The absolute magnitude of the change is much less important than the rate of change. Species and ecosystems can adapt over 10,000 year time scales. They can't adapt in a couple of decades.

All of this was quite funny to read, but I'd love to see the source on this specific part:

"AOC has said we have about 10 years until humanity is extinct."

From that article, and from the mouth of AOC:

"This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally"

"Like the "world ending in 12 years thing", you'd have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it's literal"

So you're either purposefully misrepresenting the quote, or you're a sea sponge.

You're getting downvotes because your comment is propaganda and doesn't contribute to discussion. For example:

> all the solutions to climate change are marxist

> adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security

When did those things become marxist? Those are the basics that any modern society should make available for people -- and nearly all do, except for the USA.

> They dont want nuclear or solar panels

Who is 'they'? I certainly want nuclear and solar panels and electric transportation, if it means my kids can grow up in a sustainable and stable world.

I described your comment, not you. If you take it as a comment on your character, you might ask yourself why.

> What exactly did I say?

You said:

> Climate change is just a political tool to push an agenda which is not popular on its own.

> They dont want nuclear or solar panels on every house

> AOC has said we have about 10 years until humanity is extinct.

Where are the sources for those? Are they facts? Or do they read like propagandist misinformation?

You also edited your comment to take out the "marxist" jibe - why?
