In 'The Green New Deal, Explained,' by David Roberts on February 7,2019, it states that the Green New Deal is a protest whose primary goal was to make democratics come up with a climate change solution. The republicans ignored the problem of climate change or pretend tat it doesn't exist and everyone's final hope is the democratic party who says that there is an issue, but still they hve not came up with a plan to fix the problem of climate change. In the article 'Reflections on climate change communication research and practice in the second decade of the 21st century: what more is
there to say?' by Susanne C. Moser the article shows research spo that the audience could have an understanding of how our future will be if climate change continues to be an issue in our society. The article discusses challenges that going forward in life that will affect climate change communcation, meaning the way that society talks about climate change, because some poepl chooseto ignore the fact that it is an issue and others acknowledge it. This ties in with 'The Green Deal, Explained,' because replublicans ignored the fact that climate change was an issue and the democratics acknowledged it, but even though they acknowledged it, it didn't change anthing because they didn't come up with a plan for it. In 'Environmental Data Justice and the Trump Administration: Reflections from the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative,' by Lindsey Dillon, Dawn Walker, Nicholas Shapiro, Vivian Underhill, Megan Martenyi, Sara Wylie, Rebecca Lave, Michelle Murphy, Phil Brown, and Environmental Data and Governance Initative, it says how the EDGI was formed after the U.S presidential election in November 2016 to respond to the threat posed by the Trump administration to environmental data and policy, and to federal environmental agencies. The author states that no competing financial interests exist. The author is saying that there is no such thing as competing financial interest.

In my own opinion I feel dissapointed because I feel as though if you believe in something, you should always go and fix the issue. I feel the only reasons that the republicans feel like there is no issue is because they don't want to fund any money to the citizens. If they admit that there is an issuethen they have to give reperations out, so instead they pretend that nothing is going on. I'm dissapointed in the democratics because they knew what was going on and they still never came up with a plan to fix the problem. It's one thing to admit that there is an issie, but it's entirely another thing when you fix the issue.
