Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday pushed the Green New Deal on Twitter Wednesday in reaction to record-hot temperatures in Puerto Rico and wildfire smoke from Canada overwhelming U.S. East Coast cities, saying the world is "unprepared" for the "climate crisis."

"Between NYC in wildfire smoke and this in PR, it bears repeating how unprepared we are for the climate crisis," the Democrat from New York stated Wednesday

"We must adapt our food systems, energy grids, infrastructure, healthcare, etc ASAP to prepare for what’s to come and catch up to what is already here," she said.

Go make me a drink Sandy...

Hey, just cut down all the remaining trees and problem solved. That area of the continent is rather flat so it won’t ruin any scenic views. Replace with farms and ranches to feed everyone.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ocasio-Cortez believes in the “never let a crisis go to waste” idea.

I do have one stupid question for her, however. And that stupid question is, since these fires are in Canada, how is there anything the United States Congress could do about it?

[silent majority rising]

Dementia is no excuse for serving in the House of Representatives.

[Jonty30]

It is mostly a forestry management problem.

Climate Catastrophists are already doing more economic and social damage than actual climate change (if indeed there is any) can ever do in the next 500 years. But that's a feature, not a bug.

Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" meme is a false crisis, invented out of thin air by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations by suppressing Western European culture and technology. This is only the beginning. Ultimately, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.

Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.

I’d much rather Sandy don some firefighters gear and get out there and actually help. Nah....easier to bitch about it and move ahead with NOT maintaining the forests so there’s more to burn next time.

One suspects that Ms. Cortez knows much better than this, and is merely being alarmist and deceitful.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Communists always want a crisis to take control of this population.

[Jamestown1630]

So this idiot thinks that there were no forest fires before automobiles, electricity, &c?

[Yo-Yo]

Canada needs to switch their wildfires to Green solar energy.

[Jamestown1630]

It seems to be an excuse for serving as President...

[Texas resident]

AOC couldn’t figure how to put on the bunker gear and would probably put the helmet on backward.

[ConservativeInPA]

This is not the first or last time smoke has come down from Canada. It makes for pretty sunsets.

[alloysteel]

Wildfires in Canada come under the same classification as volcanic eruptions in the island countries of southeast Asia. It is a force of nature (unless the fires were deliberately set, which is not outside the range of probability), and the carbon dioxide released was only relatively recently sequestered. This phenomena does not significantly change the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which in no way, shape, form or manner affects in the least global warming, or cooling, or any other “climate change”.

Now “particulate matter” is a different thing altogether, and it does negatively affect breathing and general health problems for humanity. But since the objective of the Great Reset of the World Economic Form is to REDUCE the overall human population of the planet anyway, is this not a GOOD thing in their view? Which way do they want things? The optics are almost perfect for their objectives, which is to tax the majority of civilized world population into extinction.

[rktman]

Gee golly. When we have these conditions here in NV we here, crickets. Or oh well, to bad.

[markman46]

Stfu sandy no one cares what you say

[Jamestown1630]

Lightning strikes are the main cause of forest fires. I dread to think what AOC’s brilliant scheme to end those will be.

[ViLaLuz]

So were the fires started on purpose in order to build back better?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Back in 1957, there were Smokey the Bear service announcements on TV warning that there were so many wildfires in the US that if put together they would cover the entire state of Louisiana.
That is 33,522 million acres. We still got a long way to equal 1957.
