The green new deal is moving at a more rapid pace than the government can try to stop it. We are mostly working from our homes today, we are producing far fewer greenhouse gases, the atmosphere of the earth and the oceans are clearing from the centuries-long attack, animals are coming back because they can breathe again and the coronavirus is to blame. But, should we say 'the coronavirus can take full credit for saving our asses?'
We were on a ticking time bomb where in ten years to maybe 20 years tops, the human race would be all over, we would reach a tipping point from which we would never have been able to reverse until the temperature of our planet would have soared into unlivable hothouse temperatures. Very little life would have survived and we as the most intelligent animal on the planet would have been extinct.
Since Covid 19, however, and because we have been forced to stop using our cars, going onto the freeways of the world and poisoning the air as we moved about the planet, the air is clearing and if this goes on through the summer, the virus will have given us about two more years leeway until we hit the tipping point, the cliff, the final extinction of the human race and most likely all life forms with us.
What the Green New Deal was designed to be was just this kind of scenario but without the pandemic. If it takes a pandemic to save the earth, I'm all for it. A few million people may have to be sacrificed and they will perish in a most horrific way since the coronavirus suffocates its evictions.
But, this is a way to demonstrate just how all of us would die if we don't stop polluting our atmosphere with carbon dioxide.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how they can become part of the solution and help save the human race by continuing to live in this new age of far less consumption.
One thing the virus has proven is that we can all stay at home and get paid to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Yes, we will be forced to continue to make sacrifices, but these sacrifices of today are nothing compared to the sacrifices we will have to make if we let things go much further and we find ourselves on the brink. Imagine having to euthanize half of the word's population so that the other half just has a chance to survive, who will make that decision.
These and many other tough questions are asked and answered in this course.
