Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s pitch for the Green New Deal included a warning that the world has 12 years to act or else. Since then there’s been a race to see who can make that deadline even more imminent. Here’s the BBC’s contribution:
12 years to save the planet from climate change? A growing number of scientists say we actually have just 18 months.

A similar hot take from ThinkProgress recently gave the country 14 months to act, which means it’s official:

Not in the least.
Dear BBC:
1. What % of scientists say that we have 18 months to save ourselves from the completely fake climate crisis?
2. For the 10,000 time: Photos of cracked mud do *not* convince me that CO2 is the climate control knob. Got anything else?#climatebrawl https://t.co/gbuT4wgK3x

Why do you publish this garbage?
97% of all climate scientists agree that we have a lot longer than 18 months.— Climate News (@ClimateNewsCA) July 29, 2019
Bull ?

It’s turning into a “predict the end of the world” auction:
C'mon 18 months!!! Can I get 3 months? anyone? 3 months? 18 days? https://t.co/ZVy6qCk561

That’s exactly how ridiculous it’s gotten.
