The actual name is &quot;The REAL Green New Deal&quot; (capitalization theirs.)<p>Hijacking the name of something that already exists by prefixing it with &quot;REAL&quot; activates my spidey-sense. As does, you know, this. Emphases mine.<p>&gt; As we embark on the transition away from fossil fuels, it&#x27;s crucial to understand what a renewable energy <i>regime</i> will look like and what that will mean for the new world.<p>&gt; Contrary to the <i>mainstream myth</i>, what are being called <i>&quot;</i>renewables<i>&quot;</i> are anything but, and neither they nor <i>actual</i> renewable sources of energy can deliver anywhere <i>close to the quantity or quality of energy as fossil fuels</i>.<p>And this.<p>&gt; <i>Climate change isn&#x27;t the problem</i> – overshoot is.<p>I mean, climate change is obviously <i>caused by</i> something, and that something needs to be addressed. Nobody is arguing otherwise.<p>The phrase alone suggests some serious hijacking.
