Senator Inhofe Speaks on Copenhagen, Climate Legislation - November 18, 2009

[angelroma]

This guy is completely crazy, someone who will go down in history as a total enemy of the earth! Probably thinks god told him to think what he thinks. From an oil state for sure!

[dougmanjones]

Yet another plank in the GOP's anti-science platform.

Even if you don't believe in man-made climate change (and that's a big, stupid "if"), you'd think this Senator Jackoff here would realize the benefits of investing in renewable energy and infrastructure. This guy is a total tard.

[alwaysright5]

Inhofe is a beacon of light among the scumbags in the Senate. Thank you Oklahoma, you should be proud.

[dougmanjones]

Inhoffe is an embarassment.

[icsept]

@dougmanjones You're an embarrassment. His name is Inhofe.

[callouschristian]

Two major idiot problems in the United States of America.....James Inhofe and DONNYBROOK10. It's like an dying cow let a fart while it was being murdered in Oklahoma and God called it "james and Donny" may they always live in their loving incestuous union on the pages of the "Inhofe is Ridiculous" book.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Let me explain something to you murphy. The world to me, outside of the Continental United States, is one big grey area on the globe and totally irrelevent. That about covers my take on the world. CNN INTERNATIONAL is seen in your country and it is totally liberal biased. You wanted a weak dem president you could manipulate, but you did not count on a totally spineless obama who cant even get a parking ticket fixed, in HIS OWN CONGRESS? COPENHAGEN FAILED!!! MAY IT NEVER RISE AGAIN!!!!

[murphyj87]

That's the problem Americans and your "Bush doctrine" thining - neglecting the rest of the world. I bet you think that the US the "best health care system in the world" too (even though the US has always ranked at the bottom of the industrialized world) and all that ridiculous Amercians self-serving propaganda. Thos of us in the rest of the world know what a significant number of you Americans are, a bunch of uninformed blowhards who can't think their way out a wet paper bag.

[murphyj87]

We don't get CNN International. We get the same CNN network that uninformed Americans get (the one which has the Canadians John Roberts and Ali Velchi).

[murphyj87]

What happened in Copenhagen was that, of 190 nations represented there, NOT ONE would schedule a meeting with Inhofe. The only people who gave him a chance to speak was a handful of reporters. After a few sentences of of Inhofe's speech, a German reporter yelled "THAT'S RIDICULOUS, YOU'RE RIDICULOUS" Following three hours of total rejection by the world community, Inhofe left Copenhagen with egg on his face and his tail between his legs, making him look like a clown.

[Donnybrook10]

egg on his face?!! You need to stop drinking your bong water. The entire climate change agenda just died a humiliating death. True, Inhoffe was indeed a lonely man in Denmark. He was in the belly of the beast, but his reception there was irrelevant because the hoax of global warming has been effectively exposed and the "scientific consenssus" no longer have any credibility. The settled science isn't quite as settled as they claimed, eh? They are not scientists but the worst kind of liars.

[Donnybrook10]

I stand corrected...you're not a kid. You're old and you still know nothing. Wow.

[murphyj87]

Yes, I worked for 35 years for a company and have been retired for almost 4 years. I've seen many fact deniers like you come, get blown out of the water, and go

[rvndmnmt]

I am about ready to break my own rule about not mentioning the thrid reich. But I need the example so here it goes.

With a good con. The bigger the lie the easier the con is to swallow. Couple of small examples are the selling of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Eiffel Tower. On repeated occasions.

A huge one is the lies that entranced the entire nation of Germany during Hitlers reign.

The science was never settled. Debate was never allowed. And the data from East Anglia was corrupt.

[rvndmnmt]

Penguins and Polar Bears do swim. Polar Bear populations have tripled since the 1960's. The sun and the tilt of the earth do more to change the climate of this planet than the last 100 years of mans existance. Plants actually thrive in high CO2 environments because that is what they breathe.

You have been fed the bait and you bit down hard. Scientific fact has been replaced by this three ring circus and everyone is guilty. God help them all. They have no mercy from me.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Whatever my thinking, copenhagen is a complete wash, a complete failure and YOU KNOW IT... Obama has made a great speech and said absolutiely nothing. just like he does in America. You Europeans wanted a weak President you could manipulate , but you did not count on this spineless amoeba that wont take a stand on anything, I am still laughing.....

[murphyj87]

Whatever my thinking, copenhagen is a complete wash, a complete failure and YOU KNOW IT.

------------------------------­-

Saying that proves your "flat earth" thinking.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

I am a realist. Copenhagen is dead and good riddance. I hope you get this memo.

[murphyj87]

You can't be a realist when all you do is stare at your navel, listen to Faux Noise, and listen to know-nothings like these Republican politicians.

[Donnybrook10]

Murphy, even your liberal news stations are admitting this.

[murphyj87]

The geocentric solar system, flat earth, and climate change denial are three theories of equal value. Science proves all three archaic theories wrong.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

You mean the corrupt, manipulated science at east anglia??? The hacked emails prove that the scientists are total liars and we should take another thousand years and look at this problem

[murphyj87]

You mean the ten year old emails reflecting 1990's thinking. Well, you and your "flat earthers" will find out before many more years how wrong your "flat earth" thinking is.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

I mean the emails that clearly say that science was being manipulated to achieve a given, biased and activist goal of self interest to the scientists themselves. This is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, so the whole global warming fraud is a Complete Lie. I mean those emails.....

