[2ndDivisionVet]

A day late and a dollar short Mr. Affirmative Action Hire.

[Maceman]

How was it an attack? It’s not Cruz’s fault if the head of the Sierra Club couldn’t produce or cite actual data to support his Global Warming Alarmism when asked to do so.

[MNJohnnie]

There is no “Climate Science” in the Sierra Club’s propaganda.

Sore losers

[Tenacious 1]

There’s an old lawyerly adage that “if you don’t have the law on your side, argue the facts. If you don’t have the facts on your side, pound the table.” You did a very good job pounding the table this week.

Then this a$$hat goes and pounds his own table. I think the wackos are confused about what a "FACT" is.

[Paladin2]

Mr. Know-nuttin is unlikely to be able to cite the 77/79 carefully chosen "scientists" as being the source of his 97% of Scientists statistic that he has hung his scalp on.

Well less than a hundred doofusses doesn't even get close to winning an appeal to authority argument.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Cruz uses facts, Sierra Club uses propaganda.

[The_Media_never_lie]

The Sierra Club is nothing more than a political hack organization. I do not trust them.

[NeoCaveman]

He still didn’t answer Senator Cruz’s questions.

[Skooz]

97%: The percentage of scientists who agree that the climate is changing and that human activity is the cause.

How many times does this absurd piece of misinformation need to be refuted?

Mr. Mair, Ted Cruz shredded you like cheese. In front of the world. Deal with it.

[mfish13]

“97%: The percentage of scientists who agree that the climate is changing and that human activity is the cause.

When you have this BS used as a fact you know the rest of it is crapola. This percentage comes from a small sample of scientists (44) that live off government grants. Only one said that humans were not the issue. He probably lost his funding.

[MrB]

Hmm... in all these neighborhoods where these poor people live in these dirty conditions....

what’s the voting pattern?

[MrB]

8: The count of the numbers I see that A-a-ron pulled out of his ass.

Sierra Club’s Aaron Mair Responds to Sen. Ted Cruz’s Attack on Climate Science

Aaron Mair is to "science" as child molestation is to child care.

[MrB]

100%: The number of scientists receiving 2nd government grants to study climate that first concluded climate change was man-made.

[tet68]

97

97% of scientists thought the world was flat at one time
too.

[bray]

Where is the proof of any of his claims? The so called 97% of scientists is a discredited poll at a Global Warming convention. They have never polled all scientists in general or climate scientists.

Pray America is waking

[wideawake]

60% of African Americans and Latinos reside in communities with a toxic waste site and within 30 miles of a power plant

Let's pretend for a moment that this is a reliable statistic.

It is meaningless unless you can demonstrate that only after this demographic moved into the area did the "toxic waste sites" get put in place.

As for living 30 miles from a power plant? How many Americans live more than 30 miles from a power plant?

I never have.

Everyone living in the wealthiest zip codes in America lives within 30 miles of a power plant.

[Hoffer Rand]

60 and 30: 60% of African Americans and Latinos reside in communities with a toxic waste site and within 30 miles of a power plant

Don't most Americans live within 30 miles of a power plant if they're anywhere near an urban center? I'm counting a dozen within 30 miles of me. Or is he talking about the big, bad, scary n-word power plants?

[cuban leaf]

The whole article was a verbose ad hominem attack which, as usual, is all liberals have.
