Remember Ted Cruz?
Way back last spring, it seemed the Texas senator could be the front-runner for the most extreme, anti-reason candidate in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. That was, of course, before Donald “All Mexicans Are Rapists” Trump captured the attention of the American populace, turning what was your standard 47-candidate presidential primary into a giant, media-fueled train wreck that the nation’s Democrats are slowly driving by with equal parts horror and delight.
Unfortunately for all candidates who are not Donald “Pass the Hairspray” Trump, you’ve basically got to believe in phrenology, bloodletting, and finding Jesus in a piece of toast to stand out in this crowd. Which brings us to Ted Cruz.
Time reports that at a pageant hosted by the very rich and very evil Koch brothers in order to suss out the candidate they’re going to purchase this time around, Cruz said that climate change is a myth perpetuated by scientists and researchers in order to … well, he didn’t exactly specify why they would engage in a massive campaign to convince you that the planet is in peril when it’s really doing just fine, but he’s pretty sure it’s happening:
“If you look at satellite data for the last 18 years, there’s been zero recorded warming,” Cruz said in California’s Orange County. “The satellite says it ain’t happening.”
Instead, Cruz said, government researchers are reverse engineering data sets to falsify changes in the climate. “They’re cooking the books. They’re actually adjusting the numbers,” Cruz said. “Enron used to do their books the same way.” …
“Senator, you’re not saying global warming isn’t real?” interrupted his interviewer, Politico’s Mike Allen.
“I’m saying that data and facts don’t support it,” Cruz said to applause from 450 donors to the political network organized by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch.
At least the man knows his audience.
Cruz is, to put it bluntly, an idiot — possibly even up there with Donald “John McCain Is a P****” Trump. And while Cruz isn’t alone in the Republican Party in rejecting climate change, the scientific establishment — as well as anyone who has been outside this summer — can clearly see that it’s hot as f*** out there and only getting hotter. Or maybe it’s just all the hot air seeping from the GOP.
Nope. It’s climate change.
Just sayin'.
Forgot the barf alert. Sorry.
Too late.
*Wipes up keyboard*
“Donald “All Mexicans Are Rapists”
Just another example of a leftard having no reluctance to lie.
Climate change = science for those who think star trek was real.
government grants invented it.
Already saw a story about a researcher who didn’t fake his results being fired but sued and got his job back
What has gone wrong in Venezuela?
In August.
Ted Cruz Ping! Yup. We had a hot week of mid to upper 80s here in Michigan but after the cold front last night we’re expecting lows in the mid 50s here in southern Michigan for the next week.
Google Katie Herzog and you’ll discover some things that are mostly not surprising.
It’s all about government control.
I have to give the progressives credit, they’ve done a great job planting this concept in the minds of the public. And of course the logical next step is having government “save” us from it.
The typical USA millennial “knows” far more about climate change than the Constitution.
More accurately, he thinks politicians invented ‘global warming climate change crisis mongering’ and that they’ve induced scientists to jump on the bandwagon
Arrogance is a painfully pathetic pretender to real intellect.
"Katie Herzog is a Seattle-based writer and producer. Her work has been featured on Salon, the Guardian, Vox, and she forcibly subscribed all 1501 of her Gmail contacts to a non-consensual newsletter. Herzog is a staff writer at Grist, and she is currently at work on a book of essays ..."
Why is she wearing BC (birth control) glasses? Are they back in style now?
You should be. I got almost 12 words into this weapons grade stupid rant before I pulled out.
She's one of these "settled science" types who couldn't tell how many electrons are in a shell with the Periodic Table tattooed on her no doubt ample lap, yet she is an expert on what the temperature will be in two hundred years.
hey Katie you brainless twit....they are still trying to melt global warming piles in Boston I think.
