Super Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t gotten the memo that she’s supposed to recommend a carbon tax, but she is good at aping the standard boilerplate doomsaying from the Cult of Climastrology
(Daily Caller) Democratic Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used social media on Friday to call for the issue of climate change to be addressed “ASAP,†or “people are going to die.â€
“People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP,â€Â Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “It’s not enough to think it’s ‘important.’ We must make it urgent. That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy.â€

It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent.
That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy. https://t.co/bn6NloGlaY

So, if we implement a carbon tax and take away people’s freedom and choice people won’t die anymore? Goodness! Of course, after 30 years of spreading awareness and trying to make it important, ‘climate change’ is typically last or near last on the list of issues that people care about. It is amusing that she wants a big committee to figure out ways to tax/fee you and remove your choice, eh?
As for the report, it’s completely unusual that a big Hotcoldwetdry report says that we’re all doomed, eh? No matter where you go, be it NY Times, Washington Post, ABC News, local news, international outlets, they’re all pimping the same doom. Because that’s what Warmists do. Not one outlet is noting that Humanity has done better than during cool periods, or that mankind has come further that any time in the past during the Modern Warm Period. Nor do the force the authors of said study to prove it. But, how do you prove a prognostication of future doom?
AOC is the perfect person to push this. She wants to take Other People’s wealth and spread it around, while refusing to give up her own fancy lifestyle which includes fossil fueled travel.
It’s so predictable: The warmists get their new way with a new tax stream and a much damaged American economy, and when not a damned thing changes they’ll just say “Well, our intentions were good.” That’s it, and then they’ll move on to the next thing that’s going to kill us all if we don’t act now, and of course it will require a new tax stream to address.
We’ve all seen the movie before.
The GOP keeps cutting your taxes, we thought. And the national debt keeps increasing.
When Saudi Arabia cuts their oil production, gas prices will shoot up – and with no mechanism to relieve the burden on the working classes.
And it wasn’t taxes that caused the Great Recession which harmed the economy much more than increasing the cost of coal and oil.
It was so predictable. First, the right denied it was warming, then they denied CO2 was the cause, now they deny that any good can come from slowing the warming. Let our kids, grandkids and great-grandkids figure it out. One commenter here said god controls the climate – so maybe god will take care of it.
And the proof that people will die….is what? I thought so. More from the panic for profit crowd
