Ted Cruz Tells Seth Meyers: I’m a Global Warming Skeptic Because I Follow Data
Mar. 17, 2015
MEYERS: “Now, let’s talk — my question is more about the rhetoric of the world is on fire. now first i got excited because i thought maybe you were coming around on global warming, but that’s not the case, right? because i think the world’s on fire literally. [ laughter ] hottest year on record. [ cheers ] but you’re not there, right? >> you know, it’s interesting you say that as i just came back from new hampshire where there’s snow and ice everywhere. and my view actually is simple. debates on this should follow science and should follow data. and many of the alarmists on global warming — they got a problem because the science just doesn’t back them up. in particular, satellite data demonstrates for the last 17 years there’s been zero warming, none whatsoever. it’s why — you remember how it used to be called global warming, and then magically the theory changed to climate change? >> seth: sure. >> the reason is it wasn’t warming, but the computer models still say it is except the satellites show it’s not. >> seth: so you trust satellites more than computers? because i have directv, and i’d rather watch on my computer. when that thing goes out — >> and you know, cable shows that it’s not warming either. >
