Ill just stay in here if someones joins lol

Good thing I muted the sounds on here or somebody would hear the pings

I made a green new deal sign at school as one of my props for mocking aoc for my drama project

That's nice

I actually think the zero emissions part in the Green New Deal is possible

But it can't be done if all other things on the deal need to be done

Zero greenhouse gas emissions?

yea

Wouldn’t that be very hard to achieve?

*Net zero

Net zero means that if there are additional gasses, then we can plant some trees to take it out

Idk about the new green deal

No planes and stuff

The amount of jobs that people will lose and the amount of money it will cost

I am fine with the zero emissions part, but not while combining the other things

Like Universal Healthcare

Well wouldn’t there be new job opportunities for people planting all of the trees and calculating the number of trees needed to plant?

Airplanes are a big problem with zero emmisions

There would be new jobs but would there be enough?

I think it should be net zero emissions + half of the emissions made by airplanes

Well I would say that the zero emissions would be very hard to achieve and take a long time, but it would help everyone in the long run

Air travel is too valuable to the economy

No flight attendants, no pilots, no people working at airports, no people manufacturing planes, no people working for postal companies and such

That’s a lot

Airplanes would still exist

There could be new types of airplanes

Like?

So that jobs would be lost

Electric airplanes?

Something charged via electricity or solar power

It would make jobs to design the airplanes

And jobs to keep them running

And the original jobs would stay intact

That would cost a lot

I think we shouldn't go hard on the airplanes

I know

There’s a good video on YouTube saying why electric planes aren’t possible

But we should go hard on everything else

Idk if I can post links here

But airplanes are a very large contributor
