Whether it’s photoshopped or not, it’s someone that’s not funny trying to be funny. It makes your argument seem really weak when you focus on a nothing issue like this.
She wrote it and the cleaned up version isn't much better. Politics is about finding stuff like cow farts to make a lasting impression good or bad. Trump said there were good people on both sides. Kind of but it stuck
Cow farts will stick
They still want to eliminate all fossil fuels which is insane all by itself. Using jets and trains to illustrate that is fair game IMO
She needs to take the abuse and stand tall and deliver her message and take back the high ground like any other politician does. To back track and stretch it out 30 more years when we are in a 12 year death spiral isn't going to make enough people take her seriously
I'll acknowledge I am a lost cause and need to die off (like that will happen) but it isn't just old fucks laughing at this point

But then there was the unofficial version. Early in the day, Ocasio-Cortez’s office sent out a FAQ to reporters that read a bit like the Green New Deal Uncensored—as if the resolution had gotten drunk at an office party decided to tell its co-workers exactly what it thought of them. Nuclear?
What is my "argument" Kunt? My argument is that Hondo is a gullible fucking moron who is claiming a document that was sent out by AOC and then hosted by NPR and linked to by Slate was photoshopped.
That's my argument. If you want to get on-board Hondo's dipshit train hop on it pal. Choo-choo dumbfuck.
Call me when they ban farting cows and airplanes. Idiot.
Call me when you provide a whit of evidence that document was photo-shopped dumbass. I haven't even comment on the content of that piece of garbage, I'm still dealing with your dumbfuckery.
Clarifying Green New Deal goals The biggest update to the original Green New Deal blueprint is that Ocasio-Cortez is now calling for the U.S. to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Her previous proposal simply called for "eliminating" the emissions from the transportation, agriculture and industrial sectors.
Reaching net-zero emissions typically means the U.S. would still be emitting greenhouse gases, but it would not release more of them into the atmosphere than it can remove or store.
The lawmakers are targeting net-zero status because they are not sure they can entirely cut emissions from sources such as livestock and the aviation industry.
Energy researchers and policymakers previously told CNBC that trying to achieve the climate goals in 10 years could create unintended consequences that undermine progress towards decarbonization. Some of the revisions released on Thursday appear to acknowledge the potential complications from a rapid energy transition.
Ocasio-Cortez also clarified that under the plan, the U.S. will not invest in new nuclear power plants, but existing generation stations would be allowed to continue operating at the end of the 10-year time frame. Nuclear power plants generate 20 percent of the nation's electric power and 63 percent of its zero-carbon power.
"The goal is to use the expansion of renewable energy sources to fully meet 100% of our nation's power demand through only renewable sources in 10 years, but since no one has yet created a full plan to hit that goal, we are currently unsure if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant that fast," Ocasio-Cortez's office said in an FAQ.
The lawmakers do not explicitly rule out carbon capture and storage — technology that strips CO2 from emissions and sequesters it underground — but they say their preference is to plant trees and restore ecosystems. CCS technology has not been proven viable at commercial scale.
The bill calls for a "10-year national mobilizations" toward accomplishing a series of goals that the resolution lays out.
(Note: Ocasio-Cortez's office released an updated version of the bill on Thursday. The earlier version, which we had included in a prior version of this story, is still available here.)
Among the most prominent, the deal calls for "meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources." The ultimate goal is to stop using fossil fuels entirely, Ocasio-Cortez's office told NPR, as well as to transition away from nuclear energy.
In addition, the framework, as described in the legislation as well as a blog post — containing an updated version of "FAQs" provided to NPR by Ocasio-Cortez's office — calls for a variety of other lofty goals:
"upgrading all existing buildings" in the country for energy efficiency; working with farmers "to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions ... as much as is technologically feasible" (while supporting family farms and promoting "universal access to healthy food"); "Overhauling transportation systems" to reduce emissions — including expanding electric car manufacturing, building "charging stations everywhere," and expanding high-speed rail to "a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary"; A guaranteed job "with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations and retirement security" for every American; "High-quality health care" for all Americans.

Why didn't she just come out and say her original document wasn't real and had been photo-shopped?
Does she still promise an income to people even if they don't want to work? I can't tell you how great it is that 4 or 5 of the Rats running for Prez jumped on board this dipshit train and endorsed this pile of steaming crap.
Cow farts will be the lasting meme. AOC is young, she’s probably got a bunch of kids working for her, and they thought it would be funny to slip farts into a position statement.
Her desire to eliminate nuclear power is the real problem. It shows that she’s not serious about clean energy and prosperity. Or science. It also has that undercurrent of misanthropy that’s part of more extreme environmentalism.

I’m not going to take stuff like this seriously. She’s not serious, despite advancing the cause more in a month than most politicians who believe in climate change had done in their whole careers. Oh and she hates humankind.

Is this kind of like how you've taken Trump so super seriously on shit the thinking members of his base have disregarded?

That’s relieving, she’s completely full of shit and ignoreable.

I didn't lie. I pasted what she said. Backtracking because it was stupid to something slightly less stupid isn't a winner IMO
Net zero is the same bullshit Gore peddled with the emissions credit scam
