Dana Point, Calif. – Senator Ted Cruz on Sunday got perhaps the most enthusiastic applause of any Republican presidential candidate to appear before the 450 donors drawn to Southern California for the Koch brothers’ summer conference with a point-blank denial of global warming.
Politico’s Mike Allen moderated a question-and-answer session with the Texas senator, who said of global warming simply, “The data and facts don’t support it.”
The Texas senator, who dominated his time on stage, leaning into Allen and at one point waving off a question from the moderator, went on to deliver a full-throated denial of global warming and a scathing evisceration of its proponents. The riff showcased Cruz in all of his rhetorical glory – relentless, uncompromising, and witty, talking about an issue on which many Republicans have softened. Cruz at times grate on conservatives, but the off-the-cuff riff was something his supporters will surely point to as a high-point of the campaign season and a reason why this is their guy.
Allen asked Cruz if he is concerned by a Boston Globe story published on Saturday that suggests Republicans will pay a price in 2016 for their skepticism about climate change. Cruz’s response? “Not remotely.”
He went on to recall the 1970s panic over global cooling and a coming ice age. “The solution they proposed was massive government control of the economy, the energy sector, and our lives. Then the data disproved it,” he said. ”Then it became global warming. Interestingly enough, the solution was identical: massive government control over the economy, the energy sector, and our lives. Then the data didn’t support it, so they entered theory number three, climate change. Now, to any power-greedy politician, this is the perfect theory, it can never, ever, ever, be disproven, if it gets hotter, if it gets colder, if it gets wetter, if it gets drier.”
The climate issue is in the news once again with the administration set to unveil sweeping new regulations on carbon emissions from power plants. President Obama earlier in the day released a video that warns of “hotter summers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events.”
Asked whether the president is exaggerating, Cruz said, ”You know, there’s a different word than exaggerating.”
Ask any AGW supporter if they have ever heard of the phrase “sensitive dependence upon initial conditions”. If they have no clue what it is, laugh at them. If they do, ask them how the hell they think they can model long term weather.
These people will do anything to control the people. They will lie, cheat, steal and yes even commit murder to get their way. The majority of the people in the world realizes that, but it will take some one, like Ted Cruz, to peel the curtain wide open and call those people what they really are, LIARS. Now we have other scientists that says within 15 years, we may be headed for a MINI ICE AGE. Because the sun, for some reason, is beginning to cool down. We need more people, with a louder voice, to fight these liars.
You’re right daddy’s girl - there’s lots of money on the table with this scam....
The sun isn't cooling down.
It is sunspot activity that is reaching a minimum. We are over midway through Solar Cycle 24.
All indications are that we are going into a period (a few decades) of very very low sunspot activity.
Please read The Chilling Stars. It is a fascinating read. If provides the "real science" of how decreased sunspot activity results in increased GCR (Galactic Cosmic Rays) hitting the Earth's atmosphere. It is a wonderfully enjoyable read about how this interaction results in much cooler temperatures.
It seems that we will most likely be entering another Maunder Minimum.
Those scammers have done us loads of harm and cost us a fortune. They have way too much power. Defund, and thus disempower them with RICO. ALSO put the worst of them where they can experience the carbon footprint they’re trying to impose on us — in jail.
A close look at the data indicates higher CO2 levels appear AFTER the temperature increases. It is a result, not a cause.
Anyway - Cruz gets it on climate change.
And while a lot of it is for personal gain, I think even more is a way to press for a global redistribution of wealth - which some of the global warming people even admit to. I seem to recall a quote by some U.N. person - ah - here is is as follows below:
At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
The fight is really for the hearts and minds of the American people. Let’s face it, about 50% of our population is ignorant of anything that is happening, and can be swayed by whoever has the best propaganda. The other 50%? about 10% are on the government side for financial reason, and the other 40% really doesn’t believe what the government is saying about anything.
Wow! These people are just evil. That info needs to get to Drudge.
Democrats want to give money to second rate ‘scientists’... the type that can’t do math... it makes them feel special.... and it’s how they buy votes.
Walkin’ around money...
Ted Cruz Ping! Read the book The Third Horseman for an account of what happened the last time the Earth cooled.
Thanks. I will look it up. It sounds interesting.
