Ted Cruz thinks scientists invented climate change
grist.org ^ | 8/3/2015 | Katie Herzog

Remember Ted Cruz?

Way back last spring, it seemed the Texas senator could be the front-runner for the most extreme, anti-reason candidate in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. That was, of course, before Donald “All Mexicans Are Rapists” Trump captured the attention of the American populace, turning what was your standard 47-candidate presidential primary into a giant, media-fueled train wreck that the nation’s Democrats are slowly driving by with equal parts horror and delight.

Unfortunately for all candidates who are not Donald “Pass the Hairspray” Trump, you’ve basically got to believe in phrenology, bloodletting, and finding Jesus in a piece of toast to stand out in this crowd. Which brings us to Ted Cruz.

Time reports that at a pageant hosted by the very rich and very evil Koch brothers in order to suss out the candidate they’re going to purchase this time around, Cruz said that climate change is a myth perpetuated by scientists and researchers in order to … well, he didn’t exactly specify why they would engage in a massive campaign to convince you that the planet is in peril when it’s really doing just fine, but he’s pretty sure it’s happening:

“If you look at satellite data for the last 18 years, there’s been zero recorded warming,” Cruz said in California’s Orange County. “The satellite says it ain’t happening.”

Instead, Cruz said, government researchers are reverse engineering data sets to falsify changes in the climate. “They’re cooking the books. They’re actually adjusting the numbers,” Cruz said. “Enron used to do their books the same way.” …

“Senator, you’re not saying global warming isn’t real?” interrupted his interviewer, Politico’s Mike Allen.

“I’m saying that data and facts don’t support it,” Cruz said to applause from 450 donors to the political network organized by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch.

At least the man knows his audience.

Cruz is, to put it bluntly, an idiot — possibly even up there with Donald “John McCain Is a P****” Trump. And while Cruz isn’t alone in the Republican Party in rejecting climate change, the scientific establishment — as well as anyone who has been outside this summer — can clearly see that it’s hot as f*** out there and only getting hotter. Or maybe it’s just all the hot air seeping from the GOP.

Nope. It’s climate change.

It was Marxists who invented anthropogenic global warming to grow the power and scope of government.
Scientists who can be bought off with government tax-payer funded grants are required to "legitimize" the scam.

Could all of the liberal sheep just end their BullStalin for the next two years? I’m not buying it.

Pretty mild summer and the hurricane season ain't done much either.

End the alarmism. Their Green Scare ain't workin'.

Odd, this past year the liberal meme was that all white men in college are rape (a meme that is close to the Feminazi talking point that all penile sex with a woman is rape). #EndRapeCulture

This is the language in which Obama-era science chooses to speak.

You are most certainly correct.

NO true scientist would even come close to climate change.

Why?

1. Inability to analyze data...and generate appropriate error bars.
2. Principal Component analysis? Waz dat?
3. Never let data get in the way of a conclusion.
4. Analysis of how far IR absorbtion got 100 years ago vs today? Nah?
5. Computer models that actually predicted anything? Negativo.
6. Revealed emails showing complicity with item 3? Yup
7. Where’s that “ice free” Arctic, Obamahole?
8. And oh yeah, there’s the record setting ice in the Antartic.

Want more?

Lots more, but first, you might try getting a passing grade in “Physics for Poets” and then we can get on to some real science.

Bring it, oh liberal mathphobe.

Some idiot somewhere in the world decided this was a good way to make money, so a word here and a word there and what do we have....a bunch of crap about the weather....it’s either hot, mild, cold, windy, humid, snowy, sunny....live and let live....

There will be untold 000,000,000,000.00s to be made in "processing fees" trading carbon credits. Follow the money.

The asterisks are mine, not the author’s. I hope she doesn’t sue for misquoting her obscenities.

You are welcome.

Sometimes I’m reluctant to post these “back links” on FR since I assume most here already know this stuff.

I’m certain that there is a lot more info regarding Enron’s connections to Clinton, Gore, Congress, EPA, etc if you dig around.

I do love telling the idiot liberals that the entirety of “Global Warming/Climate Change” was the brainchild of the greedy bastards at Enron.

CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE (CCX)

Describes itself as “North America’s only cap-and-trade system for all six greenhouse gases”
Received startup grants totaling $1.1 million from the Joyce Foundation in 2001-02, when Barack Obama sat on the foundation’s board
Closely tied to Al Gore’s company, Generation Investment Management
A key Chicago Climate Exchange board member is Maurice Strong, who has a history of insider-trading transgressions.

I believe this “exchange” effort has been shut down.

There will have to be some sort of entity that manages the transfer of African carbon credits to industrial nations in the West in exchange for $$$.

Yeah, he's the guy who spanked Medea Benjamin last week.

...well, he didn’t exactly specify why they would engage in a massive campaign to convince you that the planet is in peril...

Obviously to advance the left's agenda and/or ride the grant money gravy train, sweetheart. Why else?

“If you look at satellite data for the last 18 years, there’s been zero recorded warming,” Cruz said..

That's a good point. Funny how Ms. Herzog never gets around to dealing with it.

Cruz is, to put it bluntly, an idiot...

At least she didn't call him a racist.

And while Cruz isn’t alone in the Republican Party in rejecting climate change, the scientific establishment — as well as anyone who has been outside this summer — can clearly see that it’s hot as f*** out there and only getting hotter.

lol...QED Ted.

June - August months = northern hemisphere towards the sun = global warming in the northern hemisphere.

November - February months = southern hemisphere towards the sun = global warming in the southern hemisphere.

Climate change = catch-all phrase for when they’re undecided about warming or cooling.

That would be the case if this was a legitimate effort to reduce carbon output globally.

Sadly, there would have likely been any number of US carbon producers that would have agreed to paying this extortion.
