Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told fans on a live stream Tuesday that if climate change isn’t stopped, glaciers could melt and expose humans to diseases tens of thousands of years old.
“There are a lot of diseases that are frozen in some of these glaciers that scientists fear that there is a potential that a lot of diseases could escape these melted glaciers,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Instagram Live.
“Things that were frozen for thousands of years, and that they’re going to get into our water, and that humans could contract them, and they’re going to be diseases that

You know what toots, we are importing the next plague via open borders. The pretend threat is a distraction from a very real one. Grow up.

Sounds like a plot from a sci fi movie or X-Files.
The only plague going on is Africa Ebola plague which would be allowed into this country if the left had its way on open immigration and open borders.
AOC is none too bright.

Hollywood could use some fresh new ideas, maybe chica loca can move out there for a second career after she is booted out of her current gig.

Maybe now we'll find Jimmy Hoffa, the real Kennedy killers and the alien remains from Area 51. AOC continues to make dumb bimbos look really, really smart.

We've been down that road, #4. An entire hospital was closed and patients transferred after one or more Ebola victims from Africa made their way here. There hasn't been word one of that incident in a month and I'm sure they would have kept that totally secret if somebody hadn't blabbed. This is a much bigger nightmare than centuries old bugs.

Or they could escape thanks to all the global warming fools who are taking core samples and then sending them to research labs for examination. This stuff has been going on for decades. She is so full of hot air sometimes that it makes her stupid even more obvious.

Didn't we have to store The Blob in Antarctica to keep it from wiping us out? I think Taco Barbie's seen too many B-monster movies.

Idiots with a twitter feed..... what a waste of bandwidth.
The facts are that virus researchers have TRIED to find intact influenza viruses from the 1918 influenze pandemic by exhuming Eskimos and whale hunters, long buried in the arctic, and pulling tissue samples.
The viruses were thankfully fragmented and inactive.

I am concerned about diseases "escaping" from piles of feces and syringes in all our major cities. But then, I AM in the reality-based community.
I realize your trouble in following this, if you're not.

A glacier, by definition, is a moving sheet of ice. And as it moves in the direction of the equator, at it's frond end, it melts.
A lipsticked Puerto Rican might not understand that, I guess. Nor would Fat Al Gore.

Diseases are not moving north due to climate change. They are moving north because carriers of the disease are moving north across the US border.

AOC is your typical millennial. Next she'll ask if islands are surrounded by water.
