what i got is that shes saying in 12 years the world as we know it will be a fond memory. thats not 'we will all be dead'.


its 'the seas no longer produce meaningful harvests, the insect link in the ecosystem chain is faulted, temperature fluctuations generate everything from vital species extinction to mass starvation'.

none of this is unrealistic and the reasonable worst case for all these things being tangible issues for the whole planet is 12 years. the source of this are people who spend their entire lives studying the science at bar.

so lumping her in with a guy who claimed with total earnestness that climate change was a 'chinese conspiracy' seems like basically druff level hyperbole.
