It's a Philly.com Sci-check, must be true.

Hey Philly, if you want to talk science, give me a call and we’ll talk science.

Cruz, by the way, will undoubtedly have passed far more intellectually demanding courses than your president, Gore, or the rest of the idiots out there who know nothing about greenhouse gases past the most simple definition.

And as for your “journalists”....feggedabowdit.

This whole “flat earther” accusation sure has their panties in a wad, does it not?

The use of the term “scientific consensus” is proof the global alarmists are engaging in politics.

Don’t forget, not only did they boo Santa, they threw snowballs at him, too. You can look it up.

That’s the comparison I always thought was most apt: Galileo vs the entrenched cronies.
Galileo’s heliocentrism vs the cronies’ geocentrism is apt too.

There is absolutely no Global warming. None. If you want to sell me Climate change to transfer my wealth— give me objective measurable criteria for your conclusion or I will never accept your made up conclusion. These people must be quarantined until they are better.

The libs know not just “global warming” but pretty much their entire worldview has a crumbling foundation. They’re worried that a plain-speaker like Cruz is going to kick the whole damn house into the sinkhole.

Some of them understand that this fraud is a means to an end they know they can’t sell otherwise.

Those people I can deal with.

The ones that get me are those that have their righteousness wrapped around their environmentalism.
Of course, if the earth isn’t in danger, then their advocacy counts for nothing on the “I’m a good person” scale.

“and in the process made several incorrect and unsubstantiated claims. “ Well of course. His science background is about as valid as, oh say, algore? But then again, I’d sooner believe Cruz than the scammer extrodinaire algore. Just my casual observation. No scientific supporting data to back up such a claim. Hey asshats! Warmer is better for the entire planet. What a bunch of idjits.

Yet another “scientific” article making no scientific arguments, only rhetorical ones.

What does “scientific consensus” mean? What did it mean in the 1970’s? What does it mean now? What relevance, if any, does it have to “science” or, more generally, to the truth of the matter?

” There have now been 360 consecutive months when the global temperature was above the 20th century average.”

What’s “global temperature” mean? How was it calculated over those 360 months? How was the “20th century average” calculated/measured? What’s the basis for the comparison? What are the uncertainties? How were they determined? Are they greater or less than the difference? We ordinary mortals would like to know. Excuse us for asking.

Their point is to give themselves the moral high ground, equating the earth to God. It’s not. Can’t be. Even if the Pope says so.

Stewardship is part of faith. Faith is much more than that.

I think Cruz might be the only one, who can actually respond convincingly to these a ho*es...

There have now been 360 consecutive months when the global temperature was above the 20th century average.

Averages are rarely a statistically significant factor in science.

You would think that someone writing about science would use mean or median 20th century temperature.

But maybe those figures did not support his argument.

But on another note I suppose he would want to totally ignore 18th century which quite cold.

The unnamed author notes that Cruz cherry picks a year well the author cherry picks a century.

Imagine how many writers and ‘journalists’ have had to google ‘Galileo’ this week.
