Praise for Marc Morano “Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think is the ultimate guidebook to exposing and fighting this Marxist plan masquerading as environmental policy. The Green New Deal is simply the old Red movement dressed up as the green movement. Don’t be conned, this is nothing more than a Red New Deal. Everything in your home, your home itself, your automobile, the clothing you wear, the job you have, all of it will be affected. All of it will be monitored. All of it will be regulated. To make you poorer, to make you less independent, to make you less free. Morano’s book reveals it as an enormous power grab by the federal government, politicians, and bureaucrats. If you care about America’s future, read this book.” —Mark R. Levin, author and nationally syndicated TV and radio broadcaster “Green Fraud reveals the radical, extreme agenda behind the Green New Deal. Morano takes you into a history of the environmental movement, the UN agenda, and the socialist vision for America of Ocasio-Cortez. The book reveals that the Green New Deal is not about controlling the climate, it is about controlling us, our economy, our energy, and destroying America. This is a must-read book that shows how the Green New Deal is dangerous, impractical, misguided, and guaranteed to fail with disastrous results for the American people.” —Sean Hannity, host of Hannity on Fox News and of the nationally syndicated radio program The Sean Hannity Show “Marc Morano is continuing the fight against the global warming hoax with a sharp and focused look at the ‘Green New Deal.’ In Green Fraud, Morano shows that the growing movement from the Left isn’t about the climate at all —it’s about controlling every aspect of American lives and implementing broad, socialist policies. The Left’s green activist movement isn’t going away —making books like Marc’s that tell the truth even more important.” —Senator James Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and member of the Environment and Public Works Committee “Green Fraud exposes the Green New Deal’s false premises and so-called ‘solutions.’ Morano’s timely book reveals how the Green New Deal is being backed by a crew of radicals bent on using the global warming scare as a cover to impose socialism on the U.S.A. The book unmasks what the media won’t tell you—the Green New Deal has nothing to do with ‘climate change.’ The Green New Deal is one of the gravest threats facing America. This indispensable book is the most comprehensive takedown of the plan you will ever read.” —Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center “Tired of hearing only one side of the climate debate from the mainstream media? Tired of Hollywood preaching to you about ‘global warming’ while they ignore their own blatant hypocrisy? Tired of failed climate doomsday predictions? If so, then Marc Morano’s new book Green Fraud is your ticket to understanding and fighting back against the climate agenda. Morano’s book exposes the Green New Deal from A to Z. Don’t be climate hustled, read this book.” —Kevin Sorbo, actor and narrator of the film Climate Hustle 2 “Marc Morano’s book Green Fraud provides a factual scientific and political account of the Green New Deal and other misanthropic and self-serving schemes of the global elite and their opportunistic or deluded acolytes. For many important issues, the contemporary mainstream media closely resembles the ‘Ministry of Truth,’ of Orwell’s prophetic book 1984. Scientifically unsophisticated but well-meaning adults and impressionable children have been misled and terrified about global warming and other ‘existential threats.’ Supposedly, these impending catastrophes can only be remedied by surrendering our inalienable rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some fanatics even deny the inalienable right to life. They maintain that the Earth can only provide sustainable support for less than 1 billion of its current human inhabitants.” —Will Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics emeritus, Princeton University, and former Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director of Emerging Technologies on the National Security Council “Marc Morano is number one. Morano is truly the Pete Rose and Hank Aaron of climate contrarians.” —Steven Hayward of Powerline “Morano’s probably single-handedly, in a civilian sense, the guy (other than me, of course) doing a better job of ringing the bells alarming people of what’s going on here.” —Rush Limbaugh, nationally syndicated radio host and bestselling author Rage at Marc Morano “Marc Morano makes for a jocular—and weirdly unapologetic—advocate for what can only be called ignorance.” —Michael O'Sullivan, the Washington Post Morano is a “professional climate smearmonger.” —Penn State University professor Michael Mann “Marc Morano, a prominent denier of established climate change science.” —New York Times Morano is “clearly someone who’s just a straight climate denier.” —former UN IPCC chair Robert Watson “Marc Morano—perhaps the most notorious climate denier in the U.S.” —Media Matters “Just a troll with a love for conspiracy, a hatred for science and reality.” —Seth Borenstein, Associated Press “Morano is one of a relative handful of self-described climate ‘skeptics’ who have wrestled thousands of the world’s leading scientists to a standstill of their own.