In case you missed it, here’s Ted Cruz on Tuesday during the Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the topic of federal regulations and their impact on minority communities. He was questioning Sierra Club president Aaron Mair about “settled science” vs. hard evidence ~
Smack-down! ~
Your response is quite striking. I asked about the science and the evidence; the actual data. We have satellites, they’re measuring temperature. That should be relevant. And your answer was “pay no attention to your lying eyes and the numbers that the satellites show, instead listen to the scientists who are receiving massive grants who tell us ‘do not debate the science.’” […]
I find it striking that for a public policy organization that purports to focus exclusively on environmental issues, that you’re not willing to tell this committee that you would issue a retraction if your testimony is objectively false under scientific data. That undermines the credibility of any organization, if you will persist in a political position regardless of the science shows, regardless of the facts, regardless of the evidence, and regardless of the data. That is not consistent, I would suggest, with sound public policy.
When it comes to global warming the fact is, the facts don’t matter. The real “inconvenient truth” is that “climate change” is merely a tool to advance the progressive agenda, and redistribute wealth on a global scale ~
