To avoid a climate disaster we need to make major changes to our economic system, and soon. Passing this ambitious political program will also require populist support, and needs to reverse the rise of inequality rather than exacerbate it (see gilets jaunes). The Green New Deal is the only mainstream political proposal out there close to achieving this. Those who say we cannot achieve this due to deficits, are making a bad analogy between household spending and the spending of the most powerful government on earth that controls its own fiat currency. We've fought world wars, had the New Deal, and continue to spend exorbitant amounts of money on our military. It won't be easy, but we can do this.
