So she was basically just missing the context? I'm in Australia so I don't particularity take too much notice of what people say over there. Her comment really stuck out though.

We don't really know how quickly it happened in the past though, do we? I'd like to read more into it actually.

No, whoever quoted her is missing the context.  Exactly as Criss stated.  AOC was quoting what the UN report had said.  That if we do not act now to slow down the rate of increase, in 12 years we will not have the opportunity to stop the increase.  She, not the UN, said the world will end in 12 years.  That's some Fox News spin.

That's my point though. You don't find that stating the world will end in 12 years as a little... sensationalist?

I just find that to be rather distracting from the discussions that needed to be had.
