Dems' Green New Deal 2.0 'not the way forward' on climate change: Lomborg
Fox News
Bjorn Lomborg, president of Copenhagen Consensus, slammed Democrats’ plans to reintroduce the Green New Deal sressing that a “smarter approach” is needed.
Lomborg made the comments a few hours before Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., reintroduced the Green New Deal during a news conference. Ocasio-Cortez noted that the two also unveiled legislation more than two years ago and now they are expanding that proposal. Ocasio-Cortez said during the news conference on Tuesday that the plan "creates a plan for 20 million union jobs in the United States of America" to rebuild infrastructure, expand access to mass transit, among other things. She noted that the legislation has 103 House cosponsors. The broader idea of a Green New Deal, once an idea on the fringe of the party, has picked up mainstream Democratic support -- a sign of the Democratic Party’s lurch to the left in recent years.
