Total ignorance from the Sierra club
Sierra Club President Aaron Mair has a deep voice but a remarkably empty head. All he could do is deny the accepted evidence when Senator Ted Cruz tested his global warming certainties. It is astonishing how little he knows and how much help he needs from staff. Warmists really are not comfortable in debates, as we have often noticed. Clearly, however, Mair is an affirmative action appointee. I wonder if the Sierra Club are still happy about that in the light of the debacle below. Do they stand behind his totally uninformed and wrong comments? They invite ridicule if they do
Texas senator and Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz questioned Sierra Club President Aaron Mair in a contentious testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday.
But on one question in particular, Mair would not deviate from his rehearsed answer.
When asked about the 18 year pause in global warming, as documented by satellite data, Mr. Mair denied it exists. “So if the data are contrary to your testimony, would the Sierra Club issue a retraction?” Cruz asked.
“Sir, we concur with the 97 percent scientific consensus with regards to global warming,” Mair responded.
When Senator Cruz pressed the environmentalist on whether he would change his testimony should the Sierra Club obtain the publicly available data showing the “pause,” Mair would only respond, “We concur with 97 percent of the scientists that believe the anthropogenic impact of mankind with regards to global warming are true.”
Cruz then asked again if Mair was unwilling to answer the question. The Sierra Club chief replied, “We concur with the preponderance of the evidence — you’re asking me if we’ll take 3 percent over the 97 percent? Of course not.”
After a repeated back-and-forth, an exasperated Cruz concluded, “You know, Mr. Mair, I find it striking that for a policy organization that purports to focus exclusively on environmental issues, that you are not willing to tell this committee that you would issue a retraction if your testimony is objectively false under scientific data. That undermines the credibility of any organization.”

Christ is that guy stupid!
The data is there and he ignores it!
Next they'll try to convince us the earth is flat!
W.P.,
His job isn't to study data, or to understand. It is merely to push the view that is held. Pushing the lie is a way of destabilizing government and society. Between the greed of those profiting from it and politics of the left that is involved with it, you have to understand which you are dealing with. This "man" isn't smart enough to deal with data. He is paying a lot of money because he is black and follows a script.
