Today I am joining @repblumenauer and @SenSanders in pushing Congress to acknowledge the climate emergency. The US isn’t leading on climate, and we must. Let’s join the four leading nations & 740 local governments that have declared a climate emergency. https://t.co/c8FFju2dMr — PolitiTweet.org

Frontline communities are already impacted by the climate crisis & environmental injustice. That’s why they’re named in the #GreenNewDeal. Fixing the pipes in Flint, cleaning the air in the Bronx & transitioning away from pipelines on reservations sets an example for our future. — PolitiTweet.org

When Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in 2012, FEMA’s flood maps - which impact the National Flood Insurance Program (!!) - hadn’t been updated since *1983,* before the government even acknowledged climate change was real and connected to fossil fuels. https://t.co/3z4ig50XF5 — PolitiTweet.org

The severity of today’s flash flood “has climatologically <1% chance of occurring in a given year.” Floods that were once rare (“100-year floods”) are now expected to happen more regularly. I learned in FSC hearings that certain key flood maps haven’t updated in *decades.* 🌎 — PolitiTweet.org

“A glass of water could’ve [beat a 20-yr incumbt]” “The Green Dream or whatever” “Their public whatever” Those aren’t quotes from me; they‘re from the Speaker. Having respect for ourselves doesn’t mean we lack respect for her. It means we won’t let everyday people be dismissed. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Climate change intensifies flooding, wildfires, & extreme weather. It’s more than 1 day or 1 storm; it’s all of them. Places are flooding where they haven’t before; there are 90-degree days in Alaska in June. The GOP will mock & sow confusion until it’s their home swept away. — PolitiTweet.org

If the GOP is suddenly so concerned w/ funding “humanitarian crises” they‘ve created, let’s come up w an *actual* funding package that ensures no person in public housing has to drink poisoned water or suffer cold winters again. Simple: GOP needs to pay NYCHA the $34b they owe. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

NYCHA is in a crisis bc over YEARS of GOP majorities, they refused to fund basic maintenance of public housing to sabatoge it. NYCHA *alone* is owed ~$34 bn. I have vids of hearings breaking down this horrifying neglect. But if GOP wants to fund public housing $ now, let’s go. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Unprecedented flooding is quickly becoming a new normal. Despite that, Republicans are tripling down on fossil fuels w/no plan to transition off them, or make the critical infra investments we need to prep for the climate crisis. Each day of inaction puts more of us in danger. — PolitiTweet.org
