In her reply, the teenager, identified as Astha Sarmah, commented: “I am 54 years younger than you. I just finished high school with average marks. But even I can tell you that WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE. If you want help understanding that, I can lend you my encyclopedia from when I was in 2nd grade. It has pictures and everything.”

Good job. All the teenagers in the world should take up cudgels against those who deny science and how climate change is affecting everyone.
