Environmental extremist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a shot at Joe Biden earlier this week, railing that she would “be damned” if he thinks a “middle of the road” approach to global warming is acceptable.
The New York Democrat, who recently hinted that she’d be open to endorsing a candidate in 2020, has made it clear that Biden is not her personal favorite.

Just last month, Ocasio-Cortez said a Biden campaign “does not particularly animate me right now,” and that she “[doesn’t] want to go back,” she “want(s) to go forward.”
Now, she’s declaring his lukewarm embrace of her radical Green New Deal is a dealbreaker.
“I’ll be damned if the same politicians who refused to act (in past decades) are going to try to come back today and say we need a ‘middle of the road’ approach to save our lives,” she said at a rally for the widely-mocked global warming policy.

The comments were a direct jab at Biden whose campaign revealed he was seeking to “find middle ground” when crafting a policy to aid the environment.
Save Our Lives
It’s funny to see Ocasio-Cortez return to her hyperbolic rants on climate change when she recently mocked Republicans for actually believing her when she said the world was going to end in 12 years.
“You’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal,” she scoffed in reference to her own comments.
And just like that, we’re back to ‘we need the Green New Deal to “save our lives,” like OMG.’

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments came in front of a rally for the Sunrise Movement, the same group she helped in staging a global warming protest inside of Nancy Pelosi’s office.
Teaming Up With Bernie
The Hill is reporting that Ocasio-Cortez seemed to be providing an “assist” to Bernie Sanders, coordinating their attacks on Biden as the former vice president runs away and hides in national polling.
Last week, the Political Insider suggested that any endorsement by AOC would most likely be granted to Sanders. He is, after all, nearly as radically communist as Ocasio-Cortez in every way, while she has previously served as an organizer for Sanders’s presidential campaign.

But they’re not going to win a battle with Trump, even if they gang up.
Hours earlier, the President declared the Green New Deal, which nearly every other Democrat has endorsed, to be a hoax.
“The Green New Deal is a hoax like the hoax I just went through,” Trump said during a speech in Louisiana. “I’m not sure, it might even be a bigger one. And mine was pretty big.”

