**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."

Not just any committee will do. No, it must be a

SELECT COMMITTEE

[crusty old prospector]

Hurricanes, flooding, heat waves, large hail stones, wild fires. Details at 10:00 PM.

The only climate change I want to see is the removal of socialist nitwits and other Left Wing Loons from all offices of Trust.

[kempster]

I believe that is going to happen with climate change or without genius.

[scrabblehack]

At least a select committee is temporary, unlike a standing committee. Well, at least select committees used to be temporary. The House has a “Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.”

“There can be only one...”

[Exit148]

She doesn’t mention that even with Climate Change, people are born too.

Hey FReepers, help end this FReepathon. so close and just need a bit more. Help JimRob out!

[Sarah Barracuda]

[gundog]

And at the hands of illegal immigrants.

[gundog]

Seriesly?

[justa-hairyape]

She could send some money of her families wealth to Venezuela to help the starving Venezuelans.

[NormsRevenge]

I wonder if she knows that everyone ever born has died eventually.. and every one of them could make the claim it was climate change that did it. It’s called assuming room temperature, Dearie. Nanny Pelosi has mastered it to a T and she is still with us, I’m sure you will too.

[goldstategop]

I heard it all before... oh wait - the French don’t agree.

[blueplum]

Looks like Occasionally Conscious is being bombarded by lobbyists and is so fundamentally weak of character that she blindly parrots their sales pitches within an hour of hearing them. So far, nothing she has said has anything to do with improving the conditions of the ‘poor’ in the inner-city district she was elected to represent. All she can spout is a bunch of head-in-the-clouds elitist better-than-you propaganda.

[Baladas]

Horse face speaks!AOC may resemble a horse, but the horse is prettier and smarter and better than her in every other way.

[jmacusa]

She sure is. It’s all that fancy book learnin’ she took at that there Harvard school of, of...uh..fancy book learnin’!

[Trteamer]

I just searched the government report. The word “Sun” does not appear at all.. Hmmmmm....

“”People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP. “

From the standpoint of socialized medicine isn’t that a good thing?

Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
Its just some friends of mine that say,
Hey, what’s the matter man?

With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin to meet you.
Were gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, lets go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to
