Hey, Republicans, even if global warming were a hoax (it’s not), don’t you think we could live without carbon fuels?

It seems like another week, another conservative exercise in histrionics about the hoax of global warming. To hear conservatives talk about The Green New Deal, they say that it’s a plot to allow the government to take over the entire energy sector of the economy. They will even tell us that CO2 is not a poisonous gas, that it’s great for plants and that we were headed for another little ice age, anyway.
