The senator displayed images from “Star Wars” and “Aquaman,” as well as Ronald Reagan riding a dinosaur and firing a machine gun, while deriding the Green New Deal.

Utah Senator Mike Lee offered an alternative proposal to the Green New Deal while speaking on the Senate floor on Tuesday: Get married and have kids.

"The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution, but the serious business of human flourishing – the solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places: fall in love, get married, and have some kids," he tweeted, along with a picture of his presentation."Unfortunately, fear is unavoidable when debating the substance of the resolution before this body today – that is climate change, socialism, and the Green New Deal," Lee said.

Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly brought up climate change with more urgency than many other members of the Democratic Party and said that young Americans feel that climate change poses a grave threat. Lee has previously cited concerns about the economic costs of addressing climate change and questioned whether global warming is being caused by humans. His mockery adds to a wealth of scorn Republicans have expressed toward the Green New Deal.Republicans, including the president, have mocked the proposals put forth.

Life's been here for millions of years, now according to aoc if we don't act NOW, we'll be extinct in 12?! Geez, lady... LMAO

Too too awesome! aoc has zero credibility. Anyone taking her seriously is uneducated and/or uninformed. Either way, she chose the big stage, now get served and deal with it..

Brain dead!!!

F...wit!

He’s basically saying don’t worry about it. Liberals believe they can control the solar output so this is the kind of genius we’re dealing with.

If this senator is dumb, people in Utah are way dumber to vote for this guy. 🤡🎈

Idiot!

Like I said before, it’s a mystery how some people, with a high education, think. Wow!

This wasn't funny. It was foolish.

Helloooooo, 1950s!

Create as many little future polluters as possible.

Vaguely interested in purchase of dunce cap...out to check Amazon...

Ummm...WTF!?! Add more people to the world and everything will just be ok? STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES! Let’s all just kick the can down the road shall we? 🙄

Someone should tell him that while he was talking to the cows...mom's were talking to the babies and the babies said...'stop wrecking the planet for us!

Hey Utah! Is this what you want for your next Governor? Good luck with him and 🦖.

Yes lets give in to socialist ignorance and try it what do we have to lose besides EVERYTHING. Only good thing would be new wouldn't be able to orint FakeNews

'...who will correctly blame you for the environmental apocalypse you failed to stop.'

have you ever driven through Salt Lake City the air quality is awful

I love this. First of all Lee was making fun of the report. Second, you’re calling out someone against the most laughable and inconceivable proposal ever created in Congress Well this is the most laughable inconceivable news magazine

Sounds more plausible each time I read the green deal ...

Let’s keep adding humans to an already over crowded Earth. I love babies but their future is in deep jeopardy if tools like this man remain in Congress!

Or as the Senator's fellow Utahn Mr. Jeffs might say, 'find 'em young and find a lot of them.'

Fall in love? Get married? Have kids? Dead God, who is that fascist?

A disgrace to human species!

McConnell Pushing Green New Deal Vote to Put Democrats in CornerThe Green New Deal -- mostly a collection of goals for mitigating climate change rather than a fully formed plan of action -- has been a favorite punching bag for McConnell and Republicans since it was rolled out with fanfare by freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey. Lol...we are all gonna die! LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder What corner?! It’s a non binding resolution. It’s basically just saying yeah we should do something to save the planet. What corner? America wants the Green New Deal, not your inactivity and subsidized fossil fuels

Analysis | The Energy 202: Rick Perry calls expanding nuclear energy “the real” Green New DealThe financial boost comes amid debate in Washington over what to do about climate change. Sure. Just let them blow up and destroy everything within 50 miles radius! Good idea, NOT! I'm going to pretend that he's not really the Energy Secretary because remember how in the 2012 Presidential race, he wanted to abolish the Energy Department. Oh, that's right, he forgot during the debate, so never mind.
