Group of answer choices

a. Climate change and rapid economic transitions both disproportionately affect the poor and marginalized.

b. A jobs guarantee could cost the federal government more than social security, and there is already too much government debt.

c. Obama’s Clean Power Plan was simply not matched to the scale of the de-carbonization challenge, in the same way that the Green New Deal is.

d. Failing to include economic redistribution in the Green New Deal would prevent the U.S. from undergoing a just transition off of fossil fuels.

Answer 1

Answer) Major argument against including economic redistribution programs in Green New Deal is huge costs involved with programs such as jobs guarantee potentially costing trillions of dollars and would require raising taxes substantially,with huge debt on government this part of including economic redistribution could lead to further debts and virtually no economic develiopment for a significant part of this plan,this explanation is reflected in option b) A jobs guarantee could cost the federal government more than social security,and there is already too much government debt,so option b) A jobs guarantee could cost the federal government more than social security,and there is already too much government debt is correct option.
