" AOC says the world is going to end in 12 years "

I wish people would stop saying that. Unless the sun blows up or we get hit by a really big space rock, the planet will still be here..

“Twelve years until we all die” is catchier than “under some reasonable but debatable assumptions about economic growth, policy choices, and the physical climate sensitivity, the carbon budget to stay below the arbitrary threshold of a 1.5 degree C temperature increase relative to pre-industrial conditions appears to be exceeded by 2030”.
