I don't like how ignorant the author is to the history of US climate politics. The fundamental issue in my opinion is that people (politicians) have made ridiculous, unsubstantiated claims for the last few decades that if they're not personally elected, the world will burn and climate change/global warming will be irreversible. What happens when Al Gore isn't elected and nothing happens? People stop trusting climate change is an issue at all. Instead of looking into this obvious issue (which would probably require some self reflection on the authors part), she tries to show climate change is real with specific weather events (which is a fallacy all its own, like conservatives saying global warming isn't real because we had a cold snap). Some examples of hers would probably qualify as basically wrong too; like while climate change may have played a role in the CA forest fires, poor forest management certainly plaid a much bigger role as we know for a fact. Weather =/= climate, and trying to claim that it does now that we've changed names from global warming to climate change isn't the solution
