This "Fact check" article in the Washington Post gave Cruz 3 Pinoccios and said his statements had been successfully debunked.

But the fact is Ted Cruz is telling the truth. On this and several other subjects. To the MSM this is unforgivable and must be punished.

[Gaffer]

Any “Fact Check” resource any paper today uses is inherently biased. They are all run by liberals.

Wait a minute, wasn’t it like 93 degrees last August? See, globull warming!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

But Carl Mears, senior scientist at Remote Sensing Systems who created the data set underlying the red satellite line, said temperature trends depend on the year chosen as the starting point. If you go back to 1993, for example, then all four lines show an increase in temperatures.

Uh, Cruz didn't say there has been no Global Warming in 22 years. This is so typical of Liberal analysis. They bitch and moan that Cruz is being selective in his data and then they are selective in their data.

It’s like having Harry Reid as your fact checker.

[navyguy]

If you evaluate average temperature over the last 17 years using the RAW data there has been no warming.

Warming is only ‘seen’ when these raw values are ‘massaged’ (read: changed) before they are entered into the models. The data is changed for a variety of reasons, such as attempts to account for urban heat sinks, but all of the changes are complete estimations (read: guesses). Only the models, which are incomplete because they do not account for all possible variable, using manipulated data, show any warming.

Ted Cruz is correct.

[P-Marlowe]

The American people (even those who vote in lockstep with the democrats) don’t give a darn about global warming. This line of attack can only help Ted Cruz. Especially in the Northeast where they are still buried in snow from the coldest winter in perhaps the last 100 years.

Of course, now that it is called Climate Change, even a global drop in temperatures is now allegedly caused by the same thing they claimed would cause a global rise in temperatures. As long as the weather changes they will blame it on CO2.

100% of Global Warming models were wrong:

There are many ways to measure global temperature

No matter how one measures it if one wants to say there is a trend concerning weather the measurement has to be over a period of centuries...not decades!!!

[VanDeKoik]

The article claims that Cruz was wrong....but then proceeds to show he was right, but off by a fraction of a decimal of a degree, which is in the margin of error!

I mean these people are just becoming cartoons of themselves at this point!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Leftard heads are spinning. LOL!

[GraceG]

The Blue and Green dots at the bottom are the ACTUAL Measurements....

If you chart for the last 17-15 years the trend is pretty much a STRAIGHT HORIZONTAL LINE! EVEN if you got back to 1975....

[BigEdLB]

I think Senator Ted is getting under a lot of folks skin.

Weekly standard on Michelle Ye Hee Lee

[kjam22]

The one fact that I know for certain, is that when I was a kid they were saying that the world was headed for another ice age. Without a doubt. Just like what killed the dinosaurs. Now its global warming.

There has always been an abundance of people running around saying the sky is falling. And, a lot of them are scientists looking for more grant money, or Al Gore trying to sell carbon credits.

[privatedrive]

Any ‘fact check’ that quotes Michael Mann is a sham (like he is).

[MichaelCorleone]

This is one the many areas that should be thoroughly and publically examined.

There are several qualified people who have publically stated that GW is BS. Without exception these people were fired and never heard from again. Mr. Cruz should seek them out and give them a chance to be heard.

[Art in Idaho]

Global Warming, aka Climate Change, is follow the grant money and who gives the grants. Who gives the grants tells you what outcome they expect.

[dware]

I’m with Cruz on the global warming issue. I am, however, slightly concerned about his vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act. I’m on the Cruz bandwagon, but without a good explanation to reauthorize that monstrosity, I’m on shaky ground. A true, dyed in the wool Conservative would do everything possible to shut down the Patriot Act.

[Zakeet]

You Freepers should cut the Enviro-tards some slack ... because they really
mean well ... and they always do everything they can to save the planet!

[FreeReign]

From 1998 to 2012, the last year in that data set, the red satellite data found a decrease in temperatures, at -0.043 degrees centigrade per decade. The rest found modest growth, ranging from 0.061 degrees to 0.072 degrees centigrade per decade.

The margin of error for the four cited data sets is greater than the puny temperature change that they found.

This is BS!

The "fact checkers" are ignorant of basic statistics.

Cruz was right.
