By 2050, 150m people will be displaced by coastal flooding, St. Louis will have the climate of Dallas, and half the world will be in perpetual war over dwindling food and livable land.
This isn't the distant future; @AOC still won't be old enough to get social security benefits.

@AOC "In the 70s scientists all predicted global cooling!" No, they didn't.
"In the 80s scientists were sure sea levels would be a foot higher by 2000!" No, they said around 2050.
"They said we'd get worse hurricanes, and climate change contributing to wars!" Yeah, that's happening.

@AOC Hey, Twitter, I have an important question: did Obama buy a beach house?
I wish someone would just tell me if Obama bought a beach house.

@AOC Assume we gradually stabilize emissions, RCP 4.5. By 2050, most of America has 30 days a year at a heat index >100. In the Bible Belt, it's 50+ days. In the Corn Belt, it's so warm that even more water won't increase crop yields.
