Alexandria Occasional Cortex Blames Philadelphia Refinery Explosion on Climate Change
- Thursday, March 19, 2026
The snake oil sale script is now devoid of any kind of fact. Yet people still believe the pitch. If they truly think we think the Earth is flat, I would call that the epitome of the coal calling the kettle black.
You thought wrong.

These comments using the name “Alastair Brickell” are not from me in New Zealand.
That is my name but I don’t know who is using it incorrectly. I have made no posts on this topic and I see there is another one upthread which is also not mine.
Please investigate…I really doubt you have two commenters with this identical name.
[Noted. All were from 219.97.225.144 address. .mod]
The imposter has a different IP adress.
The IP adress beginning with 219 is the imposter.

Moderators, thanks for sorting this out.
The imposter has three comments upthread at June 22, 1:50pm, 2:17pm and 2:19pm. These are NOT mine…is it possible to have them deleted or renamed?
Technically, I’m not a moderator; but I put his comments since he was exposed into moderation. I’m sure they’ll moderate “with extreme prejudice” after they review them… 😎
Is she related to Mr Ed?
Mr Ed’s teeth weren’t that big.
He didn’t need a puppet to move his mouth either.
AOC is dumber than a [pruned] chunks taken out.
Next up from her green thinking:
Switch all agriculture to irrigate with Green Gatorade. It has electrolytes! Why use water, like from the toilet? And it worked in the movie! I think…..
Garry, June 22 has it right. The tiny .8 C from 1880 is just a part of
the slow coming out of the peak of the Little Ice Age.
We should be looking at what was the highest temperature during the MWP,
do we have any proxies for that period. But if not we must have ample
written records such as when ice is seen, and harvests were brought in.
As the Church “Taxed” the peasants some 10 %, the tithe, there must be
a record of the wealth or lack of it collected by the Churches.
The same goes for the other warm periods in our past history, the [Minoan]
and the long Roman period. They both had written records.
So why are we supposed to all panic at a tiny .8C increase from 1880.

By her own words, AOC is only joking and anyone who believes her is an idiot.
Anyone who believes that she’s joking needs to rethink that belief system.
A qualified bar attendant has warned that everyone is going to die in 12 years unless global climate taxes are forcibly implemented.
Surely we should all be afraid…very afraid.
She later came out and said the she was only joking and that anyone who believed her is an idiot. We can only assume that such is the case with every thing that she says.
I recall that and I tried to find a link to that so I could re-post, but could not. Do you have a link (As always alarmists want links)?

More Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted Max Kennerly
This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it.
“Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal.
But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez added”
It’s her feed you would have to trawl thru it … but dailynews has a copy

Exact quote is
Imposter Brickell,
(with IP starting 219), speaking of “lost the argument”, Peter Gleick would be proud of you.
So if a solar panel or wind turbine factory blows up, what does she blame that on?
Poor targeting by CO2. There is nothing it can’t do.
If a solar-panel or wind-turbine factory blew up, then she would blame the fossil-fuel backup systems that kicked in during down time to keep the wheels of idealized civilization going, claiming that the energy-density technology of real-world, developed civilization as we know it is evil at its core and should never have been linked to the wind and solar factories to begin with — that civilization as we know it should falter and just deal with the shortages, until the clouds cleared and the wind started blowing again.
In short, she would merely say even dumber things, even farther removed from reality, all the while in the comfort of her fossil-fuel-enabled lifestyle that gives her the means to talk and be heard at all.
What’s the message for Philadelphia Firefighters –
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blames oil refinery explosion on climate change, an existential crisis that will disproportionately impact working class people & burn its way up nationalistic / unilateral Philadelphia energy Solutions Refining Complex.
UN must counter hood’s, favorite vegan, timeline max. 12 years.
Trust Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
The latest from AOC, prospective Mensa member extraordinaire:

Nothing new….: there is a history to this:
https://billypenn.com/2019/06/21/south-philly-refinerys-long-history-of-fires-explosions-deaths-and-injuries/
I was in South Philly when one of these happened in the 80s.
It’s a disaster !!!!!!
“The city’s Department of Public Health Air Management Services Lab “is testing samples taken from up- and downwind of the refinery fire,” according to James Garrow, spokesman for the department.
The department will continue working with Philadelphia Energy Solutions to monitor air quality, Garrow said, before adding that he was “not aware of any immediate danger from the fire.”
“Preliminary testing both at the site of the refinery and in the adjacent community has shown no ambient carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons (combustibles), or hydrogen sulfide,” said Garrow. Additional test results are expected late Friday.”
Think an oil refinery explosion is bad? Try a hexane explosion. Oderless, colorless, heavier than air. Hexane is used in processing soybeans among other things and about 20 years ago a Central Soya plant where I did a lot of work at in Indianapolis had a leak that went undetected. An automobile with a defective ignition passing by outside the plant it what they claimed initiated the explosion. Lots of houses around that plant were blown off their foundations. The plant never reopened.
AOC keeps stepping in it. Then tries to scrape it off her overpriced designer shoes.
I hope someone is collecting her witless twaddle into a single volume to be released right around election time. Bartending is too high end a job for her. Anyone besides me wonder if she thought tips were “free money” and she “forgot” to report them as income?
I would bet (heavily) on it.
Did I hear her and the fan club cheering with the demise of this fossil fuel capacity? Simply a bigger vacuum for all the windmills and solar panels to fill and bring down energy prices overall there madam?
Two words for New Yorkers; recall election. It’s the only way New York voters can regain some dignity after voting for this complete idiot.
She may be right.
Climate change induce green policies, which induce erratic management policies, which at the end may pretty well induce plant explosions by sucking out all the money needed for security measures.
make sense to me in a way.
“If I took yer brains, an put it in a gnat’s ass, it’d look like a BB inna boxcar.”
Think about it. A lot of refineries did not blow up, is that because of climate change.
A lot of places had no storms/hurricanes, is that because of climate change.
“Alexandria Occasional Cortex Blames Philadelphia Refinery Explosion on Climate Change”
Makes sense for the high priestess of the Climate Change religion to so declare.
A single explanation for everything.:
God/Climate change did it.
