The war of words over climate change is getting blisteringly hot between Gov. Jerry Brown and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, with the Republican presidential candidate blithely dismissing the Democratic governor as one of those global warming alarmists who relies on ridicule and insult.
A Brown campaign strategist shot back Monday that the factually irrational Cruz is apparently now determined to stand out from a pack of troglodytes in the GOP race for the White House.
The public slap down and the dis of Brown came as Cruz formally announced his run for the White House at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., becoming the first Republican to jump into the 2016 race.
Cruz was responding to Browns statements on Meet the Press Sunday, when he launched into a verbal beat down of Cruz when asked about the senators recent observation that in New Hampshire, there was snow and ice everywhere, more evidence that theres been zero warming.
That man betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of the existing scientific data, Brown told host Chuck Todd. Its shocking, and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office.
Cruz shot back, telling Sirius XM radios Breitbart News Sunday that global warming alarmists like Brown ridicule and insult anyone who actually looks at the real data, and engage in ad hominem attacks. Cruz insisted global warming isnt happening, even though apocolypic computer models said we should see substantial warming.
