First it was socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! She says we have 12 years left to save the Earth! That would be 11 now I guess as she said that last year.
Last night however, time got shorter as Presidential Candidate Robert O'Rourke (he likes you to call him Beto so you might think he's Hispanic) says it's down to just a Decade!
He was very specific! Civilization has only “ten years left on Earth" if no action is taken on global warming!
He said it was important to work with the coal, gas and oil industry to achieve ZERO carbon emissions by 2050 (don't we need carbon to make stuff grow? You now, plants and trees suck it in and breathe out oxygen, right? Asking for the population of the World...).
"I want to make sure those who work in the oil and gas industry, those who work in the fossil fuel industry are brought along as partners to make sure that we make this transition in the ten years we have left to us as the science and scientists tell us to make the kind of bold change that we need," he said to MSNBC host Chris Hayes.
So is he right? Just ten years?
How long do you think we have left?
