It seems that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) may have released methane into the atmosphere, and the environmental impact of this incident is currently unknown. Now, AOC is known for her strong positions on the environment, but it seems she may have betrayed her own beliefs by contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This is quite a hilarious turn of events considering her previous concerns about “farting cows” and their supposed impact on climate change.
In a video that has been making the rounds on social media, AOC can be seen in what appears to be a moment of methane release. Of course, it’s possible that someone else in the room was responsible, but it’s still a bit concerning that she didn’t seem too bothered by it. Perhaps she thinks her own emissions are exempt from environmental scrutiny?
This incident brings to mind the Great Eric Swalwell Controversy, when the Democratic representative from California was caught seemingly releasing gas on live TV. Just like AOC, Swalwell played the blame game and denied any involvement. But when it comes to greenhouse gases and their impact on climate change, one can’t help but wonder how much these two politicians are contributing to the problem.
It’s worth noting that most gas passed during flatulence is actually odorless and contains gases like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. However, a small portion may include hydrogen sulfide, giving it that lovely rotten eggs smell. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency has yet to comment on this matter.
As expected, social media users have been quick to share their thoughts on this gassy situation. Some are comparing AOC to Eric Fartwell, while others are joking about the amount of hot air coming out of Washington, D.C. Let’s just hope their words don’t contribute to even more greenhouse gases!
All joking aside, this incident shows that even politicians who claim to be environmental champions can sometimes be caught in compromising situations. AOC may want to reconsider her stance on farting cows and take a closer look at her own contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a gas, gas, gas!
