Ted Cruz sat down with Glenn Beck Thursday, and had this to say on the subject of ‘climate change’
RWW News: Ted Cruz Says That 'Climate Change Is Not Science, It's Religion' (video)
“You know part of the reason he (the president of the Sierra Club) didn't know the facts? Because climate change is not science, it's religion.
Look at the language where they call you a "denier" Denier is not the language of science. Look, I'm the child of two scientists. My parents are both mathematicians, computer programmers. My dad was self-taught geophysicist. The essence of the scientific method is to start with a hypothesis, and then look to the evidence to disprove the hypothesis. You're not trying to prove it, you're trying to disprove it. Any good scientist is a skeptic, if he's not, he or she should not be a scientist.
But yet the language of the global warming alarmists, "denier" is the language of religion, it's heretic, you are a blasphemer.
The response from the Sierra Club, "We have decreed this is the answer, you must accept it." And so he didn't know his facts because he just knew his religion.
Of course, this has made Warmists very mad. EcoWatch calls it an “alarming video”. And, for Warmists, it is, because it exposes the fallacy and insanity of the ‘climate change’ movement. I’ve listened to Cruz speak on the subject before, and he sort-of steals my line in calling it a political movement and “It was massive government control of the economy, the energy sector, and every aspect of our lives.”
Roe Romm’s George Soros funded Climate Progress is also very upset, and writer Samantha Page spins madly, highlighting that this is not science
The data he is referring to is very specific. Cruz is looking only at satellite data - not ground-level data or oceanographic data - and he does not say "18 years" just as a random number.
Would this be the same data that the NOAA is refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena over? The data that has received massive adjustments, all upwards? The same data that is biased towards warming due to UHI/land use? Yes.
Ninety- seven percent of published, peer-reviewed climate science papers concur that man-made climate change is occurring.
If you’re throwing out “consensus”, especially from an utterly debunked study, you’re talking politics, sociology, and even religion, not science.
He also seems to not have seen any of the data showing that the world is hot and getting hotter. 2015 is on track to be the hottest year on record. 2016 will likely beat it.
Except, at most, it would only be hundreds of a degree, and this is prognostication before the facts. We already know how this worked out for the 2014 claim. They’re already telling us what the data will say, and they’ll make darned sure that the data says that.
My only disagreement with Cruz is that this is not really religion, it is a cult.
And doing it so beautifully! I love the way he puts things! He’s so eloquent and so true.
He says things that invite attack because when he’s under fire is when he shines the brightest.
Amen :-)
More like a cult (think Heaven’s Gate, Jonestown, Scientology)
Rush Limbaugh exposed the radicals in the environmental movement way back when he was doing the Rush to Excellence Tours.
I’m thankful TED CRUZ is exposing this movement. Their objective is to regulate America to a third world nation. Our nation is the only nation that adheres to their lunacy. Hopefully many of the Executive Orders will be reversed with the next President.
TED CRUZ 2016
“Science” by consensus is not science at all.
Real science is a continuing questioning of whatever conclusions made in the past in relation to any subject, and a willingness to analyze every aspect of the generally accepted beliefs, especially in light of newly discovered relevant facts.
1. Observation
2. Hypothesis
3. Prediction
4. Experiment
5. Conclusion
Somewhere between “hypothesis” and “conclusion”, these “climate scientists” miss one or more of the very vital steps, and fail to recheck their steps over and over, LOOKING for holes in their own arguments. Then they get all huffy when somebody else points out the logical errors committed.
And nobody can be as hostile as the person who is in the wrong and knows it, but will not compromise.
Exploding heads make such a satisfying POP!.
Amen. They have to have blind faith in the high priests of Climate Change to believe in their obviously manipulated “facts.” The National Weather Service has predicted major hurricanes as a product of climate change ever since 2005’s Katrina. Nothing. But they can predict what the climate will be like 100 or even 1000 years in the future. Believing in the unprovable is a religion, not “settled science.”
Are there any Chrisitan (Evangelical) Globull Warmists? I would venture to say no. In that case, GW is a cult of the atheistic, No-God religion.
Anyone read this weeks NASA reports on the **expanding**glaciers? And the faulty sensors on the satellites that caused scientists to believe there was soot on the glaciers and thus debunked that theory?
The key is DECEPTION.
Keep speaking truth to power Sen Cruz!
The real damage being done by the climate change crazies is the neglect of serious environmental issues, like water and waste disposal. Those issues aren’t amenable to the anti-capitalist spin so they get ignored.
Cruz has it wrong. Socialism is the religion, climate change a central tenant of that religion.
Liberal heads are made to explode, like muslim bomb belts.
The 97% cited is a very small selected group of well over 1,000 scientists, selected specifically for the quote.

Maybe but I think he is very logical and frames in 9th grade simplicity easy to understand if only willing.
I’ve met some and argued with them. AGW can fit in nicely with the idea of the inherent evil of mankind. And some evangelicals have an appallingly weak understanding of basic science (Carbon Cycle, Solar Activity, Meteorology, etc.) or just how small we and our works are compared to nature. But it’s the neo-pagans who go back to their roots demanding human sacrifice on a massive scale so Gaia may be appeased.
You buy a Lab coat at Goodwill and you think you’re a Scientist
More like a long con game than a religion.
