The world is going to end in 12 years unless the government takes action, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday at a Martin Luther King forum in New York City.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an excerpt from her interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we\u2019re like, the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don\u2019t address climate change. You\u2019re biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it? \u2014 and like this is the war, this is our World War II. And I think for younger people looking at this are more like, how are we saying let\u2019s take it easy when 3,000 Americans died last year, how are we saying let\u2019s take it easy when the end person died from our cruel and unjust criminal justice system?<\/p>\n

How are we saying take it easy, the America that we\u2019re living in today is dystopian with people sleeping in their cars so they can work a second job without healthcare and we\u2019re told to settle down. It\u2019s a fundamental separation between that fierce urgency of now, the why we can\u2019t wait that King spoke of. That at some point this chronic reality do reach a breaking point and I think for our generation it reached that, I wished I didn\u2019t have to be doing every post, but sometimes I just feel like people aren\u2019t being held accountable. Until, we start pitching in and holding people accountable, I\u2019m just gonna let them have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0<\/strong>Rep. Ocasio-Cortez responded to Grabien\u2019s post. She\u00a0writes<\/a>, \u201cFor some reason GOP seems to think this is a gaffe, but it\u2019s actually a generational difference. Young people understand that climate change is an existential threat: 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane Mar\u00eda. The UN says we\u2019ve got\u00a012 years left to fix it<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
