Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is showing Sierra Club President Aaron Mair to be an ideological hack and global warming alarmist.
At a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Cruz subjected him to a withering cross examination. Mair was reduced to stammering and frequent awkward pauses which he used to receive whispered advice from staff. He repeatedly referred to the discredited “97 percent of scientists concur” claim, and was unwilling to acknowledge valid scientific data that disproves the claim.
Mark Steyn, sitting in for Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday, called Cruz’s relentless questioning of Mair “a thing of beauty.”
Ten different times in his testimony, Mair claimed that “97 percent of the scientists concur and agree that there is global warming.”
“The problem with that particular statistic, which gets cited a lot,” Cruz rebutted, “is it’s based on one bogus study.”
The day began contentiously and Mair proved completely unprepared for the piercing questions posed by Cruz.
“In your written testimony you said that the science behind climate change and its effect on minority communities ‘should not be up for debate.’ I’m curious. For the Sierra Club is this a frequent practice to declare areas of science not up for debate, not up for consideration of what the evidence and data show?” Cruz asked of Mair.

I wish Cruz would have backed up to one higher level and asked this bozo, “Just in general, not referring to AGW, but just in general, would the Sierra Club issue a retraction on a position erroneously taken on any matter, based on evidence provided that is contrary to that erroneous position?”
The answer MUST be yes. Then come back at him.
John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel is an ardent critic of this hokum. The left and GW whackos won't even talk to him, because his arguements are so plausible, they would stammer trying to dispute.
Must see video of Senator Cruz.
Steyn, sitting in for Limbaugh, said that looking at the demographics of the 79 “scientists” that were included in the poll, more were from California than were from Europe, Asia and Africa, combined. Who knew there were so few “scientists” in Europe, Asia and Africa?
Ted knew he would get nothing but the standard line from this guy but did a masterful job of exposing him as the pawn he is.
BTW 97% of statisticians agree that the 97% cited by this guy is fraudulent manipulated data.
While watching the video, I was waiting for Ted to say something like, “Look. Let’s just take a hypothetical for a moment here. Let’s say, what *IF*. What *IF* it were true that the data showed no warming for 18 years? Would sierra Club change its position? Essentially, would *any* fact change Sierra Club’s position?”
Mathematics has proven the human caused global warming/change movement is based on error or a possible outright lie-—http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=230761

Every time
thank you, entertainment for lunch hour
Engineers don't count, they look at the data...:^)
Cruz Ping.
Mair is a total idiot. That the SC eould make him their prezzy is hilarious.
The statistic comes from a lame survey of less than 100 carefully selected alleged scientists. It’s totally bogus.
Heres a research grant for you and you and you and...............
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.
