Pontificating at a Green New Deal rally on Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who just claimed on Sunday that her apocalyptic prediction in January that the world would end in 12 years unless serious action was taken to combat climate change had just been “dry humor,” suddenly returned to her climate change hysteria, stating CO2 levels had reached the highest levels in recorded history and the last time the levels were this high “bacteria and diseases we have never seen before roamed the Earth.”

Ocasio-Cortez ranted, “It was reported today that this weekend for the first time in human history we have reached atmospheric levels of carbon at 415 parts per million. This has never been seen in recorded human history. In fact meteorologist Eric Holthaus and journalist said simply about this measurement, ‘We do not know a planet like this.’ The last time our planet hit 415 we were in the Pliocene period. Oceans were 90 feet higher. Bacteria and diseases we have never seen before roamed the Earth. Humans did not exist. We have never seen a planet like this. And a planet like this is exactly what we are going to get, and it is exactly what we are going to inherit from previous generations if we do not act positively now.”

It’s not surprising that Ocasio-Cortez quoted Holthaus to buttress her hysteria; in 2013, he vowed he would never fly again, tweeting that he “broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I’ve never cried because of a science report before. #IPCC.” Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld reacted, “Someone should tell him that planes are better than driving, as their nitrous oxide causes cooling by ridding methane in the air. But hey, he says he’s the expert. I’m calling BS on this drama queen. This is what dooms environmentalism – dishonest hysterics who put drama before data.”

On Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez backtracked on her 12-year prediction of doom, trying to get out of it by mocking the GOP, tweeting:

But in January, at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t look at all as though she was joking, telling the crowd “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 going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it? This is the war — this is our World War II.”
