Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore, who founded the pioneering environmental activist group almost 50 years ago to protest nuclear war, met with an outpouring of support from conservatives and weary Democrats alike, after tweeting a scathing rebuke earlier this week to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose toxic Green New Deal has become the focus of the environmental movement.

Moore criticized the Global Warming movement for “co-opting and corrupting” politicians and allowing the environment to be treated as a political football without understanding of the meaning behind the rhetoric.

Major Unions have warned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that her plan will drive the nation into poverty. She plans to end the use of the combustion engine and eliminate private automobiles, end air travel and curtail electrical usage to one hour per day per household.
