Impossible, science is only about creating and physically testing explanations. Science cannot determine human actions. We can only only act based on our *interpretations* of what is true and scientific.
Implementing policy that maximizes liberty or business prosperity isn't science either. Capitalism and libertarianism isn't anymore scientific than environmentalism and socialism.
100 companies account for 70% of carbon emissions and the top 1% pollute more than the bottom 50% like, one of these came out not that long ago..
exactly, so what liberties and freedoms are at risk here when it comes to dealing with climate change?
Is this the original Green New Deal or the compromised second draft.
/s
I don't have access to the second article but as far as the first one I disagree with its premise. It's saying that oil producers are responsible for the emissions of consumers, which is idiotic.
Environmental regulations are based on limiting liberties.
scientism lmfao
gimme that deal and vaccine right goddamn now.
Conservative thinking is the new nazi mindset. We need a far left candidate in the chair after Biden so we can properly label these fuckers including MAGA as terrorists and far as the right-wing republicans spouting conspiracies about the climate and viruses we need to punish them enough that hurts them financially in the long run so we'll never see them again and it'll be hard for them to grass-root anything.

I'm all on board with the concept of the Green New Deal. The specifics of a particular resolution I could quibble with the details of, but it is important to decarbonize and to do so in a way that bolsters the economy in a fair way...and doesn't screw the already marginalized, as is usually the case

The GOP even accepted the reality of climate change until Obama wanted to save the planet. Of course, then there's the fossil fuel companies that knew it was happening and sat on their hands...
