Excellent answer to a whiny ignorant liberal. Cruz made that snot look like a 4 year old. That foolish "greeny weeny" helped Cruz spread the message that the green movement is really nothing but mildew and moss growing on progressive's behinds. Good going Cruz. I found this video on Youtube and the comments have been disabled.

He continued: 

From the dawn of time the climate has been changing. Until the end of time the climate will change. And yet, interestingly enough the political liberals, their solution to climate change is exactly the same as it was to global cooling and global warming — massive government control of the economy, energy sector, and our lives.

And when you start to see politicians who propose the exact same solution to every problem regardless of the facts or the data, you start to think these are politicians who just want power over our lives.

You know what I’m interested in? I’m interested in the single moms who are working here who are struggling to feed their kids and are seeing their electric bills skyrocketing because these liberals are driving up their electric bills, driving up their energy bills, making it harder and harder to provide for their kids. We need to follow the facts and data and not just give power to a bunch of out of touch elites in Washington over our lives.”

Cruz, whether you like him or not, showed that he believed in climate change and that liberals and progressives will use it to promote their agenda that doesn't seem to change!

When two climate change clerics ambushed Ted Cruz, attempting to shame him as a climate denier, or something, wishing to bring down the former national collegiate debate champion, they were thoroughly schooled, leaving them looking like the whiny little leftist useful idiots that they are.  Posting it on their own site they claim Cruz as a heretical climate denier, but morons that they are, they were effectively schooled by Cruz, but too dumb to know it.

When “Tyler,” approached Cruz with the “gotcha” question, “How can you come here when your voting record basically says you don’t care about this community?” Cruz beautifully turns the tables on him, using a leftist concern, income inequality, against him:

“You know what’s interesting about voting records and communities — if you look at what’s happening in the last six-and-a-half years people are hurting across this country, they’re losing their jobs.

We’ve got right now the lowest percentage of Americans working since 1978. And what’s happened under the Obama-Clinton economy? The rich have gotten richer. You know the top 1%, the millionaires and billionaires the president demagogues against all the time? Today [they] earn the highest percentage of income of any year since 1928.

The reason I am running for President is to bring back an environment of jobs and economic growth and opportunity because the people who are hurting right now are young people, are Hispanics, are African-Americans, are single moms. So when you talk about a community here, people here want jobs and economic opportunity and they’re getting hammered.”

(Cruz continued after being prompted on climate change and mentioning that global cooling was the science back when he was growing up)

“Let’s step back for a second and look at this with some historical perspective. Thirty or forty years ago there were a group of political liberals and scientists who said we were facing global cooling. They said we were headed toward a global ice age and the solution to global cooling was massive government control of the economy, the energy sector, and every aspect of our lives.

Then the data disproved it.

That was not in fact correct that we were seeing global cooling. So that was kind of a problem. So then, many of these same political liberals, and many of these same scientists they then latched on to a new theory — it’s called global warming. And the new theory of global warming interestingly enough, the solution was the exact same as the solution had been for global cooling. It was massive government control of the economy, the energy sector, and every aspect of our lives. But then the problem became the data and evidence didn’t back up global warming.

In particular, if you look at the satellite data. Listen, I am the son of two scientists and mathematicians. It is the essence of science to look to the evidence. In the last eighteen years there has been no meaningful recorded warming according to the satellite data. So all of a sudden all these political liberals, the evidence and data didn’t back them up. So then, the theory changed to a third version — it’s just been in the last few years — when the theory magically transformed into climate change. And climate change from the perspective of a political liberal who wants government power, climate change is the perfect pseudo-scientific theory.

Why is that?

Because it can never be disproven. Whether it’s hotter or colder, whether is wetter or drier, the climate is always changing. Now you asked a question, ‘Do you believe in climate change?’  

Of course!
