	"And many of the alarmists on global warming, they've got a problem because the science doesn't back them up. And in particular, satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years there's been zero warming, none whatsoever." [http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2015/03/ted-cruz-seth-myers-climate-change 2015]		"And many of the alarmists on global warming, they've got a problem because the science doesn't back them up. And in particular, satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years there's been zero warming, none whatsoever."

	[http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2015/03/ted-cruz-seth-myers-climate-change As ''Mother Jones'' wrote], this assertion by Cruz is a lie, as satellite data does indeed show warming in the last 17 years. And just by focusing on the satellite date, Cruz ignores a large part of climate science, as ''Mother Jones'' asserts, writing "More importantly, satellites measure temperatures in the atmosphere, high above the surface. The chart above shows the lower troposphere, about six miles above the surface. This data is an important piece of the climate and weather system, but it's only one piece. There are plenty of other signs that are far less equivocal, and perhaps even more relevant to those of us who live on the Earth's surface: Land and ocean surface temperatures are increasing, sea ice is declining, glaciers are shrinking, oceans are rising, the list goes on. In other words, the satellites-vs-computers dichotomy described by Cruz ignores most of the full picture."
