“Many of the alarmists on global warming, they’ve got a problem because the science doesn’t back them up. In particular, satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years, there’s been zero warming.” –Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex,), “Late Night with Seth Meyers” interview, March 17, 2015
“The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that – that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.” –Cruz, CNN interview released Feb. 20, 2014
Cruz has been taking some heat — pun intended — lately over his global warming comments. While the recent focus has been on his interview on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Cruz made similar comments in the past, as shown in the CNN interview in February 2014.

But the fact is Ted Cruz is telling the truth. On this and several other subjects. To the MSM this is unforgivable and must be punished.
Any “Fact Check” resource any paper today uses is inherently biased. They are all run by liberals.
Wait a minute, wasn’t it like 93 degrees last August? See, globull warming!
Uh, Cruz didn't say there has been no Global Warming in 22 years. This is so typical of Liberal analysis. They bitch and moan that Cruz is being selective in his data and then they are selective in their data.
It’s like having Harry Reid as your fact checker.
If you evaluate average temperature over the last 17 years using the RAW data there has been no warming.
Warming is only ‘seen’ when these raw values are ‘massaged’ (read: changed) before they are entered into the models. The data is changed for a variety of reasons, such as attempts to account for urban heat sinks, but all of the changes are complete estimations (read: guesses). Only the models, which are incomplete because they do not account for all possible variable, using manipulated data, show any warming.
Ted Cruz is correct.
The American people (even those who vote in lockstep with the democrats) don’t give a darn about global warming. This line of attack can only help Ted Cruz. Especially in the Northeast where they are still buried in snow from the coldest winter in perhaps the last 100 years.
Of course, now that it is called Climate Change, even a global drop in temperatures is now allegedly caused by the same thing they claimed would cause a global rise in temperatures. As long as the weather changes they will blame it on CO2.
Did automobiles and coal fired power plants first appear in 1993?
When the fact check is run by someone who has no respect for truth, it is meaningless. And liberals have NO respect for the truth.
No matter how one measures it if one wants to say there is a trend concerning weather the measurement has to be over a period of centuries...not decades!!!
But it's “settled science,” doncha know.
The article claims that Cruz was wrong....but then proceeds to show he was right, but off by a fraction of a decimal of a degree, which is in the margin of error!
I mean these people are just becoming cartoons of themselves at this point!
The commies are trying to kill Cruz through a thousand cuts. It’s about writing as many negative stories as they can. Facts don’t matter in the least.
Leftard heads are spinning. LOL!
The Blue and Green dots at the bottom are the ACTUAL Measurements....
If you chart for the last 17-15 years the trend is pretty much a STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE! EVEN if you got back to 1975....
Even their most CONSERVATIVE models were way off kilter...
I think Senator Ted is getting under a lot of folks skin.
There has always been an abundance of people running around saying the sky is falling. And, a lot of them are scientists looking for more grant money, or Al Gore trying to sell carbon credits.
