COVID 19 and Green New Deal Hypocrisy

There is a glaring inconsistency in the position taken by the promoters of the Green New Deal. Simply put, they should be welcoming pandemics. After all, their ideology is, in the final analysis, based upon the logic of Parson Malthus. That is, the idea that population will always outstrip the resources necessary to support it.

One of the few frank and honest practitioners of climate change politics is the President Emeritus of the World Wide Fund for Nature, Prince Philip, consort of HRH Queen Elizabeth. As has been widely reported the Prince sincerely wishes to be reincarnated as a deadly virus to reduce "overpopulation:"

"Back in 1988, the duke brought up overpopulation when speaking to the German news agency Deutsche Press Agentur about reincarnation.

“In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation,” The Telegraph quoted Philip saying at the time."

Anyone buying into the policy prescriptions of the Green New Deal whether they are aware of it or not, is likewise relegating humanity to an unsustainable lack of resources. This means increased famine, pandemics and wars. 

The alternative is what this author has been promoting for the past 45 years. An economy based upon a mobilization of a scientific revolution in energy production: nuclear fusion.
