Ted Cruz’s Climate-Denial Hearing Attracts Cash From Coal King Bob Murray
April 1, 2016
AS NEGOTIATORS from around the world gathered in Paris last December to draft an agreement to slow down climate change, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was holding a hearing in Washington, D.C., to highlight the work of climate skeptics.
The hearing allowed Cruz to rail about “suppression of dissent, driven politically by global warming alarmists” and equate the widely accepted science of climate change with “partisan claims that run contrary to the science and data and evidence.”
Cruz was ridiculed in the mainstream press. NPR’s Steve Inskeep said: “If climate change were a TV show, [Cruz’s] hearing in Washington yesterday would be counterprogramming.”
But in one way, the hearing made perfect sense.
Next week, coal champion and Murray Energy CEO Bob Murray is hosting a fundraiser for Cruz. Murray didn’t go so far as to actually endorse Cruz — keeping his options open with Donald Trump — but he noted in an interview with The Hill that Cruz is the best candidate on coal. And he specifically cited the December 8 hearing as a reason for his material, if half-hearted, support.
