Will the world end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said?

Notice, the fellow leftists come to her aid. They assure us, we shouldn't take what the bag of rocks for brains says literally. She is virtue signalling for her fellow wacko leftists to know she belongs to their Marxist cult. That was, is, and will continue to be their real concern about GW. It is all about power, money, and destroying capitalism. Of course, most alarmists that post on here are just useful idiots that really do believe.

no

The world will end in a lot less than twelve years if morons like Cortez keep getting elected.

If Ocasio-Cortez lasts more than 2 years in Congress, I will believe the world is ending in 12.

Another "shill" in the alarmist scheme and it shows they are really grasping at straws to maintain the "hoax".

Global Cooling is happening and the Sun cycle called a solar grand minimum is the natural variance. Nature is still at work.

By her standards perhaps, by rational logical person's no. And nobody is going to "address" climate change in the ways she proposes.

No I don't believe the world will end but I feel like Cortez felt it necessary to say so. Many people aren't taking our climate crisis as real as it is. In 50 years, billions of people will be displaced because of the climate change.

As Sting and Anonymous have mentioned, that is not exactly what she said--she was paraphrasing generational reactions to the current government neglecting to address climate change. She said:

"Millennials and Gen Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' "

It was a bit hyperbolic, but it probably accurately reflects the younger generations' feelings. The point was to emphasize the dire consequences of ignoring AGW, but the older generations just ignore what's going to happen and say "How are you going to pay to fix it?"

Of course we CAN pay to fix it, but the first thing that has to happen is for people like Donald Trump or Rush Limbaugh or JimZ or Sagebrush or graphicconception to agree that there is a problem that needs fixing. They worry about some sort of world government or socialism, or loss of freedom, etc., but if that ever happens then their intransigence will have been the direct cause. If we could get the conservatives on board then we could work on free market solutions.

Ha! Ha! Move over Al Gore. There is a bigger airhead than you!

Here is a gal that ran for congress and won. Then when she won she couldn't figure out how to pay her rent in Washington. She cried and cried then some liberal chef invited her to live with him. Just like a Liberal, they are always the victim even when they win.

Now here is a gal who answers the question 'How do we pay for this single payer health plan that you are proposing?' Her answer, "You just pay it!" She said that about healthcare, but when it came to her rent she cried out in agony. Just like a Lib. They are good at spending someone else's money but not when it comes to theirs.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

This is what the Libs hang their hat on. A cheap liberal (I repeat myself) who wouldn't even share her tip jar with her fellow workers. And she even served PLASTIC stirs with her drinks. Yet the Libs love her.

Notice that Sting is already saying that she didn't say that. Haven't we heard this same old tired song about Gore?
