The Earth is Doooooomed in 10 years without this executive order that will certainly cause issues for the plebes, not people like the mayor and all the big wigs in LA. The stakes couldn’t be higher, you know
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signs city’s enhanced ‘Green New Deal’
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti on Monday signed an executive directive aimed at boosting the city’s Green New Deal initiative to fight climate change.
In signing the executive directive – Garcetti’s 25th since taking office – the 49-year-old mayor insisted the “stakes could not be higher.â€
“We must act this decade to save the planet and create a more equitable prosperous and healthy future for our children and grandchildren,†he said, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
The plan, unveiled in April of last year, sets ambitious goals for Los Angeles to become more sustainable by the 2030s.
“There is literally no time to waste because what we do in the next 10 years will determine the health of our planet and whether there’s a job, a paycheck and a place for everyone in our country,†Garcetti said Monday.
There’s literally no time to waste….except the 10 months since he introduced it.
The plan was originally pitched as LA’s version of the Green New Deal, an economic stimulus concept designed to tackle, among other things, climate change. The Green New Deal has been championed by progressive lawmakers, most notably, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y.
Huh
Happy Anniversary, #GND! ????????
Thank you Sen. @EdMarkey for your climate leadership and mentorship on the Green New Deal. https://t.co/lKMIyeWIxx

Yet, AOC hasn’t demanded a vote on it in the House, and both her and Ed freaked out when Mitch McConnell held a vote in the Senate. If the world is doomed unless we do this stuff, why does it take so long to vote on this stuff? Why does it take 10 months for Garcetti to sign his?
