Ted Cruz
Tea Party dumbfuck
"Today the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-earthers," Cruz continued. "You know it used to be: 'It is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat.' And this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier."
It was not scientific wisdom at the time, and Galileo was one of along list of scientists who questioned the flat earth belief.
Galileo also based his science on measurements, just as climate change is based on data.
“Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be measured.”
― Galileo Galilei
Ted Cruz is no Galileo, he is just another tool.
