Daniel Turner: Ocasio-Cortez is wrong again – The world will NOT end in 12 years (11.8 years left)

Only a few days after being sworn in as a member of Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. summarized a 2018 U.N. report on climate change with a dire prediction. The frequently repeated line “we have only 12 years left” is now in the lexicon of almost every Democratic presidential candidate and environmental activist nationwide.

Only problem: it is not true. Science and logic say so, as do the authors of the report.

As The Associated Press reported last month: “There is no scientific consensus, much less unanimity, that the planet only has 12 years to fix the problem (of climate change). A report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, drawn from the work of hundreds of scientists, uses 2030 as a prominent benchmark because signatories to the Paris agreement have pledged emission cuts by then. But it’s not a last chance, hard deadline for action, as it has been interpreted in some quarters.”

Danny must be one of those 'deniers'. Cortez, the UN, Algore, RAT presidential wannabes and every socialist who pimped the Green New Deal can't ALL be wrong. They have a consensus. Danny needs to get his mind right.

Whew! Thank goodness! I’ve really been sweating this one since “the boss” let us in on this little tid bit.

The world obviously did not end 65 million years ago when a meteor strike wiped out the dinosaurs.

It won’t end when the next one wipes out humans, either.

I keep thinking of a novel from a couple of decades ago:

Fallen Angels", by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournell

Set in an unspecified 'near-future' (one of the main characters has childhood memories of the Exxon Valdez disaster) in which a radical left-wing environmentalist movement has joined forces with the religious right through a shared distaste for modern technology. The resulting bipartisan conspiracy has gained control of the US government and imposed draconian luddite laws which, in attempts to curb global warming, have ironically brought about the greatest environmental catastrophe in recorded history - an ice age which may eventually escalate into a Snowball Earth.

As a radical totalitarian environmentalist party now controls the US government, the scientific explanation is denounced as "propaganda from life-hating technophiles", and blame for the ice age is instead solely placed on the society surviving in orbit. Science fiction fandom forms the core of a pro-technology underground in the United States, working in tandem with Hacker movements. Other technologists - accused by the government of pursuing "materialist science" - were removed from their jobs and forced underground, where they were generally unable to continue their work. This rabid distaste for technology has resulted in the collapse of the economy and lack of education and a complicit media has left the majority of the population credulous and easily manipulated. The Greens have been in power for most of the lives of the characters.

Astronauts from the orbital society fly a modified scramjet, redesigned to harvest nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. Government policy declares that these ships are responsible for the ice age, so the scramjet is shot down with a surface-to-air missile. The pilot and copilot, an Earth-born American named Alex MacLeod and a space-born Russo-American named Gordon Tanner, are forced to crash land in Canada atop the glaciers.

Upon hearing of this, the fan underground embarks on a rescue mission - a group of fans rides north through the Dakotas to rescue the astronauts before they can be apprehended by the Government. Upon reaching the Dakotas, the fans must travel largely on foot, as their van is unable to traverse the glaciers. However, they have a major advantage over their foes in the government - their relationship with the space station provides them with superior navigational abilities; following the fall of scientific society, the United States Air Force (USAF) no longer enjoys access to satellite reconnaissance. The fans are able to reach the downed spacecraft well in advance of the USAF.

The 12 year countdown should be kept in the spotlight unlike previous predictions. Memories fade and new lies are created. When they are continually confronted with the countdown and it fails, maybe some cultists will snap out of it. It will also give us plenty of chance to mock them.

The Rules for Radicals opportunity might be successful on this. It would be good to use their tactics against them. (see bold)

1. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
2. Never go outside the expertise of your people.
3. Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.
4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one your people enjoy.
7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
8. Keep the pressure on.
9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

What arrogance. The world will not end for another several billion years. Not until the sun expands and consumes it. Now, we might off ourselves literally any day via an all out nuclear war. Might take a few months or years but we could render the planet uninhabitable by man. Ditto a reasonably good sized asteroid could do the same for us. But end the world? Nope. We are not the world. Though it is easy to see how all these little self-important fascists running around could think so.

“”Thank goodness! I’ve really been sweating this one since “the boss” let us in on this little tid bit.””

But WHO is going to let the “boss” in on this????? Better let her down carefully or there will be dire consequences. She might even jump off a bridge to prove that HER WORLD ended as she said it would. Maybe she’d “speed up” the timeline so we can be spared the rest of her nonsense.

[Moltke]

When you start to argue about an arbitrary time line, you have implicitly agreed to the faulty premise that there IS a problem in the first place.

Don’t fall for that crap.

[realcleanguy]

Fear, running on fear. When you have other else, create a lie that something bad is going to happen, unless you “Vote For Me” and then it will be fixed. How stupid are people to fall for this crap? Cortez is a well scripted con artist

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The world ended in 2012. It doesn’t matter.

[Mrs. Don-o]

MADE ME LAUGH!!

[raybbr]

Would these retards claim success if a volcano erupted and cooled the earth by spewing ash into the atmosphere?

[Vehmgericht]

AOC’s critics are relying on facts. They ignore the morality. Don’t be so reliant on reality. Come join her in Cloud Cuckoo Land.

[morphing libertarian]

Is it getting hot in here or is it just her?

3 MINUTE VIDEO (but the payoff’s in the first 30 seconds)
If the “stuff” on this outrageous Algore sponsored FRAUD I’ve sent in the past hasn’t convinced you that it’s nothing more than another SCAM by the globalist control freaks to stampede us into their One-World corral and out of trillions of our wealth and, more importantly, our FREEDOMS, this will help.   You can frequently get some or all of that wealth back.  Once lost, freedoms generally have to be FOUGHT FOR.
The data for Australia is pretty much the same for all of us, unless, of course, like every leftist, you live on another planet,
Please send it to everyone and post it on every social media venue you frequent as often as the global warming Gestapo will let you.

If the world ends in 11.8 years then party on! Who the h@ll wants party pooping dimocrats in power?

They’re already started to walk back their latest doomsday scenario.
