Al Gore gave us 10 years,
AOC gave us 12 years
Now we have 30 years.
We seem to be improving all the time. Congratulations to humanity!

I think we are at <11.7 years on some sort of dry humor path.

AOC has pretty much made Blazing Saddles of that old story.

How silly. IF, and I do mean IF, it gets that bad, lots of folks will start to die off in mass number. Fewer people, less pollution. Fewer cities, fewer factories, and the problems will get less and the Earth recover. Famines, wars, and plagues will reduced the population from 7 Billion to one or 2 Billion. Fewer people will mean less ecological problems.

Keep moving the goal posts until the next ice age comes.

Well that settles it. To save humanity, they’ll have to change the thermostat setting on the sun! We’ll put them on a ship and send them at night to change it.

It's a painstakingly researched look at the catastrophic consequences global warming is already having on the planet - and the even worse ones that are coming unless drastic action is taken over the next three decades. When I see words like these used in a report, I immediately raise my BS Alarm, since it always means the writer has an agenda and can't write an objective piece on the subject.

These people are like cultists, which wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t have so many powerful allies. This is insanity on a grand scale.

"Projections estimate that if we don't change course on global warming, we could have a global GDP that's 30 percent smaller than it would be without climate change. That's an impact that's twice as big as the Great Depression, and it would be permanent.Heck, we can do that just by electing Democrats and implementing socialism.
