'People are dying' ‘This is not an elitist issue’: Ocasio-Cortez delivers a fiery speech on climate inaction

Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave an impassioned speech during a committee hearing in response to Republicans push-back on her climate change policy, the Green New Deal. ‘You want to tell people that their desire for clean air and clean water is elitist?’, she yelled. ‘Tell that to the kids in the South Bronx which are suffering from the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country … You’re telling those kids that they are trying to get on a plane to Davos? People are dying!'

Wow, I wish more politicians around the world were more passionate and forthright about what they believe in!
