Inhofe Speaks on Senate Floor About Renewed Talk of Global Warming
Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:09:26 CDT
Senator Jim Inhofe took to the Senate floor to offer some comments on global warming.
He said he would "provide some sense and balance and accuracy which is clearly lacking in the mainstream media's attempt to drum up global warming hysteria again."
He reminded his audience that "Cap and Trade went by the wayside because the American people realized it was a tax and had no benefits."
He said members of the Obama administration have been predictably trying to tie recent wildfires in Colorado to global warming. He said when winter comes and the weather turns cold, activists will begin to use a different terminology: climate change.
Inhofe used the opportunity to explain how his daughter's family has come to be called "the worst family in the world" by some of his critics. He said their outspokenness against global warming and mocking the concept by building an igloo near the library of Congress earned them that title.
Inhofe defined the split between those who believe in global warming and those who don't as being a battle between the "alarmists" and the "skeptics."
"Those people who think the world is coming to an end because catastrophic global warming is coming and it's all due to manmade gasses so we need to shut down America-those are alarmists. The skeptics are me. The ones who look at it and say 'Wait a minute. That science was cooked up by the United Nations for an ulterior motive.'
"Dana Milbank, who's been very much on the other side of this issue, warned the alarmists to stop using weather to justify global warming because then what do they do when the weather doesn't cooperate with their predictions?"
Inhofe said global warming is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.
He told of a recent photo opportunity he heard about where the alarmists intended to carve the word "Hoax?" in a block of ice and set it out in the sun as a back drop for camera crews to use in stories about global warming. Inhofe said the severe storms in the D.C. area put an end to the photo op.
