Ted Cruz’s claim that there has been ‘zero’ global warming in 17 years
Washington Post ^ | March 26, 2015 | Michelle Ye Hee Lee

“Many of the alarmists on global warming, they’ve got a problem because the science doesn’t back them up. In particular, satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years, there’s been zero warming.” –Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex,), “Late Night with Seth Meyers” interview, March 17, 2015

“The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that – that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.” –Cruz, CNN interview released Feb. 20, 2014

Cruz has been taking some heat — pun intended — lately over his global warming comments. While the recent focus has been on his interview on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Cruz made similar comments in the past, as shown in the CNN interview in February 2014.

When a liberal “fact checks” he compares any assertion (truth) against the shared group consensus (false narrative) and cries fowl to protect the group from considering alternative viewpoints. The louder the cries, the more accurate the counter viewpoint.

Ted Cruz is causing the kind of noise found only at a ‘70s Ted Nugent concert.

[ Here’s the problem: they need to take into account ONLY weather stations that are not located anywhere near an urban area, where the heat island effect skews all the measurements. ]

Wanna limit “climate change”????

Tear down the liberal cities and live like the people in “
flyover country”.....

Then the “climate change” will stop.... along with the whining about it, propel will be too busy working to worry about the climate and instead will bitch about the weather occasionally...

The quote is not correct. I just heard him on Rush and I watched it from CNN. He did not say zero. He did a great job. But these same yapper yippers sound the same alarm regardless of the truth. Distort, lie and spread.

Man-caused global warming is a hoax. Temperatures today aren’t as warm as during the Roman Warm period or during the Medieval Warm period. The hoaxers have been exposed repeatedly and only the most gullible still believe the scam.

They removed all of the Siberian stations because they were "skewing the data" in a direction unfavorable to their agenda.

"100% of global warming models were wrong."

That doesn't matter. Pay up and give up-Let the government control you so they can control the weather.

Even if you accept the “fact” that temps went up, prove the “fact” that it was caused by human activity.

The climate has been changing for as long as there has been climate.

For fun, search on “Milankovitch Cycle”.

If the warming has not paused, why are there so many AGW scientists proposing theories as to why it paused ? That is why you can never win a debate against a progressive. As Reagan said, they must be transcended. They will deny something and then explain why that something exists.

Most of their adjustments actually raise the recent temperatures and lower past temperatures. Because they have weird protocols about how the sensitivity of the instrument changed over time. The time of day the reading was taken. Etc. Etc. Basically progressive scientist are just like progressives. You cannot trust anything they say or do.

“I’m tired of getting screwed.”

Sorry to hear your problem, but the logic behind it, carried to the logical conclusion would be, so my solution is to screw the rest of you, and if you think you are tired of getting screwed, the rest of us are tired of getting screwed by folks just unwilling to vote, regardless of the party affiliation or more to the point precisely because of the party.

I never said I wouldn't be voting. I won't be voting GOP (Cruz will be the only GOP candidate to get my vote), but I never said I wouldn't vote. If you're dumb enough to keep voting GOP after the thrashing they've given us Conservatives over the last 5 years, well, then you're part of the problem.

Correct. In fact, if there REALLY is anthropogenic global warming, how come Japan experienced some of the highest snowfalls ever recorded on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu island in the last ten years?

In a real sense, it is not a hoax.

"Because they have weird protocols".

Like putting the sensors next to air conditioner exhaust ducts. Or where they change or remove data (East Anglia) they don't like.

The satellite data (blue squares), indeed shows no no warming over the past 16 years, just as Cruz said.

He might be wrong. I thought it was 18 years now.

"Yeah and in 1993 (March 17) we had a blizzard.

And what a blizzard it was. Lots of people died. I lived in Chicago at the time, my dad passed away in Florida, started out driving just as the storm began, drove to Nashville but I-24 was shut down, tried I-65 to Birmingham but State police had it blocked, drove SW to Memphis, down the Mississippi, along the Gulf, looking at the snowmen in front yards in the Florida panhandle, and finally, after 36 nonstop hours (except for pee and gas breaks) made it to Orlando just in time for the funeral. My daughter on a school trip to DC was stuck in Pennsylvania for 3 days.

So "22 years" likely a very-cherry picked date.
