The first link was to a German plan of which I had no interest so I skipped it and moved on to the next link about AOC's statement.

well perhaps maybe some day she will listen to actual scientists and not make up meme worthy quotes,
but not today
a girl says not today

I compare her climate change ideas to a three year old giving medical advice.
She does more harm than good by spouting off about something she obviously doesnt understand.

Correct, just as I pointed out in my post.
''Here, she made a quick soundbite comment that has been picked up by media (you know, media''?) and turned into a quick little easily digested meme, you know like the daily complaints against media for taking Trump's words out of context? ''
My point was that she made a soundbyte comment and the media took it and sensationalized it. Rather than calling her names and calling her crazy for listening to the dire warnings coming form the international climate scientists that are quoted in those articles we should be thanking her for helping keep this problem front and center in our consciousness.

I read these ''it's all a puff of smoke'' threads for information to allay my concerns over climate change. I look for substantial science that is claimed to refute the predominate science that says man made climate change is real.
This thread fails miserably.
OP offers a number of links supporting the ''liar lair'' stance taken so I gave them a glance, read them actually.
The first link was to a German plan of which I had no interest so I skipped it and moved on to the next link about AOC's statement. Opps it was in the Washington Post. Ain't that still fake news around here? Anyway, moving on, that article points out the inaccuracy of her statement but does not refute it. Then the article goes on to support that general position that warming is man induced and that a time frame for correcting our poor stewardship of our planet is running out.
Indeed the whole gist of that article was to point out how a simplistic statement like that is used by ''deniers'' to poke holes in the whole subject. Following that link to other links that really quote her statement I found
""Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?" "This is the war — this is our World War II."
Here, she made a quick soundbite comment that has been picked up by media (you know, media''?) and turned into a quick little easily digested meme, you know like the daily complaints against media for taking Trump's words out of context?
Anyway my search for more ''refuting climate change'' moved to the next link from Axios. That one as well did not refute that man made climate change is real but rather and only attempted to refine the notion of how we should be dealing with it and offer a more mature timeline of our actions to have a positive effect for us, our children and our children's children.
