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.
Someone should tell the Gore-Bull Warmists that in micro-climate heating of cities filled with asphalt and cement absorbing large amounts of heat along with the direct heating of large building and homes causes large columns of rising hot air. This rising warmer air from large metro areas disrupts the jet-streams and has far far more of an effect on local and national weather than a few tenths of degrees here and there...
And then tell them that there is ONLY ONE SOLUTION to fix this, TEAR DOWN THEIR PRECIOUS CITIES!!!!
But I don’t think Ted Cruz should bring this up, because that would mean there would be so many exploded liberal heads that the entire country would smell like rotting meat for a couple decades...
