According to this Newsbusters headline:
PolitiFact Slams Rick Scott as 'False' for Citing Actual Green New Deal Document
On February 25, PolitiFact flagged Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) as “False” for writing in an Orlando Sentinel op-ed that the Green New Deal has a goal of “ending air travel.”
And the truth? From the document, in plain black and white:
“We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”
But that doesn't deter the activists at Politifact, who declare "We rate this statement False".

You just can't make this stuff up.
