Checking Cruz's climate science denial clangers [Left hits Cruz when Court blocks Obama's legacy]

I have no clue how many climate science denial myths a Republican presidential candidate can fit onto the head of a pin, but given these zingers are generally huge it's probably not that many.

But we do now have some clue how many myths one of those candidates, Senator Ted Cruz, can fit into an eight-minute diatribe. At least six.

When asked about climate change at recent hustings, Cruz has been delivering a stock set of answers from the Little Book of Climate Change Denial (not a real book).

At one such event in New Hampshire, the representative from Texas delivered a diarrhea-like splurge (sorry) of talking points, myths and cherry-picked factoids.

[6] Pseudoscience

As a sort of climax to his splurge, Cruz has been saying that climate change is the "perfect pseudoscientific theory" because it can "never, ever, ever be disproven."

This is a little bit like saying you can't disprove that there's a small community of genetically modified clown people living on Uranus (I suggest a quick check with a long-handled mirror).

But what would it take to "disprove" human-caused climate change? Well, here's a few things.

You'd have to first overturn the laws of atmospheric physics, and maybe then prove the atmosphere and oceans are not heating up, that the world's plants and animals on the move across the world are reacting to something else (like, say, messages from Uranus), that the oceans are rising just because they fancy it and that all the recent record hot years could have just come along by chance.

Shouldn't be too hard, eh?

The Left’s hysteria about man made global warming has been exposed as a fraud and they still won’t let it die.

You are exactly right. Professor Mann and his English counterpart were telling each other how to cook the books to arrive at the famous hockey stick and the proof is in their emails. They should be in jail.

[a fool in paradise]

The hockey stick chart predicted things were only going to get exponentially worse. They haven’t. There was a 20 year cooling trend they did not expect.

The old charts were junk science by false prophets of doom.

That they continue to use the old models reveals the fraud at play.

A BTW casual mention warrants a tirade, got it.

This place is getting nuts.

If AL moron is behind it it’s fake.

[hinckley buzzard]

Trusting the words of a British left wing science writer on a partisan political issue is pretty much a bad idea.
