▶️ Hear the Bern: Episode 22 - Bern or Burn: The Green New Deal
https://www.blubrry.com/hear_the_bern/48521082/22-bern-or-burn-the-green-new-deal-w-david-wallace-wells-kate-aronoff/
With the global biosphere teetering on the edge of disaster, Bernie's Green New Deal plan would fundamentally restructure the US economy away from fossil fuels and toward sustainability, development, and justice. Briahna talks to David Wallace-Wells, New York magazine editor and author of The Uninhabitable Earth, about just how bad the climate crisis is. Then, Intercept journalist Kate Aronoff explains what sets Bernie's climate plan apart from the competition. In short, its ambition matches the scale of the problem.
