Admittedly, AOC is not a climate scientist. And I've seen her make misstatements on this topic. The Green New Deal rollout was a mess, and we do not need to ban cows and airplanes to fight climate change.
But: the vast majority, perhaps 100%, of our representatives are also not climate scientists. And I think AOC's misstatements on climate pale in comparison to the outright distortions I've seen on the other sign.
At a certain point, all of us whether we're in politics or not have to use the information we're given and make a judgment call about these issues. As for myself, I've made an effort to understand the science and I feel it's my duty now to share what I've found with my fellow average citizens.
Thank you for your feedback and Merry Christmas.
