From the occasionally used cortex department:
Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Friday at a campaign event that the United States blueprint for beating global warming needs to be the same as the blueprint the U.S. used for defeating Nazi Germany in the 1940s.
So we talk about existential threats, the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II, Ocasio-Cortez said. And so weve been here before and we have a blueprint of doing this before.
None of these things are new ideas, Ocasio-Cortez continued. What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war. We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was Nazi Germany, and axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy.
What she misses is this inconvenient truth a year after President Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, the USA is leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions while many of the other nations are breaking their promises to reduce emissions.

It’s like they couldn’t make their insanity up if they tried. A science fiction or horror novel writer would say... ‘No Way, nobody’d believe it.’

Wow. Best yardstick yet for this chick. TThere she talks, the more we know about how little she knows. Wonder how her district is going to shake out at election time.

Well, yeah, killing off a large fraction of the population would reduce human contributions to environmental change (whatever they may actually be). The wholesale carpet-bombing of major cities would probably cause a CO2 spike that would take centuries to offset, though.

Shes thinking in terms of just taking over all industry and technology and have a great kind ever loving benevolent dictator run the Unicorn powered Utopian government run it all.
And she wants to be in charge of it.
She is a super ego driven frigging nut.

AOC, you first need to join the Air Force. You will lead the Air Force bombing the country that cranks out the most CO2 - That would be China, which produces 50% more than we do. When their industries are destroyed, you will begin bombing the industries in the USA until they are destroyed. After the world economic system collapses, you should be happy.

Yes by all means hit the beaches at Normandy and stop global warming. She couldn’t pass 3rd grade.
