Ted Cruz accurately stated  that satellites show no warming for 17 years.

Climate fraudster Tamino smeared him with this graph

Stupid is as Ted Cruz does | Open Mind

What Tamino did was to use a different data set, extended way past 17 years, and used a five year mean to smear the Mt Pinatubo cooling from the mid-1990’s in with the 1997 temperature. Pure scientific and intellectual malfeasance.

Lies, damned lies, and Tamino statistics. This is typical of how climate criminals operate.
