The King of the Flat-Earthers: Global Warming believers = Third Reich

Sen. Inhofe Compares People Who Believe In Global Warming To ‘The Third Reich’

Sen. James Inhofe Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is the nation’s most prominent global warming denier. He famously declared that global warming is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” Now, he’s taken the argument a step further. In an interview with Tulsa World, Inhofe compared people who believed global warming was a problem to Nazis:

In an interview, he heaped criticism on what he saw as the strategy used by those on the other side of the debate and offered a historical comparison.

“It kind of reminds . . . I could use the Third Reich, the big lie,” Inhofe said.

“The big lie,” is a propaganda technique Adolf Hitler attributed to Jews in his book Mein Kampf. It involves telling lies “so colossal” that no one would believe “others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.”

Inhofe added that every claim in An Inconvenient Truth “has been refuted scientifically.” He also admitted he’d never seen the movie.

Glaciers Past and Present
The glaciers in Glacier National Park today are all geologically new having formed in the last few thousand years. Presently, all the glaciers in the park are shrinking. More snow melts each summer than accumulates each winter. As the climate changed over the last two million years, glaciers formed and melted away several times. What will happen to today's glaciers if the climate becomes colder, wetter, or warmer?

Stick THAT on a Postcard and mail to the idiot, who BTW, is the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Typical of this RW insanity.

On Edit: Of course, if we mailed that to him, they'd take notice of the site and change the content to reflect party views, not science. :grr: Once more to the Memory Hole.

7. Hitler and the Double Standard
it's okay for Republians to compare their political opponents to Nazis, but not okay for Democrats to do the same.
