Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), was absolutely destroyed online after she Tweeted this gem:
A climate emergency indeed!
I am so glad Ilhan brought this "fact" to our attention. Who would have known that the Earth broke a record for the hottest day in 120,000 years?
No one. And that's probably because she is full of it.
"Is this satire?" Republican Utah Senate candidate Trent Staggs, the current mayor of Riverton, Utah, responded.
Nope. Ilhan was dead serious when she wrote this Tweet, and I bet she actually believed her nonsense!
"What was the temperature of the globe at 12pm GMT on July 1st, 116,539 BC?" former White House adviser Stephen Miller added.
Great question. ๐
Now check out some of other great replies. Let the roasting begin!
Our very own Dan Dillon even chimed in:
According to Fox News:
Earlier this month, local Florida outlet WFLA-TV reported that "Earth broke a record for its hottest day in 120,000 years" on concurrent days, citing the Climate Reanalyzer dashboard maintained by the University of Maine's Climate Change Institute. The tool compiles weather data stretching back to 1979 and comes with a stark warning that the data "should NOT be taken as 'official' observational records."
In addition, the WFLA-TV report states weather record-keeping began in the 1800s and data from before that period is based on "sophisticated methods of examining copious climate clues in proxy data like tree rings, ice cores, ocean sediments, etc."
It's very obvious what she is doing here. Declaring a "national emergency" is just another tactic and excuse to push crazy leftist crap.
As conservative commentator Greg Prince calmly explained, neanderthals were roaming the Earth 120,000 years ago, and it's doubtful they were measuring weather patterns.
Not to mention the first thermometer was only invented in 1593 by Galileo, and then the first modern thermometer in 1714 by Gabriel Fahrenheit.
To quote Greg Prince, "She's making [stuff] up."
