Even scientists are having some fun at the expense of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that we only have 12 years until the world ends.

FACT CHECK:
As The Associated Press reported last month: “There is no scientific consensus, much less unanimity, that the planet only has 12 years to fix the problem (of climate change). A report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, drawn from the work of hundreds of scientists, uses 2030 as a prominent benchmark because signatories to the Paris agreement have pledged emission cuts by then. But it’s not a last chance, hard deadline for action, as it has been interpreted in some quarters.â€
I might be a little late on this Fact Check but I felt we might as well put her crazy claim to rest once in for all. These scientists did go on to warn us about the dangers of Climate Change but it really makes you wonder why AOC feels the need to lie if the facts are on her side.
