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.
“I do love telling the idiot liberals that the entirety of “Global Warming/Climate Change” was the brainchild of the greedy bastards at Enron.”
How did that work again, please?
People in high places are influenced by demons and spirits of the hoax of Global Waming.
It’s all about giving up man’s God given right to rule, to take domain and subdue the earth, it has nothing to do with protecting the environment.
It’s a spiritual battle against the forces of darkness and us humans giving up our power.
Worship of mother earth is from occultic practices from the new age movement trying to move mankind into the direction that the forces of darkness want us to.
It’s the manipulation of man’s mind and soul by these forces of darkness by any means, through the media, movies, entertainment, emotions to shape and mold the minds to what is about to come.
We live in THE age ( not might be, or could be, or almost there ) of the great deception, truth will be considered foreign and evil, man has be conditioned to believe THE lie.
“Odd, this past year the liberal meme was that all white men in college are rape”
Hypocrisy is one of the principal symptoms of leftardation.
Just part of the overall great deception.
Those in power will see truth as a threat and those who bare the truth and speak the truth will be eliminated by the powers that be.
fool doesn’t know the difference between global warming and climate change.
He is something to ponder.
What is the common denominator with these 2 pictures of this effeminate guy with the coffee mug, that THING from MSNBC and this woman Kate ?
Actually, if she wasn’t a liberal and grew her hair longer she would not be that bad looking if she smiled.
In short, the numbers and results will fit a certain agenda what they have paid it to be.
Environmentalists used to focus on real pollution - chemicals that are not naturally occurring in the environment, that shouldn’t be there and that kill people and animals. The solution was more government control.
Then Reagan went and caused the collapse of the Soviet union. When the iron curtain fell revealed on the other side were the worst environmental disasters in the history of the world, proving that government control is terrible for the environment.
So they had to switch to carbon dioxide, a natural trace gas that is necessary for life on Earth.
Because capitalist countries are far more successful and their economies are far larger, they produce far more carbon dioxide per capita than poor, failing socialist and communist countries. The solution once again is more government control.
This time Socialism will work!
Here in my part of Ga. It’s
Been a rather cool summer so I am
going with a new ice age.
Cruz is right.
Katie must have had some of that Globull warming shoved up her prissy butt. Notice how she never adds any data to back her claim that Cruz and those who agree with him are “idiots”, other than to note that it gets hot in the Summer - of course, she also thinks that the fact that it gets cold in the Winter means there is warming....
I doubt even Mencken dreamed the political classes would attempt to frighten us with the seasons of the year.
Koch Derangememt Syndrome on display.

Nice touch on IR absorption. Not to mention, what was the global temperature and ppm of CO2 in the Jurassic?
Oh, really? Without SUVs...oh. The dinosaurs knew they would *become* fossil fuels and preemptively warmed the atmosphere millions of years in advance.
There have been dinosaur fossils found in what is now Alaska (Pachycephalosaurs, I thought it was). How did we get glaciation? What happened to runaway feedback?
Not sure what question you are asking.
How did telling Liberals this, work out?
Well, they generally get confused, but they always shut up for a moment while trying to process it.
I also like telling them that virtually all of the environmental movement is about killing people.
Or, is your question, How was Enron the Brainchild of Global Warming/Climate Change?
If so, I suggest you read the articles I posted up thread. There are plenty more online if you take some time searching.
“Or, is your question, How was Enron the Brainchild of Global Warming/Climate Change?”
Well, yeah. I’ve seen them accused of a lot, but this is the first time I’m seeing that one.
Enron had a bunch of very smart guys trading energy primarily.
They took advantage of the newly deregulated energy markets and were always looking for additional revenue generating ideas.
Someone at Enron conceived the idea to have Washington regulate co2 and they would create an exchange for trading carbon credits.
They sold Gore on the idea and Enron actually hired scientists to conclude that co2 was a pollutant in order to get the EPA and Washington to regulate it.
IRRC, those Enron “Scientists” testified on Capitol Hill way back in the mid 1990’s.
They leveraged the passion and fear of the environmental movement in order to set themselves up to make billions of dollars.
“...it has nothing to do with protecting the environment.”
While demons may be involved, they are economic demons. It is a way to press for a global redistribution of wealth - which one chairperson at the U.N. admits to:
At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”
