This happened Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, during which Sierra Club president Aaron Mair, who holds bachelors degrees in History and Sociology and is most certainly no scientist, has testified about the necessity of the EPA and its push for climate change regulations no matter who including racial minorities and especially people who look a lot like Mair is harmed by the economic cost of those regulations.
Cruz, having endured this pontificating by the Sierra Club president, commences to ask some very basic questions of Mair specifically surrounding the query that if global warming is such an ongoing catastrophe how come satellite data dont show any warming of note?
Hilarity ensues, as it becomes clear that Aaron Mair, who runs an organization largely built around the idea that, as he says, the planet is cooking and warming and heating, has absolutely no idea what in the blooming hell he is talking about.
And at the end, Delaware Democrat Chris Coons attempts to rehabilitate Mair by saying that since the subject of the hearing is the effect overregulation has on minorities its not that important for him to have offered his knowledge on global warming. Cruz response to Coons is almost as devastating as his demolition of Mair.
It would not be a surprise for Mairs career at the Sierra Club to end quietly after what Cruz did to him in this hearing.

That survey was done at a Global Warming convention and has no validity to reality, yet quoted over and over.
Pray America is waking
Thank you, Lord, for Ted Cruz and thank you, Vet, for posting this. I doubt if anyone on FR hates the Sierra Club as much as I do. This post has made my entire week.
This is a stupid buffoon who is representing an environmental group.
unbelievably incompetent.
Cruz skewered him like a piece of cooked chicken.

Give the same scientists grants to prove global warming is a hoax, and the same 97% would concur it is a hoax. Follow the money, this one is a no brainier.
“Mair”firmative action hire..
I am still waiting for someone like Cruz to publically destroy the 97% myth. I can read it in blogs but I want it out in public - very public and very often.
