"Fossil fuels are natural and amazing," says Rep. Marjorie Traitor Greene in a rant on Twitter

On Saturday morning, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched into a creative explanation for how climate works, providing a graph on fossil fuels in an effort to prove her points.

"If you believe that today's 'climate change' is caused by too much carbon, you have been fooled," Greene wrote on Twitter. "We live on a spinning planet that rotates around a much bigger sun along with other planets and heavenly bodies rotating around the sun that all create gravitational pull on one another while our galaxy rotates and travels through the universe. Considering all of that, yes our climate will change, and it's totally normal!"

Going on to champion carbon, Greene stomped down with the emphatic statement, "Don't fall for the scam, fossil fuels are natural and amazing. They produce an abundance of energy that we all need to survive along with more products than you can possibly imagine."




Responses to Greene's statements were a mish-mash of various ways to pose the question, "What are you talking about?"

That’s probably next out of the festering bunghole that is Princess Sporkfoot’s mouth.

climate change.

Humanity has more options to mitigate climate change but loss of life forms is loss of life and irretrievable loss of life even from the most human egocentric POV.

Humanity has systematically developed civilization (built cities) on the most biologically rich soils and literally mined soils (not to forget waters). Most solutions look to me to be digging a deeper whole when the root problem of humanity is over population. Our choice is how ugly and bad for humanity as human population retracts.

There is much seriously wrong with a USA where MTG is part of any serious issue.

Surely this can be explained to the Congresswoman in a way she can understand.
