One of the co-founders of Greenpeace on Tuesday rejected the climate alarmism of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats, and accused them of proposing a "silly" plan to solve it.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has offered the Green New Deal to reshape the U.S. economy into a green economy. But Patrick Moore, one of the original founders of Greenpeace, called her expensive plan "silly" and repeated his claim that she is a "pompous little twit."
"It's a silly plan. That's why I suggested she was a pompous little twit. Twit meaning silly in the British lexicon and pompous meaning arrogant," he said on Fox News. AD With the defense of Ilhan Omar, will Democrats change their 2020 party platform on Israel? Watch Full Screen to Skip Ads
Ocasio-Cortez has said publicly that she is the "boss" on climate now, since no one else is tackling it. But Moore rejected that suggestion.
"She really rubbed me the wrong way when she said she is the boss, because she can make up a proposal that's completely ridiculous," he said.
"There is no climate crisis," Moore said. "There is weather and climate all around the world, and in fact, carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life."
He said climate change is real, but said it's "not made by people."
"Climate change is a perfectly natural phenomenon, and this modern warm period actually began 300 years ago when the Little Ice Age began to come to an end," he said.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, and that's all they're doing is instilling fear," Moore added.

Moore said people don't understand enough about climate science, and said carbon dioxide is a necessary component of life on Earth.
"This is fake science and it is driving a very dangerous movement on the energy front," he said.
Moore also dismissed the warnings from his former group and others like Ocasio-Cortez, who said the climate will become inhospitable to human life in about 12 years. "Most of the scientists who are saying it's a crisis are on perpetual government grants," he said.
"On one hand, they say the science is settled and people like myself should just shut up because they know what's right," Moore added. "On the other hand, they seem to keep studying forever as if there's something new to find out. And those two things are completely contradictory."
Moore long ago broke with Greenpeace, which stressed he has nothing to do with the organization. "He does not represent Greenpeace. He is a paid lobbyist, not an independent source," the group said Tuesday.
Moore said Greenpeace was a science-based organization when he started it, but then it was taken over by the Left.
"We were hijacked by the extreme left, who basically took Greenpeace from a science-based organization, to an organization based on sensationalism, misinformation and fear," he said.
Moore has been in some public scrapes with Democrats lately. Monday night, Moore tweeted back at Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., after she warned that "climate change is happening."
"Earth has survived Ice Ages, massive asteroid impacts and extinctions, continents colliding & volcanoes building massive mountain ranges," he wrote. "And CO2, the food for all life, is a 'threat to the planet.' Not likely."
A breath of fresh air!
Boss AOC and The Tribe of Subservient Men.
Let’s move her off this to the dihydrogen monoxide crisis. THAT’S the big one!
This is truly one of the best talks debunking the Global Dumbing crowd.
I urge everyone to listen to the entire 30 minutes. Here is a link to the audio:

Especially around 14 minutes, LOL! When/if they stop using fossil fuels (per AOC’s request), people would start starving in the cities. And the food wouldn’t get to the inner cities because the people on the outer part of the cities would steal the food before it got to the inner city, etc.
Mugshots of Patrick Moore (then and now):
He recognizes the fact that A-O-COMMUNIST is an insidious, dangerous, "pompus little twit" that is destroying the DEMON RAT party, and poses a threat to undo all of the work he and others have laid.
As part of “The Green New Deal” they should ban cars for University students.

I’m still trying to figure out how @AOC got to Austin for SXSW on an electric train...
That is very well stated. It is very bizarre that carbon-based life forms have decided that carbon is their biggest enemy.
Did you ever think the US would live out the movie FOR REAL..?
AOC PLANS:
-Making air transport illegal, building bridges to Europe and Hawaii
-Destroying and re-building EVERY structure in the USA using green tech
-Doing away with concrete as a construction input
-Saving money for socialized medicine via fewer funerals
-Eliminating beef-eating pets
-Cross-breeding humans and rabbit so we can all become vegans

Another classic takedown on Global Warming is in Michael Crichton’s State of Fear. As I remember, his prologue essay should not be missed...nor the novel itself.
I think I was in third or fourth grade when I was taught that people breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. At the same time, plants take in carbon dioxide and “breathe” out oxygen.
I don’t recall having any difficulty understanding the concept.
Yeah, but half the country (or more) is dumber than she is. That’s the danger.
After reading her comment, I can understand why she has to pay her boyfriend.
OMG! Like.... like... like... you know what I mean ?
Probably what Lucifer was talking about when he told God that freedom of choice was a bad idea, given that when allowed to choose, humans seem to choose the worst option.