… They are the ones who have convinced millions that there is no scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-caused.” —environmental columnist Rick Holmes “Morano is the real-world fossil fuel industry version of Nick Naylor.” —The Guardian “Ringleader” of the “climate deniers.” —The Guardian columnist Dana Nuccitelli “Morano left the Senate staff in 2009 for a private-sector career as the P. T. Barnum of climate denial.” —former CNN producer Peter Dykstra “One of the most active pushers of climate science denialism in the country.” —DeSmogBlog “One of the most powerful climate skeptics.” —the German magazine Süddeutsche “Morano.… pretty much chewed up Bill Nye the Science Guy on CNN with Piers Morgan a couple of years ago.” —Randy Olson in a Dot Earth column at the New York Times “An evil person… a badass person.” —Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki Foreword On the day the “New Green Deal” was announced, I was en route to a TV appearance with Tucker Carlson and did a bit of perfunctory Googling in case it came up. The FAQ sheet declared the Deal’s commitment to, in its words, “fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes.” Which would be bad news for me, as I always travel with a flatulent Holstein as my emotional support animal. Go on, try it—twenty minutes out of LAX, you’ll have the first-class cabin all to yourself. And then I forgot about it, assuming that it would be just a bit of (if you’ll forgive the expression) red meat for the hardcore loons that fellows like John Kerry, the flatulent bovine of the climate-conference jet set, would toss out at Davos black-tie galas of the Committee for Transnational Gasbaggery. Six months later I turned the page of my newspaper and was confronted by a photograph of German cattle attempting to graze while wearing what appeared to be metal lederhosen. They had been fitted with these awkward contraptions by scientists anxious both to measure and to contain the poor beasts’ flatulence. And you guffaw and pass on to the sports news— forgetting that, in today’s world, no one who matters is laughing: not Joe Biden, not Justin Trudeau, not Leonardo di Caprio, not the sainted Greta. They’re deadly serious. No pilot program is intended to remain such: if they can put flatulence lederhosen on a cow, they can put them on you. I regret to say that my old chum Boris Johnson, a man who once breezily waved away the subject of global warming with the words “it’s all bollocks,” seems exactly the sort of chap to mandate flatulence lederhosen for residents of designated Tier Three COVID-lockdown zones. Unlike most of us, Marc Morano doesn’t laugh and move on. We face a malign alliance of politicians who “follow the science” and scientists who follow the politics—and he takes them as seriously as they take themselves, and possibly more so. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Marc a few times on TV, and he is every booker’s must-get guest on this topic— trenchant, forensic, effective. His enemies grasp that: in 2019 a peer- reviewed study in a prestigious scientific journal found that Marc ranks as the Number One “climate contrarian” on the globe. If the oceans really do rise to swallow Barack Obama’s and Barbra Streisand’s waterfront property and the planet fries and the lone-surviving homo sapiens on earth are floating on an ice floe with a couple of emaciated polar bears circa 2031 (as Representative Ocasio-Cortez predicts), one of them will surely use the last bars of his dying cellphone to pull up that prestigious, peer-reviewed hit parade and curse Morano’s name to the heavens as they melt into the inferno of the broiling waters. What an honor! Marc should put it on his business card. Take a look around: politicians and activists who can’t save their state or county, town or school district instead claim to be able to save the planet. The Green New Deal is their ultimate omnibus spending bill: it asserts jurisdiction over every aspect of life—which is to say every aspect of you. At their Monday night poker game in Hell, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot must be laughing their socks off: “ ‘Oh, we’re only doing this to save the planet’? Why didn’t we think of that?” Marc Morano is the perfect guide to pierce through the fog of bovine flatulence and delineate the Green New World they’re planning for us. —Mark Steyn CHAPTER 1 The Green Raw Deal What should people know about the Green New Deal? The Green New Deal is the ultimate wish list of the progressive environmental agenda. And it has almost nothing to do with science or “saving the planet.” The Green New Deal would impact literally every aspect of your life, from your lightbulbs to your appliances, to your home heating and air conditioning, to your SUV, to the food you eat and the clothes you wear, to land use and the size of your home, to your job and the prices you pay, and finally to America’s national sovereignty. The Green New Deal is the culmination of a half century of wish lists from the environmental Left. The deal barged on the American scene in 2018. The face of the GND was newly elected twenty-nine-year-old New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC. AOC was a former Bernie Sanders volunteer organizer and a self-described “democratic socialist.” Ocasio-Cortez teamed up with Democrat senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts to introduce a fourteen-page, nonbinding Green New Deal resolution in Congress in February 2019. The resolution attracted over one hundred cosponsors in Congress and was embraced by many of the Democratic presidential candidates. The Green New Deal is an all- encompassing transformation of society that includes energy, economics, social justice, agriculture, transportation, construction, wealth redistribution, massive expansion of centrally planned government control, and a host of new restrictions on Americans in order to—ostensibly—battle man-made climate change.
