Democrats and the always delayed end of the world

Leftists often mock Christians who think that the end of the world is around the corner which is odd since it's leftists like Al Gore and Ocasio-Cortez who are the loudest proclaimers of impending doom.

Ocasio-Cortez has recently proclaimed that the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't do something about climate change.  What's interesting is that her claim was made 10 years after Al Gore said that the world would reach a point of no return in 10 years. It's also interesting that no credible scientist, even those who support the idea that man is causing the world to warm, supports Ocasio-Cortez's claim.

Despite's Gore's claim having been demonstrated to be false Ocasio-Cortez is issuing a new ultimatum.

We know that Ocasio-Cortez is either insincere or dishonest since under Trump the US has decreased our CO2 emissions. The real offenders, India and China, are massively increasing their CO2 emissions, as allowed by the Paris Accords, yet no one on the left is calling for us to force them to even hold their CO2 emissions constant.  Either Ocasio-Cortez doesn't know which countries are driving up the global CO2 or she does and doesn't care since she knows that the whole climate change story is #FakeNews.

Despite the fact that for 20 years the satellite data, the most accurate temperature data we have, has been effectively constant the left is calling for a massive increase in taxes-- giving them more of our money to spend--, drastically higher energy costs--which will hurt the poor and lower middle class the most--, and more government power over every aspect of our lives.

It's all about Democrats having more power and we the people having less freedom.  If the Democrats cared about Global Warming...err Climate Change they would never have supported the Paris accords which allow China and India to massively increase their CO2 emissions. If the Democrats cared about CO2 they'd be commending fracking which has lead to a significant reduction in the US's CO2 emissions.  But the democrats have done neither because doing so would reduce their power which is all that really matters to them.
