US Senator Inhofe Claims Global Warming is a UN Conspiracy

US Senator Inhofe Claims Global Warming is a UN Conspiracy

<snip>

I have transcribed the first portion of a speech made this Saturday,
at the "2006 Voter Values Summit by U.S. Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe,
alleging that Global Warming is a hoax tied to a United Nations conspiracy.

<snip>

Anyway, in 1970 the United Nations came up with something called the IPCC,
the International Plant Panel for Climate Control < ed: the correct name is [br />"The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change". The IPCC was established in
1988 ] , and they came up with one guy who said he was a scientist and they
had this thing called the hockey stick that said this is what the
temperature had been and how it's visibly related to the hockey stick,
Global Warming's coming in, and how we're all going to die. Well, that was
in 1970 and all the liberals joined in, the Hollywood crowd all joined in,
and this was the liberal agenda that they enjoyed so much.

And so - get the scene now - back, that was, the ilk, the, the idea of
this is that the, the, the climate is changing, it's going up, and it's due
not to actual causes but due to the release of CO2 and what they call
anthropogenic gasses. Man made gasses. The motive of this is to try to shut
down this machine called America, stop building, stop - y'know - driving
around and all these things and so - ah, anyway - we were just about to sign
the Kyoto treaty when I became chairman of the committee that Gil talked
about in his introduction, its called Environment and Public Works. Now, in
this committee we have jurisdiction over this, uh, all these areas, so I
thought "we need find out what the truth is about the Global Warming.


<snip>

So we have, uh, the question is quite often asked ( and I know that some
of you are thinking this right now ) if, uh, if, if, if there be an economic
disaster and that the science is wrong, then why in the world would anyone
be interested in having this done ? Well it's not just the liberals in the
United States, uh, I'd suggest to you that Margo Waldstrom who is the, uh,
the environmental minister of, of the European Union, she, uh, said Kyoto -
it's not about climate change - it's about the economy, about levelling the
playing field for big business worldwide ( ladies and gentlemen that's us,
the United States, she's talking about ). Then your favorite Frenchman
Jacques Chirac - he said Kyoto is not about, uh, climate change, it
represents the first component of an authentic ga, ga uh, global governance.

So I would say to you we've heard enough about what they - what does God
say about this whole thing ?.....

2. Inhofe and B*** seem to speak the same language.
It's not our language, but they probably understand each other.

15.  An Inconvenient Truth, is similar to Mein Kampf --he said ...also
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) recently said that people who beleive in global warming (e.g., scientists) remind him of the third reich. He’s also said that Al Gore’s book, An Inconvenient Truth, is similar to Mein Kampf.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/07/24/inhofe-third-reich/

Gay marriage
Inhofe explained his belief that gay marriage will, for reasons he never quite explained, lead to more children being born out of wedlock.
As Jon Stewart patiently explained to Bill "Jackpot" Bennett last night, the reason 50% of marriages fail is not because they end in gayness....

Abu Ghraib
Inhofe is the guy whose reaction to Abu Ghraib was to say he was "outraged by the outrage" over prisoner abuse

Iraq
Senator Inhofe from Oklahoma is quoted today saying developments in Iraq have been miraculous.

18. My response (translated into his own language) ...
"The way I sees it, uh, uh is -- if the motive of this is to try to shut
down this machine called America, stop building, stop - y'know - driving
around and all these things and so - ah, anyway - the plot, duh, is now -- whadda ya call it? -- yeah, irrevalent cause the Bush admadinastration has already, uh, uh, shut down the America machine with job losses and, uh, uh, outsourcing and borrowing too much -- uh, ya know, massive debt and all.

And then there's Bush's buddies, the oil guys, who are making the gas prices so high like, duh, no one can afford to driving around and all these things anyway.

So we have, uh, the question is quite often asked if, uh, if, if, if there be an economic disaster and that the science is wrong, then what's the dif cause Bush is roonin' the country anyway, right?

It's not about climate change - it's about the economy, about levelling the playing field for big business worldwide ( ladies and gentlemen that's us, and at this point, duh, we need all the leveling we can get on this playin' field now that the country is so, ah, ah, fuckin' screwed.)

So I would say to you we've heard enough about what they - what does God
say about this whole thing?"

Well, sir, I don't know for a FACT what God says about this whole thing, but my first guess would be: "Stop FUCKING UP my planet, you assholes!"
