Grabien News ^ | 22 | By Tom Elliott

Posted on 01/22/2019 5:53:30 AM PST by DCBryan1

he world is going to end in 12 years unless the government takes action, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday at a Martin Luther King forum in New York City.

Here’s an excerpt from her interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates:

“And I think the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we’re like, the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change. You’re biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it? — and like this is the war, this is our World War II. And I think for younger people looking at this are more like, how are we saying let’s take it easy when 3,000 Americans died last year, how are we saying let’s take it easy when the end person died from our cruel and unjust criminal justice system?

I have read her statement a couple of times and still am not able to understand what she is babbling about. Her incoherence in speaking is astounding.

Just a few from when I was a kid in the 70’s....
1. Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years (1970)
2. 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next 10 years. (1970)
3. Population will completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. (1970)
4. Thirty years from now the entire world will be in famine (1970)
5. In a decade urban dwellers will need gas masks to survive air pollution. (1970)
6. Child bearing will be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license.
7. By the year 200 there won’t be any more crude oil. (1970)

I thought that the world as I knew it ended when Clinton was elected. When Hussein was elected I was sure. Trump gives me hope

We should certainly listen to advice on life and death from a graduate of Boston University who was making a living as a bartender.

But wait, Occasional Cortex’s hero The Goron said catastrophic flooding was going to start happening in 2012!

Notice the fake global warming “crisis” events are always being pushed out to 10 to 12 years in the future.

Occasional Cortex: Stupid, stupid jack@ss with an ugly jack@ss face and teeth.

Saw a fellow I am acquainted with on a forum state he didn't have children because he felt bringing them into this world was a form of abuse with the threat of "climate change" . . .

I approve. The more enemies of freedom who choose not to spread their evil to another generation, the better.
