Hey Jeremy, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

As a homeowner who preserves 1.5 acres of green forest on our own Appalachian homestead, I'm as green as the next guy.

I fully agree that our excess of carbon emissions is a destructive factor in the degeneration of our natural earth. Back in '70's I started a newspaper in Asheville to address some of these issues.

We need to work together towards a 0-emisssions economy. But that is not going to happen overnight.

This statement of yours . . . " the most powerful people in all of these realms," alarms me.

Improving our world--and the necessary reduction in carbon emission--is a project that will require citizens participating on a very large scale.

To make it into a cause validated by the "most powerful people" is a dead end.

It's not about getting the powerful people on your side; victory over carbon emissions and pollution will be achieved only when all the the people. . . "we the people" are brought on board the project.

Your well-intended criticisms of the climate-deniers does not permit your big-brother attitude toward censorship at facebook or any other frivolous social media.

The green new deal, or any other green program, needs to be brought forth by persuasion, not by censorship and stalinistic compulsion.

Live free and live green!
