Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'We are all going to die from changes in the weather'

Alexandria Virginia Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) [who will hereafter be referred to as OC] is so bubbly and all over the news with another brilliant pontification in her field of expertise: climatology. Or is is cosmetology? I forget which.

The congresswoman-elect is taking no prisoners as she doubles down on her first week's agenda in Congress whereby she calls on her colleagues in the House to pass a "Green New Deal," onnaconna [because] "people are going to die from climate change."

Let's not minimize her qualifications to make such a bold statement. OC came in second place in high school in the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, so she knows a thing or two about global climate and other stuff too. Asteroid 23238 Ocasio-Cortez was named after her and I don't believe she had to pay to have it done.

OC cited a report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program released Friday, which is a voluntary committee of scientists from 13 various federal agencies and outside pressure groups, that warned thousands would die, and the US could suffer an enormous 10% reduction in its GNP by the end of the century if human refuse to curb their carbon footprints.

She isn't totally wrong--global warming exists, and humans contribute to it, but it isn't clear how much we do, or what we can do to curb it, certainly if we don't have the cooperation of the other global polluters such as China, Russia and India for starters.

The worst global offender is China, but OC doesn't have a clue as to what foreign policy recommendations we can make to assuage the problem across the globe.

In addition, I don't believe being a googly-eyed alarmist is going to change anything. Nor will OC's socialism do anything to solve the problem.

By the way, a recent NASA report stated that global temperatures have actually dropped over the last two years by about a half degree celsius.
