AOC says only a 'sea sponge' would believe her '12 years' doomsday remark, but most Dems bought it

The New York Democrat drew mockery from Republicans after she made the doomsday warning in a bid to convince people that radical action against climate change is needed.
“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'” Ocasio-Cortez said. A few months later she repeated the claim again.
Earlier this month, however, Ocasio-Cortez backtracked on the gloomy forecast and instead blamed the Republican Party for taking her humor and sarcasm literally.
"This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and 'fact check' it," she wrote.
A Rasmussen poll, conducted earlier this week, found 67 percent of Democrats believing that the U.S. has only 12 years to avert the “disastrous and irreparable damage to the country and the world” stemming from climate change. Out of all total likely voters, 48 percent of respondents believed the apocalyptic claim.

Sounds to me like it's Democrats and Liberals who are the ones that only have the …….. “social intelligence of a sea sponge” !
Democrats and Liberals Luv AOC, no matter how she see's them !
Sounds like AOC is just trying to walk back one of her more stupid remarks.
The "Sea Sponges" are roaming this country now, showing their "Intelligence" for all to see/sea.
That would be a fulltime job.
And just recently she had come up with yet more dumb ass comments. You have to search for it, because the MSM won't touch it.
Just found another utterance by this brainless twat.
I saw the "Cauliflower" comment of hers.
She puts "rocks" to shame !
Poor "Rocks" ! I'm going out an buy as many rocks as I can to build "MY WALL".....today ! That should make them "Happy".
There are far too many to count. She actually makes Biden and Maxine Waters sound smart!
By the way ... I've found that Duck Duck Go gives many more search results than you'll find on Google.
The woman is a walking vacuum and it is all between her ears...
If it's the Republican Party that misunderstood her words, why have so many on the Left solemnly repeated her claim? Beto O'Rourke is one of them.
The "Sea Sponge" Brigade !
And, if she knew actual science, she would know that the Earth was far warmer millions of years ago when dinosaurs existed than it is now. Also, the climate is a pendulum, with interglacial periods being one side of the pendulum and glacial periods being the other side. We are close to the midpoint of this interglacial and we are swinging towards another glacial period and as you near the midpoint of any pendulum, the acceleration is greatest.
It is basic physics, even before you get into the huge errors in the so-called climate science due to poor data collection and study practices. 90% accuracy introduces huge amounts of error and most of climate science is 90% or less, very little of it is 95% or better as you want it to be to reduce error to infinitesimal amounts.
As Iv'e said many times, she would be a gold mine of satire for SNL, but they simply refuse to poke fun at their fellow progressives.