Well, I’ll be damned if I give even the slightest damn what she says.
Translation: We are not going to take half measures on our push for socialism. We are going all the way for the jugular. Climate change is just a smoke screen to consolidate government power and control. And the details of her program would be devastating to much of the county. She would shut down coal mines and the oil fields along with the petroleum industry. This would cause economic chaos and ruin for my home town of Houston and much of the surrounding area. And that would just be the beginning. She and the others are attempting to scam us big time.
She got one thing right…..she will be damned!
Oh she’d still fly everywhere she needed to though…
His brand of climate change as opposed to her brand of climate change? How about nature’s brand of climate change? Climate change is what it is (or isn’t). It has been going on long before humans and will continue when we are gone. But this is not really about climate change. That is just a front. A lot of smoke to hide the scam. This is about power and control. It is about the expansion of the federal government to control resources and their distribution. Has anyone bother to look at the details of her proposal? There are a number of different aspects. One she proposes to eliminate cattle because they emit greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide. This would of course be the ruin of ranchers and dairy farmers. It would also eliminate many of our favorite foods. For me that would include steak and ice cream. Also humans breath our corban dioxide and plants depend on it for growth. Two, she would eliminate the combustion engine. That doesn’t just mean cars but all machines that depend on fossil fuels to operate. She would also shut down all coal fired electric plants as well as nuclear one. She was have us rely on solar and wind power. She would ground all aircraft. There is a lot more but need I go on. She would set industry and society back two hundred years.
This is my demented idealistic global warming climate changing idea and you can’t use it Creep Joe. Go find your on demented idealistic cause and leave ours alone. Or I’ll take my football and go home.
We need a DemocRAT candidate who will center their campaign on the new green deal. That way Trump won’t have to campaign so hard himself.
even if you could get all the super powers to agree on some radical pan to reduce (global warming), it would only be a drop in-the-bucket to where the real problems are today. and that would be with any 3rd world nation which allows unrestricted dumping of every toxic substance we can wind up with. there are so many remote, undeveloped countries that have years of dumping toxic materials into waterways, oceans, and where ever they deem it’s necessary. take for example the countries which are major players in “ship breaking” that action has to be one of the top activities which the end result is an abundance of hazardous materials which freely migrate right into waterways, and the earths surface. there was several locations in brazil which were under review to be used for olympic events. but due to the severe levels of dangerous and highly poisonous products which have been dumped for years into these locations. they were so polluted that the people taking samples for water testing were required to wear full haz-mat protective suits similar to ones used to enter areas containing high levels of radiation contamenation.
? Don’t Cry For Me Dictator AOC…? Well, you and Biden both suck…
But, but, I thought she was just KIDDING about the world ending in 12 years? Now the Climate Apocalypse is ON again? I wish she’d make up her mind! :D
Ummm…hey, Accidentally Occasionally Coherent,
The child barmaid said “SHE’S THE BOSS “
” to be thought right rather than to be right” pretty much captures it.
When you have a system of nonlinear differential equations exhibiting chaos then you can adjust parameters and get any solution you want. I can create such models, and even have a set of exact solutions to Einstein’s equations whereby choice of an integration constant leads to a totally different answer. As you say, comical, and human nature to take advantage of ambiguities. It’s more important in the short term, to many scientists, to be thought right rather than to be right.
Having to rely on climate models based on such obvious subjectivity and corrupt “science” to fuel their “religious” fervor makes all Science look bad, unfortunately. Peer pressure is the bane of all good science, as practically every major advance in science has been provided by outside thinkers. The very Principles they work so hard to discover and formulate are not recognized within themselves. It’s quite comical, really.
It’s quite interested to read that during the last 12000 years the sea level has risen by 400 feet. That’s four inches a century. A recent estimate says it may rise about a foot or so in the next century. Clearly, we’ve been in a warming trend for some time. It’s not impossible that human activity has increased it somewhat, but what people don’t realize is that entropy–the tendency of energy to degrade and disperse, for systems to become more complex with time–virtually precludes reversing what we may have done. We can’t predict well enough to design a solution, and if we did, it would takes hundreds of years to see if we had calculated it all right.
AOC you are not very bright ,try wisdom shut your mouth meja !
Cortez ” You are to much for me ” Put a sock in it.
She needs damning..Preferably by Gods anathema.
The entire global warming fiasco…is nothing but an attempt to terrify voters into voting for extreme nut cases…and forever changing our country into a socialist / communist sheet-hole…
Carbon levels today…are not one micro gram higher than they were 100 yrs ago…when records started being kept…In fact, if carbon levels were to elevate…the tree leaves and grasses would be a deep, deep shade of green…because increased carbon would simply trigger all plant life to increase their photosynthesis…and the end result would not be an increased level of carbon…we would see an increased level of Oxygen…which plants convert carbon into…
While I do believe the world is slightly warmer…I believe this is caused by the destruction of trillions of trees…over the past centuries…Trees are the Earth’s coolant…As anyone knows who has ever taken a walk on a hot day…the shade provided by even one tree…can be 10 degrees cooler than in the direct sun…a small forest can be as much as 30 degrees cooler…
AOC and her NGD will destroy our entire world…because if the US economy is ever destroyed…our military will then be destroyed due to lack of funds…Our military keeps the oceans safe from muslim pirates…which makes global trade possible…and also has caused peace in 80% of the countries. Without trade…3rd starvation will come back…in every 3rd world nation. If the US falls…the world does too…She is too immature to even make sense…
Sounds like Hillary’s come and go accent
Y’alll don’t seeeem to bee actin’ like very gooood Democrats. Why, I jussst dooon’t unnerstaant whyy you’d bee fightin like dis.
