Arguments in opposition

Many Republicans oppose the Green New Deal. They argue that it will increase the national debt. Many oppose it because paying for it may require raising the top tax rate on incomes above $10 million. Additionally, many Republicans choose to ignore the concept of global warming. They tend to see environmentally-friendly policies as a burden and a hindrance to business and the economy. What the Green New Deal's opposers do not take into account is the fact that this problem will become more costly the longer it is ignored.
