The Daily Signal - Your Guidebook to Combating the Climate-Crazed Left

You’ve no doubt heard of the Green New Deal, the far left’s favorite piece of legislation. But do you know where it originated? How it became the centerpiece of the left’s agenda? Or that many of its provisions have nothing to do with climate change?

Marc Morano, publisher of ClimateDepot.com, has a new book out Tuesday that answers these questions and more.

Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think” provides Americans with the information they need to refute climate alarmism, think critically about climate change, and counter the indoctrination of young people.

Morano joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to issue a warning about the Green New Deal’s far-reaching implications and what freedom-loving Americans can do about it.

Also on today's show, we read your letters to the editor and share a "good news story" about the history of Passover and how we all can celebrate.

Enjoy the show!
