Original Note:
There is no evidence that Ted Cruz tweeted this and it is very likely a falsified image. A search on WebArchive from Sept 9, 2016 does not show the tweet: https://web.archive.org/web/20160909115522/twitter.com/tedcruz Neither does a search of Ted Cruz's Twitter account: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-fake-tweet-ted-cruz/fact-check-ill-believe-in-climate-change-when-texas-freezes-over-ted-cruz-tweet-appears-to-be-fabricated-idUSKBN2AJ2HH
