Speaking at an event commemorating Martin Luther King Day, Ocasio-Cortez expressed how the issue of climate change is a “generational” issue that younger people are more focused on.
“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'" Ocasio-Cortez said.
The Democratic Socialist said the fight against climate change is war and that it’s “our World War II.”
In November, the White House released a federal report that found that the impacts of climate change are being felt across the country, and “extreme weather and climate-related events” are going to worsen in the years to come -- with a significant impact on the economy.
The National Climate Assessment finds that extreme weather disasters “ have already become more frequent, intense, widespread or of long duration and have cost the the U.S. nearly $400 billion since 2015.”
We've only got 12 years until the world ends? Wait...I'm not ready. My bucket list is far too long - looks like I'll have to cut it down some. Should I forgo that trip to Mecca or give up the idea of going to all 30 Major League Baseball parks?
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is what we used to call "tetched." Her critical thinking skills are sorely lacking. Think about it; if the world is going to end in 12 years, what's the point of doing anything about climate change? Even if we stopped all carbon emitting tomorrow, it would be decades before it had any effect on the climate (Theoretically - more likely it will take centuries to lower the temperature.).

Our putz of a Governor, Jay Inlsee, Washington State, is going to give big address in New Hampshire this week to tout his bona fides in Climate Change. He thinks his knowledge and approach to this “problem” will sky rocket him to the White House in 2020.
Simply stated this “nutcase” young woman is certified insane, as is the entire Democrat Party. The end all to this lunacy and insanity, in government and in our great country is American voters that vote to totally destroy the Democrat Party politically...forever!!!
I would say that one day she will wake up with a horse’s head in her bed, but she already does that...
Yep. Jay inslee is running for president.
He is working Iowa and New Hampshire, recruiting paid staff.
Hey that was fast...
Promoted to God already...
Other than for a good laugh why does anyone listen to Ocrazyo? Also I would be ashamed if I lived in the area that elected her.
RE: Other than for a good laugh why does anyone listen to Ocrazyo?
Before we answer that, maybe answering this question will give us a clue — why did the American voters give back congressional power to the Democrats in 2018?
RE: They can’t. She’s too young.
She will be eligible in 2028
The scary thing is, there are so many (especially young) people who swallow her insanity hook, line, and sinker. Decades of brainwashing has made the nutters multi-generational.
>>74 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults would consider voting for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for president if they could.”

and Ted Danson as well.
Did she say this while grinning like a jackass eating briars?
The only thing good about it is hopefully it will keep him out of our state for the next 2 years.
2024, actually; she turns 35 in October of that year.
12 Years? Why 12 years? What exactly is the science here? Why isn’t it 11 years? or 13 years? Why exactly 12 years?
Got that right!
Laugh if you must. But most Millenials agree with her.
This woman is dangerous.
