It’s not progressive or liberal to support the Green New Deal. In reality — a reality outside of our demented zone of nonsense definitions — it’s deeply, deeply conservative.

It’s conservative because it’s the only viable action that will conserve a habitable planet, a culture that survives, and a livable world for those now under 30. In a sense, it’s the most conservative possible idea out there as little else stands a chance of making much of a difference.

Yes, getting the rest of the world to comply is a problem (though not as big of one as many make it out to be), but one must do the moral thing because it is moral and correct, rather than the ludicrous act of not doing it because others aren’t.
