New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, self-dubbed "climate savior and defender of endless Twitter feeds," has issued a rallying cry to her ardent followers, charging them to "become the nightmare you can't scroll past.” Yes, dear readers, your social media is at risk. In a stunning virtual address on Zoom, a giant box of Ben & Jerry's ice cream by her side, AOC set out her new strategy in combating climate change: flooding your social media timelines with alarming images of melting ice caps, inconveniently placed wind turbines, and polar bears clinging for their lives on the last floating chunk of ice. Those adorable puppy and moth memes you've been using to escape the traumatic real world? Prepare to have them obliterated by the chilling reality of climate change. AOC’s call to action, clearly meant to inspire, read more like an invitation to disrupt your late-night scrolling regime. And while the intention behind her words is noble, it’s the methodology which opens her up to parody. Referring to digital doomscrolling, she stated, "If the first thing people see in the morning is our fraught future, they can't deny its existence." But can someone please inform AOC that our levels of existential dread are already off the charts, even without the glaring reality of climate change in our faces every morning? Undeterred by such subtleties, AOC laid out a series of step-by-step instructions for her climate-led crusaders. She called for more homemade protest placards, more marchers holding their vegan smoothies aloft in the name of sustainability, and yes, more of those viral TikTok dances, but with a green twist, of course. 'Climate-aware throwbacks to the Macarena,' anyone? Given the Green New Deal’s proclivity to veer between the outright alarming and the borderline absurd, many viewers were not sure whether to order immediate biohazard suits or contemplate a future filled with LED lightbulbs and tofu burgers. Not that we're complaining, those new Impossible Whoppers are quite delectable, but they don't exactly help us forget the impending Armageddon. Behind the hyperactive pixel pushers known as AOC's Green Army now present on every digital platform, there remains the sobering question. How effective will an all-out social media assault be in combating the colossal monster that is climate change? Alas, we can but only wait, watch, and continue to inadvertently learn the Macarena's choreography, green-style, while we enjoy one last glance at those adorable mischievous kittens before they're replaced by hefty carbon footprint charts. Indeed, it seems we are all destined to become the 'can't-scroll-past' nightmares AOC wants us to be, for who can resist the scrutinizing gaze of an ice-melting polar bear while sipping your morning joe? For better or worse, climate change is getting a marketing makeover. Brace yourself and adjust your privacy settings accordingly. Those wind turbines aren't going to share themselves.
