Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks that tornadoes in Washington D.C. are somehow proof of Global Warming.
From the Blaze:
The freshman lawmaker went on to share a PBS story that examined a study trying to determine whether climate change worsens the effects of tornadoes. She quoted the piece, writing, "Rather than lie squarely in the Great Plains, America's tornadoes appear to be sliding into the Midwest and Southeast."
Ocasio-Cortez told her followers, "Tornadoes are challenging to link to climate change links due to their nature (geographically, limited, acute patterns, how they form, etc.), but we DO know that tornadoes HAVE been changing. They are no longer limited to the Great Plains, and are shifting to other regions of the country."
"The climate crisis is real, y'all," she added. "Guess we're at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country."
AOC is from New York and does not use the phrase "y'all. What a pretentious liar.
She was quickly taken to task by meteorologist Ryan Maue :
He also added, "I thought this was fake but it's from @AOC Instagram story. No idea what she means with 'casual tornadoes' and how this line of severe thunderstorms is proof of any 'climate crisis.' It's just the weather in D.C."
The word fool comes to mind, but that would insult fools everywhere. This woman is shallow as a puddle. She reads mainstream media for all her information, because she's too lazy to dig any deeper. The fact is there have been tornadoes in the south all along. If she'd bother to do her own research rather than rely on biased media reporting she would know that. She would, for instance know of the March 21–22, 1932
tornado outbreak in the deep South which killed more than 330 people. This was not in Oklahoma or Nebraska or Kansas; it was in Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina, etc. and caused massive devastation. In fact here is a list of major tornadoes in the U.S. in wikipedia - certainly she knows how to use that? You will notice that a great many tornadoes were in New England, in Minnesota, and in the Deep South.
One thing you can say for AOC, she sure isn't afraid to expose herself for a fool.

Reminds me of the title of a wonderful old Jayne Mansfield movie, "The Girl Can't Help It." The movie made a heckuva lot more sense than AOC -- of course. Screenwriters of those days knew how far they could push reality.
