Just FTR, the last time temps were 5-6 degrees above the 20th century average, 95% of species on the planet went extinct. And that rise was slower than what we're experiencing now.

But it's cold out.

So the tax is really needed?

I guess that’s easier than giving up stuff.

So we got weeks? Maybe a month?

She is a less intelligent Sara Palin....

Now you’re just being silly

Maybe a decade. Maybe two. After that, the feedbacks will be kicking in full force and I doubt it will possible to prevent it. What I know is saying something like this:

"So we got weeks? Maybe a month?"

...is orders of magnitude dumber in every way than what AOC supposedly said.

Need to get these taxes going by next week.

We don’t need to give up anything but our money.

Why do I have a feeling this was taken massively out of context? Especially considering OP intentionally edited her quote to make it look worse. Not clicking that garbage fake news link though.

look up the tape. See if it was of context

I did, and (shocker) it was. She was talking about the anxiety of younger people looking at dire predictions for the irreversible consequences we are going to see in 12 years. Hence, she used the hyperbolic “Millenials are like... !” Classic right wing liars tactic. Trumpian.

These things are adversely impacted the environment. Tax them instead of getting rid of them. If it is so dire, then things just need to be outright banned.

Good point, I guess it will just cost more to do the same thing. Feel like we did something though.

maybe millenials feel that way because socialists and the MSM are unnecessarily scaring the hell out of them

Or the fact that interests who have a financial reason to lie about the science are buying off our politicians who do nothing to address it. And in our current president’s case, even make it worse.

The world ending in 12 years due to climate change makes Medicare for All an even bigger waste of money than originally thought.
