AOC Says Climate Crisis Causes Her Anxiety About Having Children

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "I mean, this is our future. Because I think for us the stakes are so high. I'm going to live in a world that is fundamentally altered by climate change. So is Greta, so is every young person. You know, if you are pretty much under the — first of all, we're seeing it now. Like, we're living through this right now. We're experiencing it right now.

And you know, even people my age are stressed and have anxiety about having kids just because we want to make sure that we're bringing our kids into a healthy world, into a stable future. And you shouldn't ever have to be anxious about that. We need to be advocating for a safe future for all of us."
