This has unfortunately aged poorly. AOC is not the person who she claimed to be during this event, she now runs from protesters smh
AOC has done more real work! than Pelosi in the last year, and AOC hasn't even really started! Where was the Climate Change issue since Trump was elected. We need real Fearless leaders, not sameness (Pelosi) have Pelosi share what she knows with AOC in an advisory role rather than back seat. It is obvious AOC speaks directly to the public, a skill no other federal level employee is any good at (Bernie excepted). AOC go, press on, you can do it, and are! Bless you…
Good to see these young folks taking action. Wish they'd figure out the Pentagon impact on climate change too.
There's no time for talk and education? I admire your energy, dedication & commitment – however an education is what you need other wise you are driving a 16 penny nail with a tack hammer – and oh yes – that was wonderful you did it !! – yeah! – here's an 80 pound box – finish the house.
Baby boomers aren't going to help millennials. Radical non-participation is the solution. Though I would love to see a green new deal
This is the most intelligent conversation heard in the past 10 years!
Zero fossil fuels, criminal justice reform and healthcare or we will vote you right back out.
Nancy Pelosi – "climate champion " ??????? Seriously ???? You must be kidding me .
My sincerest apologies for the part I played in this so many years ago and for my lack of involvement currently: I am not only burned out, I feel shame at the greatest of moral depths. If you knew what I witnessed whilst in the front row of this "green new deal" business, you'd wanna pelt rotten eggs at me for how I enabled such a platform. #propagandist
Pelosi is bought off by the fossil fuel industry & she will BLOCK anything regarding climate change! Wake up already!
They need to stop using DEW &harrp on are Land !!! Look it up please!!!ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
STOP IT! You don't have 12 years. An ice free arctic in 2019 or 2020 ensures an abrupt spike in temperatures, crop losses, famine, civil unrest and collapse, then extinction in well under 5 years due to 1,600 nuclear facilities failing catastrophically due to shortages in high tech labor and specialized components. PLUS plankton biomass is down 50%. Our primary oxygen machine is broken and our backup, the Amazon, is being destroyed by Brazil's new president. You have months, not years and instead of complaining or protesting, form Grand Juries and prosecute politicians who show evidence of corruption, ignorance or the slightest unwillingness to move at the speed required to avert extinction. ParisPlans (0rg) has a list of accelerated community-driven solutions. You don't have until 2035 or even 2025. By 2021 we are roasted and toasted, then broiled alive. Its a simple latency heat equation that guarantees loss of cooling across the northern hemisphere, as well as loss of reflective albedo, combined with the rapid rise in arctic methane emissions already taking place. You can do this if you're willing to not just protest, but PROSECUTE and replace corrupt and inept politicans. This isn't a kid gloves boxing match. You're fighting for your lives. Stand up. Get pissed and PROSECUTE.
We don't have time to waste on people like Nancy Pelosi
older people are not going to help you.
Varshini Prakash's excitement gave me goosebumps of enthusiasm. Thank you for beginning with "How do you feel right now?"💞💕 Excellent interviewing, Dharna Noor
Please address our government on geoengineering & weather modification!
These people are wasting their time talking to Democrats. #DEMEXIT #GREENENTER
This girl is an airhead.
A true progressive?
Let's wait until we see how Alexandria votes.
No mention of the banks!! Who do you think is underwriting all these extraction projects?
