‘Huh? Wut?’: Ocasio Cortez Mocked On Twitter For Blaming Philly Refinery Explosion On Climate Change

June 23, 2019 by Kristie McDonald

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Friday night that an explosion at a Philadelphia oil refinery was due to climate change, arguing that the incident underscores the urgency of her Green New Deal.


A vat of butane ignited and eventually exploded around 4:00 AM Friday at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining Complex, followed by a series of smaller explosions as the fire worked its way through a mass of pipes carrying fuel across the complex.

From Pennsylvania to New Jersey, there were reports of homes shaking after an explosion at an oil refinery complex in Philadelphia https://t.co/T0PIHAAaAg

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used that story to pivot so fast and awkwardly to one of her pet issues that it’s amazing nobody got whiplash from this tweet:

This was Philadelphia after an oil refinery exploded this morning.

So… what’s that about how climate change isn’t an existential crisis that will disproportionately impact working class people & burn its way up?

We need a solution on the scale of the crisis: #GreenNewDeal 🌎 https://t.co/5vNMrrUZBg

Well that’s… something:

Alexa, what’s a non sequitur?

Frankly, we’re not totally sure, but that question could be asked after most of AOC’s tweets.

AOC, exactly how does an oil refinery explosion qualify as evidence that CO2 has caused an “existential crisis”? #ClimateTwitter https://t.co/oTWAwdj1kn

Gas and oil are flammable and that’s because of Climate Change?
