🤦 Like leaders that fly high-pollution private jets to environmental conferences, AOC lectures us on the elimination of fossil fuels with her GND (Green New Deal), while she and her staff takes Uber/Lyft everywhere (more than her compatriots), despite being a short walk from the train. When confronted, her reply, "I also fly and use AC, I'm just living in this world". And Al Gore's mansion has solar panels, but his footprint is still 10x mine.


Patrick Moore (co-founder of Greenpeace) on AOC

  • 🍉 He tweeted at her (after finding out that she takes Uber/Lyft instead of public transportation, when readily available), "You're just a garden-variety hypocrite like the others. And you have ZERO expertise at any of the things you pretend to know."[1]
  • 🍉 In an earlier reply to the GND he was even more on target with, "Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get the food into the cities. Horses? If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating. You would bring about mass death." [2]
Now to be fair, Patrick Moore is a scientist and logical human being, so he left Greenpeace when the environmental movement became about scare tactics and disinformation, and "abandoned science and logic in favor of emotion and sensationalism". So he left because he has a fucking clue, unlike the majority of Watermelons. But his unwashed underwear still has more green-credibility than AOC and her army of sheep has.
