AOC never said the Earth will end in 12 years. I defy you to provide such a quote.
How about you provide her quote. I understood her just fine. (I won't say the first few thoughts that immediately came into my head when you are defending AOC's intelligence - big credibility drop there).
The climate has, does and will continue to change. America has, does and will continue to work on emissions. It is why our water is cleaner than it has been in over 100 years. And we should continue to improve.
I wish the "scientists" never cooked the books and changed the numbers back in the early 2000's, that lost a lot of credibility with a lot of people. You can deny that all you want, but the reality is that if you make up or change a bunch of your data, people will question the rest of your data. Another example, if you make up some wild hockey stick graph and refuse to release your study, and refuse peer review, a lot of people are going to question your "science".
This can not be solved by America writing a check. As soon as the "scientists" start to push solutions (things that solve the problem) instead of carbon taxes (which add to the problem) a lot of people will start to listen. Also try to get some people that are not so unhinged, dishonest or just plain stupid (AOC) to talk about it. It also seems like the biggest hypocrites (bernie, dicaprio, moore etc.) are the loudest supporters, that doesn't help either.
I would strongly suggest watching the Youtube Video by Roy Beck "Immigration Gumballs"
