Ted Cruz vs Sierra Club president
 Motl is a Czech physicist who has had enough of communist nonsense. I follow his blog because I like physics and he is very smart but also because I like his instincts.Sierra Club is an environmental organization founded in 1892. The organization supports the climate alarmism in the maximum way. Normally, you would expect the president of an organization that says to care about the Earth and the environment - and the climate - to know at least something. You would normally expect he knows more than a conservative Republican politician. But you would be totally wrong. The video above shows that the president of the Sierra Club doesn't have the slightest clue about the basic facts concerning the climate change issue. He's much more ignorant than an average schoolkid who has spent 30 minutes by reading sources about this stuff. Aaron Mair's knowledge of the science is clearly much closer to the knowledge of an average gorilla. After a short nonconstructive conversation about the Sierra Club's desire to make any debate about the climate science impossible, Cruz asked Mair about the basically vanishing trend in the global mean temperature in the recent 18 years, according to the satellite (UAH or RSS) measurements. Mair didn't know what the temperature or the satellites meant. So he consulted his staff all the time - like the stupidest kid in the classroom who always has to cheat and be helped by his classmates. The staff didn't know much more. When Cruz asked about the meaning of "the pause", Mair said he knew what it was but he clearly didn't have a clue about it, either. After he talked to his staff, they decided that it was a pause in the warming in the 1940s. Well, that's not what is referred to as "the pause". Even with some basic intelligence, they could have guessed that it was referring to the recent 18 years but Mair and his staff clearly don't have the basic intelligence, either.
