I’ve mentioned before that NYC was looking to pass their own version of the Green New Deal (which AOC won’t demand be voted on in the House, and she, co-sponsor Senator Ed Markey, and most Democrats had hissy fits over voting for it in the Senate), and passed it. Now

Well, what’s the carbon footprint of Legos? Can they use them? How are you going to build a new building without steel? I guess some other type of metal, which would be incredibly more expensive. As for the windows, remember that landlords will be be required to retrofit “buildings over 25,000 square feet with new windows and insulation that would make the building’s more energy efficient” which will increase costs, which will be passed on to tenants.
We have twelve years to turn the tide in our fight to save our planet.
TWELVE.
We don't have the benefit of a federal government to lead the way and we can't wait for this president to wake up. It’s on us to make radical change.#GreenNewDeal#EarthDay? ?

De Blasio, asked about taking his motorcade from the UES to Brooklyn every AM for a workout, defends himself by saying he's offsetting the emissions via larger city reductions.

Funny how leading Warmists also get Someone Else to pay for their Bad Weather creating lifestyle, eh? NYC has one of the largest carbon footprints in the world (this site ranks them #3). It is a city that depends on fossil fuels. Taxis, private vehicles, limos, buses, cop cars and fire trucks, ambulances, and all the trucks and ships which bring goods to and from the city. Think you can power all those skyscrapers with solar panels and wind turbines? Good luck.
Bill won’t give up his own Big Carbon lifestyle, but, he’ll make sure you do, and pay more for doing it.
