"We talk about cost—we’re going to pay for this whether we pass a Green New Deal or not. Because as towns and cities go underwater, as wildfires ravage our communities, we’re going to pay. And we have to decide whether we’re going to pay to react, or pay to be proactive." -@AOC

This is not merely the latest @AOC Viral Clip, nor would I think she'd want it to be. It is a clarion call. The Midwest is flooding right now, as is Mozambique. Climate change is ending American lives right now, and many more all around the world. Wake up.

3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María. The Midwest is drowning as we speak. 100s of Flint families were pumped w/ poisoned water & our water infrastructure is imperiled across the country. GOP thinks this is a joke. They choose to laugh+delay. We choose to lead. #GreenNewDeal

.@AOC: "What McConnell's doing is that he’s trying to rush this bill to the floor without a hearing, without any markups ... — because he doesn’t want to save our planet. Because he thinks we can drink oil in 30 years when all our water is poisoned.”

The GOP’s climate delaying is costing us lives + destroying communities. Iowa, Nebraska & many in the Midwest are catastrophically flooded right now, in one of the 1st major climate change disasters of 2019.

Yeah, but what about Israel? Are you antisemitic? We have to give the more aid first.

Despite the screeching you hear, Climate Change is FAR from proven. Now screech at me.

Every point made by the OP is demented nonsense. Anthropogenic climate change is nothing more than quasi-religious, pseudoscientific horseshit motivated by political ideology and greed. Not one thing that has been predicted by Gore and his ilk has actually come to pass.

Climate Change has been proven, what we don't know for sure is how much of this is anthropogenic and how much of it is natural? Also who is going to make the sacrifices? Obviously the elite left aren't going to be the ones who make the sacrifices or else they wouldn't parade around the country in their jumbo jets. The final question is how severe is it and are the effects reversible, this is really a grey area because we have people like this brainless bimbo who say that climate change is going to kill us in 12 years which isn't based in scientific fact, it's just a bunch of heavy handed fear mongering. The point is I am kind of sick of being lectured to about my carbon footprint by a bunch of elite liberals whose carbon footprint is far higher than mine as I drive a hybrid and I barely go anywhere.

Climate change has been going on continuously for billions of years. Anthropogenic climate change is nonsense that has not been proven by any science that is not ideologically biased. If it is going to get warmer, it is going to get warmer, and raising our taxes and making us drive golf carts won't do a damned thing to prevent it. Gore, DiCaprio, and their ilk vomit more carbon into the atmosphere every day than I do in a year. Your priests are lying hypocrites and mentally disturbed teenage girls.

Sorry but that is not true. Climate change is cyclical, thousands of years of global cooling (Ice Age), then global warming (where we are now). Check out the NASA/Climate Change website. Indeed there is proof.

[–] TimMC (9143) 4 years ago

Climate Change or whatever the name is this week IS NOT PROVEN and never will be. Scream all you want, that won't change. Call me terrible names, it won't change.

HELL YES I AM EDUCATED.

LOL
