At a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event with Ta-Nahesi Coates, newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) issued a chilling warning about climate change.



"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 going to 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 told Coates. "This is the war — this is our World War II."
