ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ ON CLIMATE CHANGE, 'PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE'
Newsweak ^ | 11/23/18 | SCOTT MCDONALD

**SNIP**

Enter the Democrats' face of the left-wing socialist, progressive movement to serve notice with a stern warning if it doesn't happen. Newly-elected representative Ocasio-Cortez of New York said "people will die" if action isn't taken now. Ocasio-Cortez fired off this Tweet in response to the 1,656-page report.

"People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP. It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent. That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy."

Her message on the worldwide web comes not long after she sent a message of wanting healthcare and college for Americans, and "our climate to be saved from cataclysmic disaster."

I find it fascinating that all socialist bartenders agree on the hoax.

Occasional Cortex at her best (which is equivalent to an average person’s worst).

This cretin just may give Maxine Waters a run for the dumbest human being in the multiverse.

If she’s going to dole out free college then I want my Bachelors degree after I retire.

These people are nuts. I heard a guy on the radio railing that we have enough stuff. We don’t need anymore stuff and we should stop all manufacturing and no more building.

“People are going to die.” As they do through abortion.

Even if climate change is addressed urgently and importantly by a select green committee, people will still die. It’s what they do.

Unlike the 1000 people who just died in the California fired thanks to the idiot environmentalists.

I wish she would make up her mind. Didn’t she say previously that if everyone got Medicare no one would die. Which is it?

It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it. I don't care.

(paraphrasing Pablo Picasso)

The girl is a moron. Of course, people are going to die. We are born to die. It’s a fact of life.

Senator Charles Schumer of NY is 68 years old. He will be 72 when up for reelection in 2022. No doubt Representative Ocasio-Cortez will be ready to push this old white guy aside and take his seat.

She and Biden would make a great presidential ticket! Whenever they open their mouths, watch out, and whenever girls/women are near Biden, look out!

I’ve never yet figured out exactly what’s going to kill “all these people”. The temperature going up a few degrees will give them all heat stroke? The warming will mean that crops grow further north and... take longer to ship? The sea level may rise very gradually and those who don’t look for homes further inland will sit in their houses year after year with water around their ankles until one day they tip over and drown? Seriously, what is it that’s going to kill so many people?
