AOC Champion of Science!

For those who don't know AOC recently released the new green deal to tackle climate change. But apparently she doesn't even know the difference between weather and climate.

There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger's admiration -- and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always attending strictly to business; always getting up new designs and trying them on the people to see how they will go. But it gets through more business in spring than in any other season.

In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours. It was I that made the fame and fortune of that man that had that marvelous collection of weather on exhibition at the Centennial, that so astounded the foreigners......

I could speak volumes about the inhuman perversity of the New England weather, but I will give but a single specimen. I like to hear rain on a tin roof. So I covered part of my roof with tin, with an eye to that luxury. Well, sir, do you think it ever rains on that tin? No, sir, skips it every time.

This is part of the speech, the author Mark Twain delivered at the New England Society's Seventy-First Annual Dinner, New York City, Dec. 22, 1876.

Mark Twain spoke about climate change, even before science was the collecting modern data that is now being used to infer climate change.

The modern theory of manmade climate change is analogous to an old song, that is recorded anew. The young people, who are not familiar with the old song, think that the old song is new, and an unique part of their generation.

Well, let's look at AOC's educational background:
Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007.[19] She came in second in the Microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans.[20] In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[21][22] In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session.

She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[12] In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[23][24] During college, she served as an intern in the office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, in his section on foreign affairs and immigration issues.[25] "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid—a 19-, 20-year-old kid—whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."

She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.-- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Wikipedia

I wonder how that compares to the average Trumpette's education, including the author of the OP? But this is typical with so many of them, namely to find an error, and then use that as a wedge to demean the entire person.

I find AOC should share some blame for climate change, because the temperature around me warms up anytime I see her image.

Newton she is not. How exactly is she a champion of science when she has nothing named after her and named nothing? Faraday, Curie, Einstein, Hawking, Darwin, Watson, Mendele, they are champions of science.
As for the environment, Teddy Roosevelt she is not. She doesn't even compare to Nixon yet.

She is 100% correct. Extreme weather events increase in intensity due to global warming. One of the major ways climate impacts the weather.

She knows science and you don't apparently

Unfortunately, not having any discernible 'global warming' in the last hundred years or so, we'll never know...
