Prominent Meteorologist Levels Ocasio Cortez Over Hysterical Climate Change Claims

Another day, another instance of deranged leftist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez spewing absolute nonsense.

Now she’s claiming that flooding in DC is due to the “climate crisis.” You know – because all weather-related issues are, in her mind.

According to Daily Wire:

Ocasio-Cortez made her remarks in response to a local area reporter who was reporting on heavy rain and some flooding that was occurring around the D.C. area.

“Unprecedented flooding is quickly becoming a new normal. Despite that, Republicans are tripling down on fossil fuels w/no plan to transition off them, or make the critical infra investments we need to prep for the climate crisis,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Each day of inaction puts more of us in danger. Climate change intensifies flooding, wildfires, & extreme weather. It’s more than 1 day or 1 storm; it’s all of them. Places are flooding where they haven’t before; there are 90-degree days in Alaska in June. The GOP will mock & sow confusion until it’s their home swept away.”

It’s more than 1 day or 1 storm; it’s all of them. Places are flooding where they haven’t before; there are 90-degree days in Alaska in June. The GOP will mock & sow confusion until it’s their home swept away.

Oh wow! She’s right! The world really IS ending!

But wait… let’s hear from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about, shall we?

First a tornado and now a flash flood.

The Congresswoman does not miss an opportunity to turn a weather event she experiences into a political statement and blame Republicans.

She's right that cities need to invest in infrastructure but a slow-moving t-storm isn't "climate" https://t.co/X4zoNP0lXW

Where do you start the conversation with this premise?

AOC:
"It’s more than 1 day or 1 storm; it’s all of them. Places are flooding where they haven’t before; there are 90-degree days in Alaska in June. The GOP will mock & sow confusion until it’s their home swept away."

You should resist the emotional temptation to blame EVERY weather event on climate change.

Consult the National Academies "bubble chart" on our understanding & confidence of weather events + climate change:

Extreme rainfall is still low/medium confidence and medium understanding — pretty clear that in a warmer world, rainfall extremes will increase.

But, attributing an individual t-storm or slow-moving area of rain to climate change is (currently) beyond our capability.
