Republicans have been making fun of some of the statements of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They need to zip it.
60% of Republicans in the current Congress deny global warming is due to human activity. That includes Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Sen. Jim Inhofe, author of a book entitled The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future. Trump, as we all know, also denies that global warming is even occurring. He still does not grasp the difference between weather and climate.
We also have Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana who said that our climate is “just a continuation of the warming up from the Little Ice Age.”
And we have Congressman Mo Brooks, who said that the rising sea levels are caused by the erosion of the white cliffs of Dover and the California coastline.
The Republican idiocies quoted above were from “She’s With Stupid” by Katha Pollitt in the latest issue of The Nation, pp. 10-11.
