Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that it's 'legitimate' for young people to ask if it's okay to have children because of the threat of climate change.
Ocasio-Cortez waxed on about the effects of climate change on young people as she made dinner in what appeared to be her apartment in an Instagram Live video over the weekend.
'There is scientific consensus that the lives of young children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question – you know, should, is it okay to still have children?,' she said as she put a tray of chopped vegetables in the oven.

Ocasio-Cortez said climate change is giving young people a reason to question having kids
She also bemoaned the high cost of college for the current generation but said there is a 'moral obligation' to leave a healthy planet to children.
'I mean not just financially because people are graduating with 20, 30,000 dollars worth of student loan debt so they can't even afford to have kids in the house, but also just this basic moral question – like what do we do? And even if you don't have kids there are still children here in the world and we have a moral obligation to them and to leave a better world for them,' she said as she chopped yams.
The average college student graduates with $37,172 in student loans, according to CNBC, a $20,000 increase from 13 years ago.
Ocasio-Cortez expressed concern that water-down legislation to try and counter climate change wasn't enough and would 'kill us.'
'We need a universal sense of urgency and people are trying to introduce watered-down proposals that, frankly, are going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us,' she said.
The freshman Democrat is pushing the Green New Deal is a statement of goals and doesn't make specific policy proposals, nor does it specify how it would pay for its ambitious plans.
The plan aims to slow climate change by ending the reliance on fossil fuels within 10 years; to upgrade power grids and existing buildings for maximum energy efficiency; to overhaul transportation systems; and to provide every American with a job and health care.
Climate change was one of her signature campaign issues.

The Green New Deal became the subject of mockery online as conservatives lampooned Ocasio-Cortez for a communications rollout guide, produced by her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, that argued for a range of environmental remedies including phasing out all air travel and eliminating 'farting cows' from U.S. agriculture.
It also proposed to guarantee economic security for Americans who are 'unwilling to work.'
Ocasio-Cortez has since scrubbed the fact sheet - written in the form of a frequently asked questions - from her website.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
