AOC dragged for claiming gas stoves are linked to brain damage
By Isabel Keane

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to defend President Biden’s proposed ban on gas stoves in a viral Twitter spat Tuesday — only to be heckled herself by snarky social media users.

“Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance,” the Bronx and Queens lawmaker tweeted in response to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) vowing to “NEVER” give up his gas stove.

But the congresswoman’s attempted clap-back backfired, as detractors — mainly politicians and conservative activists — were quick to pile on.

“Is this an attack on @GordonRamsey,” joked Max Avery, a former Arkansas state legislature candidate.

She uses a gas stove - but couldn't figure out how to use her garbage disposer. There may be something to her allegation about brain damage.  :silly:

NO2?

CH4 + 2O2=>CO2 +2H2O

Where did the Nitrogen come from?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Presumably from the air in which the flame was burning.

Here is a study that claims to have measured the amount of unburned CH4 and NOx emissions from various gas ranges/ovens:  https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.1c04707
