The reason: They are harmful to the climate. – – – In the fight against greenhouse gas emissions in New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to ban the construction of new glass skyscrapers. De Blasio announced on Monday at the presentation of his “Green New Deal” initiative that he wanted to introduce a bill. Skyscraper facades made only of glass are “incredibly inefficient” because so much energy escapes through the glass. De Blasio added that these buildings are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US metropolis. If a company wanted to build a large skyscraper, it could use a lot of glass, but it had to take all measures to reduce emissions. “But building monuments to yourself that harmed our earth and threatened our future – that will no longer be allowed in New York City,” explained de Blasio.
