The Big Book of Reasons Americans Need to Take Climate Change More Seriously just got a little thicker, thanks to Pete Buttigieg’s communications adviser:
If you’ve ever wondered what golf ball-sized hail sounds like when it hits a hot tin roof in El Paso, asked and answered.
Time for a climate President like @PeteButtigieg! pic.twitter.com/NzgPequdaj

Perhaps Mayor Pete can bring that up during the marathon seven-hour climate change town hall on CNN that many 2020 Democrats will fly to New York City to take part in next Wednesday.
Lol. Hail hasn’t happened before!

If they can't tell the difference between "golf ball-size" hail and marble-sized hail, should they really be bragging about their climate bona fides? https://t.co/y5Ajq0GWI8

If Buttigieg’s elected president, “Hail to the Chief” will take on a whole new meaning. But Smith wasn’t having any of the blowback:
I’m not @JohnCornyn, don’t “ackshually” me about the difference between climate and weather. I paid attention in my science classes…

Democrats often like to point out that weather does not equal climate, but there are exceptions for when they say it does.
