No, really. Or, perhaps on Twitter. Because, really, almost no blogging Skeptics that I’ve seen bring up the line at the end
(Washington Post) Â In an interview with The Texas Tribune, Cruz talked about climate change. Specifically, he said this, as transcribed by the Huffington Post’s Kate Sheppard:
On the global warming alarmists, anyone who actually points to the evidence that disproves their apocalyptical claims, they don’t engage in reasoned debate. What do they do? They scream, ‘You’re a denier.’ They brand you a heretic. Today, the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.
That line about “flat-Earthers” has sent Warmists into apoplexy, apparent at the Washington Post, the Huffington Post linke, Joe Romm’s George Soros funded Climate Progress, MSNBC, and so many more.
If you look at global warming alarmists, they don’t like to look at the actual facts and the data. The satellite data demonstrate that there has been no significant warming whatsoever for 17 years. Now that’s a real problem for the global warming alarmists. Because all those computer models on which this whole issue is based predicted significant warming, and yet the satellite data show it ain’t happening.
I read this morning a Newsweek article from the 1970s talking about global cooling. And it said the science is clear, it is overwhelming, we are in a major cooling period, and it’s going to cause enormous problems worldwide. … Now, the data proved to be not backing up that theory. So then all the advocates of global cooling suddenly shifted to global warming, and they advocated it’s warming, and the solution interestingly enough was the exact same solution — government control of the energy sector and every aspect of our lives.
Now, how many times have you seen me write something similar, usually along the lines of “Warmists want the Central government to have control over our lives, our private entities, and the economy”? Thanks for reading PC, Ted. A shout out would be nice.
