Climate change could unleash a variety of diseases that the modern world is unprepared to deal with, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed on Tuesday.

The freshman congresswoman -- and architect of the ambitious "Green New Deal" -- took to Instagram to express how worried she is about the specter of climate change.

"Scientists fear that there's a potential that a lot of diseases could escape these melted glaciers, things that were frozen for thousands of years, and that they’re going to get into our water," she said, "and that humans could contract them, and they are going to be diseases that are thousands of years old that have vectors that we are not prepared for, that we have never seen."

She added that even if glaciers didn't release diseases, climate change would lead to more mosquitoes that could increase the spread of other infections.

... and you Right Wing Freeper Nuts laughed at this air head when she warned you of the danger of cow farts !!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

She never gives up, does she? Wow....

[Cecily]

She doesn’t seem to be worried about the diseases brought to the USA by illegal invaders, however.

[wally_bert]

They never do.

When I go the the library, I can choose between fiction and nonfiction books. How I wish Americans would do the same regarding fairy tale news. Anyone who claims to be a prophet of what is going to happen in the future, especially someone who is NOT trained in science and history, is no more than a fortune teller or a spinner of stories for entertainment. AOC knows she is a celebrity more than a politician and she is doing and saying anything she can to get film and air time. It is working for her because our nation is now running on the noxious gas of ignorance, rather than wisdom. That is the real environmental danger we face.

Border jumpers can bring in all kinds of sh**.

And our immigration laws says we do not accept sick people.

“Climate change could unleash a variety of diseases that the modern world is unprepared to deal with”

The glaciers have been melting since the end of the last ice age, releasing all kinds of bacteria and viruses and yet the world’s population continues to grow.

Isn’t this from a movie?

Watching that clip I was reminded of Howard Beal (peter Finch) on Network.

My wife while watching it said I am deeply scared for the country after seeing that airhead is an actual member of Congress.

[Vermont Lt]

Summer break needs to end. She needs to finish the bag of mushrooms she bought. And she needs to get a new boy/girlfriend.

She has been nuts this week.

[wastoute]

She’s gonna be a Senator before too long. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[fruser1]

Like measles?

[NFHale]

“...She has been nuts this week....”

For a LOT longer than just this week, LT...

[hal ogen]

This child - brained nitwit apparently appeals to those similarly positioned...and there are many of them .

[Beagle8U]

We should send to Sweden in the return trip of that tard boat.

[sasquatch]
