Ted Cruz on the Mike Gallagher Show

you are senator Ted Cruz who just today gets news that the USA today GOP

power rankings has you on the rise senator Cruz congradulations well thank

start with what the audio clip I just played %HESITATION I don't get a chance to hear but senator Lindsey Graham who basically has said the to

his %HESITATION to his fellow but conservatives who doubt or deny the science of climate change where's your proof he

has decided that the that he said he believes in climate change says it's real ninety percent the world scientists say it exists what

what what do you what show where senator Ted Cruz on this contentious conversation about climate change and who causes well

listen I am someone who is the son of two mathematicians and computer programmers and scientists and

and I believe that science and public policy follow the evidence and follow the date I if you if you want to know where I stand

on that I would encourage all of your listeners %HESITATION simply to Google my name and the word Sierra Club right

because lat last week I I chaired a hearing in Washington on the Senate Judiciary Committee ok

dramatically those who are struggling to to achieve the American dream the president of Sierra Club testified

at that hearing any testified about global warming and and so I pressed him on the facts in the science and and

the sad reality now number one the president Sierra Club his testimony said that the issue of global warming should not

be up for debate there can be no questions are no disputes and I pointed out that you know that's the curious approach to science the essence of science is questioning I

need to scientific method you begin with a hypothesis then use evidence to try to disprove that are and that and that really is the sense the feeling we get is that the the

the the side that really seems to worship at the altar of man made and particularly American made climate change says there's to be no dissent it's

decided this is settled science nothing to see here move on and that's the reaction that I think you

assertion they didn't hire that's like a heretic you're blaspheming her what what we are saying and

so what I asked the president Sierra Club as I said well what do you do about the fact but satellite

demonstrate that there had has been no significant warming for eighteen years whatsoever

right and that's a real problem because their computer models that they base this entire cataclysmic serial show

that this though the earth should be getting much much warmer but when the satellites actually measure the temperature it's not have right

now and and and the response you received when you said that if he had utterly no idea what I was talking about he

he he turned to it a yes made and and confused he came back and he repeated statements that Lee was the one it sound like that lately just repeated what he said were ninety

seven percent of scientists agree with that that's what we stand with found that ninety seven percent statistic is the most bogus statistic on her hit it
