Ted Cruz expresses 'full out denial' of global warming during forum
The Manchester Guardian ^ | August 2, 2015 | Ben Jacobs, Washington

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has stated that he doesn’t believe in the science behind global warming. In a forum hosted by Freedom Partners on Sunday evening, a key cog in the political network of the Koch Brothers, the Texas senator stated that “the data and facts don’t support” that global warming is occurring.

The moderator of the forum described Cruz’s stance as “full out denial”. The Texas senator did not disagree with that characterisation. Cruz has previously compared those who believe in global warming to “flat-Earthers.”

Cruz also criticised the new regulations, set to be unveiled by the Obama administration on Monday, to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. To the Republican presidential candidate, these new rules were a sign that the Democratic party had abandoned union members for “California environmentalist billionaires and their campaign donations”, in a clear reference to hedge fund mogul and environmentalist Tom Steyer.

Liking Cruz more and more. It appears that he, unlike Dorkbamacretin, got passing grades in science.

Oh, Dorkbamacretin has no passing grades in anything except bulls*t. The rest were quota grades given to our limp-wristed little quota boy.

And I DO mean boy!

The science says Antarctica waters have set a record for ice extant. The political science says global warming caused that by melting land ice, flowing runoff to top of the sea and refreezing it on the non frozen water.

The leftists and the Wall St. Scammers who are and have erected money making schemes from the outrageous man made warming.....and climate change idiocy.
Perhaps Senator Cruz , despite his wife being ex Goldman VP, is not in Wall Streets pocket.

If it’s Science, why do I have to BELIEVE in it?

You can’t deny something that hasn’t happened yet. If someone uses the word “denier” on me I tell them they are deliberately comparing me to a neo-Nazi holocaust denier, (the only other time that word is ever used). Either they quit and apologize, or I’ll never talk to them again.

Oh no...the Climate Change Cult will be gathering sticks at his appearances to burn this heretic at the stake! If there ever was an example of unscientific hysteria, the believers in Obama and Big Government as Savior are Exhibit A.
