As we told you yesterday, a climate change-alarmed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked during a live video while cooking in her kitchen, “is it still OK to have children?” Ocasio-Cortez has warned that the world has 12 years (not 11, not 13, but 12) to tackle climate change or else (or else what we have no idea).
A writer at the New Republic picked up that ball and ran with it this way:
If the looming 12-year deadline to confront climate change is missed, what purpose could life have in the face of an unavoidable, collective downfall? https://t.co/8kbWEf48b9

OMG. “What’s the point in going on!” Really?
You DO realize the Modest Proposal was satire, right?

We don’t think they know that.
I didn't really think the Left would go Jonestown Doomsday Cult on us, but here we are. https://t.co/g1CJ83F9eA

They don’t sound well at all.
This doesn't seem healthy. https://t.co/yXUPUsRlCX

Have to say…the progressive wackadoodle extreme swerve toward a full blown death cult came so gradually and subtly, I almost missed it. https://t.co/4LJqpiiGAk

I am 100% certain the 12 year number for averting Climate Armageddon was focus group tested
Just far enough out that there's time to do something, but soon enough that we must start now or we'll all die https://t.co/uY4AFcIGu4

So glad these Chicken Littles are putting a nice googleable number in all of their headlines for when we do the 2031 retrospective. https://t.co/yEkLIPACiJ

There is an unspeakable cruelty being inflicted upon an entire generation; robbing them of hope, taking advantage of their innocence, and preying on their fears. https://t.co/vs7o0RjPgd
