Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) retweeted a video showing the extent of the damage already caused by Hurricane Dorian as it ravaged the Bahamas over the past few days.

In her post, the freshman lawmaker writes that the video “is what climate change looks like; it hits vulnerable communities first.”

“I can already hear climate deniers screeching: “It’s always been like this! You’re dim,” etc,” she wrote. “No. This is about science & leadership. We either decarbonize&cut emissions, or we don’t & let people die.”

The minute-long video showed flyover shots of Abaco in the Bahamas with the pilot pointing out all the things on the island that are “gone” following Dorian’s destruction.

I am reminded of the great scene by Groucho: Baravelli May look like an idiot, he may talk like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you, He really is an idiot.

[jmacusa]

[a fool in paradise]

caused by the Industrial Revolution, no doubt.

[Chickensoup]

she is a combination of Maxine Waters and Hank Johnson (Guam flipping over).

Dumb as a box of rocks.

Where was this moron when Camille hit? Oh yeah, not born yet for 20 years so Camille never happened.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

AOC actually gets paid to be stupid.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Bump.

She was singing the “This is what Democracy looks like!” when she came up with this.

I was listening to Hannity last week, and based on what he said about hurricanes, one would think that hurricanes only started hitting the United States in the 1920s. He would not go beyond that date.

He could have said that hurricanes have ALWAYS come ashore, throughout history.

You can't get smart listening to Mr. Potato Head.

This “is what climate change looks like; it hits vulnerable communities first.”

So says The Poster Girl for Ignorant People With College Degrees Who Don't Know Anything About History.

1900 Galveston Hurricane - Death Toll: Estimated between 6,000 and 12,000 dead

1935 Labor Day Hurricane - Death Toll: Estimated Over 400 Dead

1938 New England Hurricane - Death Toll: Estimated about 600 dead

Climate Change didn’t build that!

[ThunderSleeps]

No, it is not. Once again the twit has gotten it wrong. Climate scammers, ah, I mean “scientists” have said that global warming would actually lead to fewer and less intense hurricanes. Something about uneven warming in the oceans and atmosphere leading to a lesser temperature differential and thus less powerful storms. Of course, we’ve also been warned that “climate change” will be responsible for everything from bad breath to racism so...

is what climate change looks like

True. The climate changed from June to September. We had climate change here, too. It changed from wet and mild to hot.

It's going to change again. It's going to go from hot to cooler: Fall. My favorite time of year.

Then it will change from cooler to icy. Then ....................

(What's her point again?)

[Cvengr]

This is what happens when a Satanist is allowed into office.

[ealgeone]

No, this is what a hurricane looks like when it hits an island where the structures are built to withstand 155+ mph winds.

'This is what climate change looks like'

I thought that Puerto Rico was a wake up call for the Caribbeans??

They've had HOW many years to move away or reinforce?
