Bill Nye the Science Guy v. Ted Cruz the Human Ooze
Comments
A gaggle of oil industry lackeys calling themselves the Competitive Enterprise Institute in May 2006 produced ads that ended with the line “We’d encourage our own parents to eat uranium if the uranium industry tossed a few moolahs our way CO2: they call it pollution, we call it Life!” (And yes the CEI did have ties to the tobacco industry at the time, why do you ask?)
At any rate, if you enjoyed laughing at those commercials, you will be delighted to know that Ted “Soup Dragon” Cruz has issued a 10th anniversary remix.
Dems kill jobs, ignore facts. CO2 is what every human breathes out; every plant, in turn,consumes CO2. #ScienceFacts https://t.co/0eESF2Oz08

BREAKING: water is essential to life, so drowning is impossible. Search on for Leonardo DiCaprio in N Atlantic. https://t.co/fqSHkFXWHv

My initial reaction was similar to Hilzoy’s, but as it ran along scatological lines I’ll spare everyone.
