Cruz did not back down, instead using the microphone to question the activists about their knowledge of basic climate and energy facts, grainy footage of the incident posted to social media shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHold on, hold on, which country is the biggest climate polluter on planet Earth?\u201d Cruz asked the protesters. \u201cYou have no idea.
