Yesterday, John Kerry waxed poetic about all of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s hard work in combating climate change:

ICYMI: @JohnKerry praises Rep @AOC efforts to combat #climatechange as opposed to #PresidentTrump who refuses to lead on this issue. “Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has in fact offered more leadership in one day or in one week than #PresidentTrump has in his lifetime on this.

Sec. John Kerry: “Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has in fact offered more leadership in one day or in one week than President Trump has in his lifetime on [climate]." Honored and humbled. Thank you, @JohnKerry. https://t.co/Z2jPDMbuR1 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 9, 2019

When you think about it, it’s totally fitting that he’d celebrate AOC’s efforts … because, as meteorologist Joe Bastardi points out, he’s just as embarrassingly inept when it comes to “the science on global climate change” as she is:

Well, technically, Kerry said the Arctic summer would be “ice-free” in five years, which would’ve murdered the Arctic in 2014. But here we are, five more years after that, and as far as we can tell, the Arctic is still icy. And John Kerry is still an idiot.
