As Twitchy reported, President Trump posted a tweet about global warming Thursday night that sent media gatekeepers scurrying to clarify the difference between weather and climate — a distinction they’re usually happy to ignore in their coverage whenever weather becomes news.
It wasn’t only journalists who rushed to explain; Sen. Elizabeth Warren stole a line from Hillary Clinton’s DNC acceptance speech, declaring that she “believes” in science.
I’m going to say something really crazy: I believe in science. Climate change is real and we have a moral obligation to protect this Earth for our children and grandchildren.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) December 29, 2017
She believes in science … you know, crazy stuff like DNA.

First things first: science doesn’t care if you believe in it or not.
Science isn't something people "believe in" like it's Santa Claus or a dubious heritage claim https://t.co/xaNKmkbJv6

Does Warren truly believe in science? Plenty of people decided to quiz her on a handful of topics.

OK. Quick, how many genders are there?

So those same children and grandchildren were living human beings while in utero, right? After all, you believe in science. https://t.co/z8V9qcS4QM

Science says that "our children and grandchildren" who "we have a moral obligation to protect" are no less our children and grandchildren whilst they are gestating in their mothers' wombs and not yet born. To steal a phrase from your friend Al Gore, that is an inconvenient truth. https://t.co/419VURLdYA

If you actually believed in science you’d think that life begins at conception but you don’t, therefore you don’t actually believe in science. https://t.co/ALPmaWuVNV

I'm going to say something really crazy: I believe in science. Life begins at conception, abortion kills a human being and we have a moral obligation to protect the lives of the unborn so that we have children and grandchildren to protect https://t.co/JKB1lGxB9N

If you believed in science, you’d be able to recognize that life begins at conception. If you had any morals, you wouldn’t fight for the abortion industry’s ability to murder children because of other people’s irresponsibility. https://t.co/J37kijt3GW

I believe in science. WHich is why i don’t believe climate change is real. We have a moral obligation to provide the best standard of living to the most people, and that requires fossil fuels (and fewer fake Indians) https://t.co/NyX0asWqEv

Of course climate change is real. It's called 'weather'. On the other hand, global warming is scam promoted by the left. It's as real as you being a Native American. Both fake. We're on to you. Go away. https://t.co/v7i9WCQkBn
