AOC’s latest tactic to promote her radical Green New Deal: exploiting tragedy. The Hill reports: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday pointed to the catastrophic California wildfires as evidence of the drastic effects of climate change. “This is what climate change looks like,” the liberal firebrand said in a tweet. “The GOP like to mock scientific warnings about climate change as exaggeration. But just look around: it’s already starting,” she added, linking to footage of wildfires in Vallejo, Calif. “We have 10 years to cut carbon emissions in half. If we don’t, scenes like this can get much worse.” What AOC fails…

Yesterday, the mayors of New York City, Los Angeles, and of several other U.S. cities joined C40 coalition members from around the world to push a global version of AOC’s Green New Deal. Great. FOX News reports: The freshman New York congresswoman traveled to Copenhagen for a meeting with the C40, a group of 94 mayors led by Los Angeles’ Mayor Eric Garcetti — who was just announced as the group’s new chair. The plan aims to halve carbon emissions by 2030 through cleaner alternatives and the “strictest possible building codes.” It also seeks to achieve the Paris Climate Agreement’s goal of keeping warming…

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rolled out her “Green New Deal” earlier this year, she neglected to include a price tag. How many trillions would we need to spend and raise in taxes to fund a government takeover of healthcare, a forced transition to “green” energy, the potential elimination of air travel, and free cash for those unwilling to work? She refused to say. This was deliberate. AOC’s refusal to say how much her plan would cost was a feature, not a bug, and it turns out it’s based on a laughable economic theory that even Obama-economists are slamming as “a recipe…

While Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” has become a national laughingstock, some corners of the political world are standing by the fanatical plan. In fact, recent polling from Business Insider found that a plurality of left-wing primary voters prefer a Green New Deal-like plan that would force “net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 by any means necessary.” Yes, they want an extreme plan that would force the eco-left’s will on the country by “any means necessary.” And there are growing reports that the far left plans to use this to their advantage to oust longtime incumbents, just as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did…

Even a cursory read of the “Green New Deal” would lead you to the conclusion that the “plan” was never really about protecting the climate at all. Why would the so-called environmental plan include a government takeover of healthcare or provisions to pay people unwilling to work? What does a guaranteed job have to do with cutting carbon emissions? And why did proponents of the bill say nothing about carbon-free nuclear energy or expanding American exports of lower-carbon fuels like natural gas? Why did the plan call for “social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative and…
