Inhofe, head of the Flat Earth Caucus, intones on climate change, Gitmo, etc

[MBS]

I shudder for the U.S. that this moron might presume to represent any of us in Copenhagen (or even in U.S.) , and feel keenly for Boxer and Kerry (the stalwart fighters in the Senate for the climate change bill) that they have to deal with this moron's antics.
Hard to excerpt his remarks, as each of his statements, on Copenhagen, Gitmo, etc, etc, is equally outrageous . But here's how it starts (questions , by Deborah Solomon, are in bold):

Why have you, a conservative senator from Oklahoma who has dismissed global warming as “a hoax,” announced that you plan to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference, which opens in Copenhagen on Dec. 7 and seeks to reach a new agreement on limiting carbon emissions globally?
I don’t want a group of people to tell the people of Copenhagen that the United States is going to pass some kind of a cap-and-trade bill. I want to be there, if I’m a one-man truth squad, to say: “No, that isn’t true. They don’t have the votes. We’re not going to pass it.”

It might pass eventually, but right now, it’s true that climate-change legislation is stalled in the Senate.
What’s happening right now is — since it would be very embarrassing for John Kerry and Barbara Boxer to go to Copenhagen and try to act like we’re going to pass something — I suspect that Harry Reid will give them an out and start calling votes for the time that they would otherwise be going to Copenhagen.

You can read the whole infuriating interview in today's NYT Magazine.

1. cap and trade won't solve the problem.

ending the war and using that money to build nuclear, solar, and wind will.

global warming is real. cap and trade is a scam.
