Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is right: the Earth is doomed.
his week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stirred up the Republican Party when she warned that if we don’t solve the climate crisis in 12 years, the Earth could be doomed. Peter Brannen, author of The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth’s Mass Extinctions, joins Nick Bilton to explain why Ocasio-Cortez is correct, and how the past 400 million years on Earth can explain how we might be heading toward an overheated world that we can’t cool down.
