The youngest woman ever elected to Congress again made headlines when she said Monday that she and other young Americans fear “the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y
I don’t believe this is a political story. Flat earth, sky is falling or that stupid statement, what’s the difference?
If the world is going to end in 12 years, it’s far too late for us to do anything about it. Instead, let’s party like it’s 1999! You know… preparing for all the Y-2K bugs that were going to destroy civilization.
Just barely old enough, I remember some sort of faux documentary with a washed up actor trying to scare the crud out of the audience. If you go back a few more years there was Soylent Green where they were predicting global warming & dead oceans. It seems to cycle from one to the other every so often.
Don’t forget what Soylent Green was made out of! Yummy stuff for sure. I was in college and saw it when it first came out. Kind of fit in with the mood of the country at that time.
People thought the earth was flat thousands of years ago. Ok fine. Since then in the recent past people learned how to fly in space and with out doubt noticed yes indeed the earth is mostly round. You can convince people to eat tide pods. Drive a car blindfolded. Consume a tablespoon of cinnamon and almost die and do other countless stupid things. Science in and of itself is not bad. Without it we would not be playing with electrons and making them do our bidding.
