Cruz needs help with his truthiness, and you're certainly the wrong person to help him. Climate Denial Crock of the Weekwith Peter Sinclair Guardian: Ted Cruz/Satellite Fact Check There is a great irony here. Climate contrarians decry necessary adjustments to raw surface temperature data (even though the adjustments reduce the warming trend), and have even launched inquiries, accusing scientists of conspiring to manipulate the surface temperature data. Yet they have no qualms with the more numerous and complex adjustments made the satellite data. Contrarians claim that models are worthless, and yet unwaveringly trust the models used to turn microwave detections into synthetic temperature estimates. There’s excessive “skepticism” applied to the surface temperature data and a serious lack of skepticism of the satellite data. There’s a term that describes this behavior: ‘confirmation bias.’ The data that conflict with contrarian worldviews are rejected, while those that conform to their preconceived biases are accepted. In the end, Ted Cruz’s claim is rated false by every objective measure. climatecrocks.com