[murphyj87]

Yes, the 10 year old ones reflecting 1990's thinking. Those are the emails you're talking about. Are you that uninformed that you don't know that those emails are 10 years old?

[murphyj87]

People could find letters to "prove" that the earth is flat too. Does that make it so?

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Fox News is no.1 in American ratings, you cannot spin this. THe world can be triangle for all I care , but you aint gettting no American Tax Payer Dollars for this PROVEN joke fraud incompetent useless completely bogus science. Copenhagen is you Last best chance you say.. You Failed, Get over it...Now go away and save a polar bear.

[murphyj87]

Faux Noise is not only seen in the US. It is seen in Canada and Britain as well, but only by a handful of people. 95% of Canadians and Brits who watch US news networks watch CNN and MSNBC. Only 5% of Canadians and Brits watch Faux Noise. It makes sense that a navel gazer like you would only look at American viewership and not TOTAL (ie. WORLD) viewership.

[Donnybrook10]

it kills me when 20-somethings like you spew your opinions and so-called expertise. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING!!! You are young and clueless and still oblivious to the fact that you are ignorant. Worse, you have been monumentally manipulated by the slimiest group of crooks to ever wear a suit. When you grow up, move out of mommy and daddy's home and live in the real world for a decade, get a real job, pay taxes and support a family, then you may have an opinion.

[murphyj87]

You think I'm a "20-something"? Boy do you have thaty wrong. It shows how far out of touch you are. The 35 years that I worked before I RETIRED makes me almost 60. I know more about what's going on and I know enough people with PhD's to know that scientist are virually unanimous that climate change exists.

[murphyj87]

It was people like you who proposed that "cigarette smoking causes cancer" was a hoax in the 60's and 70's too. See where that went?

[murphyj87]

The Associated Press says: Two weeks of wrangling exposed sharp divisions between rich and poor nations — and even among major greenhouse-gas emitters like China and the United States — on how to fight global warming. Yet in the end, nearly all 193 nations at the UN climate conference agreed to a deal brokered by President Barack Obama that points toward deeper emissions cuts for rich nations, but without mandatory limits.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

STONE HIM? You global tree hugger freaks are uncouth freaks and rabble. This senator is one of a hundred of can vote on this fake treaty, that you foreigner idiots cannot even come to a conclusion on. Not one American dime is going to this fraud. COpenhagen is a failure and the email prove the scientists are nothing but charlatans.

[murphyj87]

You're quite happy in your uninformed, uneducated, and factless little world aren't you? Thinking people disagree with you.

[murphyj87]

Because you're uninformed that you didn't see the demonstrators stoning climate change deniers and those moving too slowly on climate change all this week?

[murphyj87]

You mean the ten year old emails that reflect 1990's thinking?

[murphyj87]

It's a shame you're stuck in the 20th century and can't move your thinking into the 21st century.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

If you Europeans and the rest of you STUPID Foreigners want to fund this FRAUD, then by all means, you have my permission. I am only concerned that no American Money, not one cent, pay for this Obvious total crock of bullshit called global warming. Clinton tried this crap with kyoto and it wont work this time either.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

You morons had two years to figure out this fake treaty and YOU CANT EVEN GET THAT RIGHT..... This is the last best chance, its over and you tree hugger nut jobs lost. GET OVER IT. God bless the GOP.

[murphyj87]

30,000 demonstrators versus one misguided Republican mental midget suggests not a very good outcome for the dumb senator.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Why cant you demonstrators act Normal? We Americans would never act that way. Copenhagen needs to fail and go down as the largest clown show of the century

[murphyj87]

In those times people like you would find letters "proving" the sun revolved around the earth to "prove" your belief in that. People like you would find letters "proving" the earth was flat to "prove" your belief that too.

[Donnybrook10]

30,000 PAID demonstrators? In the hot-bed of liberalism? You couldn't put together 30,000 demonstrators here in the US...Yet, several hundred thousands managed to march on Washington to oppose this agenda with only 10 days notice...ON A THURSDAY. Face it, you sound like a flunky piss-poor public defender trying to make lame arguments to defend an obviously guilty client. Your "uneducated" accusation is just typical lib tactics. US Conservatives typically have more education than libs.

[murphyj87]

That's the problem right there... being an uninformed AMERICAN. I know thow uniformed and uneducated Americans are. I have relatives there, and they're really ubninformed and backweard compared to those of us in other nations.

[murphyj87]

You'd rather put American money on wars and occupation of sovereign nations. That shows how distorted American thinking is.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Actually your savior Obama, is putting all the money on these wars, the wars he PROMISED TO END IMMEDIATELY ON ENTERING OFFICE. I would like to end both wars right now, but our great leader has no Balls and NO SPINE to end either. CNN is completely ANTI-AMERICAN and hates my country. No wonder the world likes it. I listen to Fox news and the GOP party. FACE IS SMURFY, YOU LOST... YOU TREE HUGGERS GOT SCREWED AND I AM STILL LAUGHING......

[murphyj87]

Police in Copenhagen in Denmark say nearly 1,000 protesters were detained after a huge climate change rally.

The move came after youths threw bricks and smashed windows as more than 30,000 demonstrators marched to demand action at the UN climate change summit.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Those unwashed European Rabble should leave the poor police alone and act like citizens instead of tree hugging uncivilized animals.

[murphyj87]

Historically, people like you "knew" the sun revolved around the earth and "knew" the earth was flat too. Your position is exactly like their thinking.

[Rickardio54321]

Inhofe should lead a movement to jail Al Gore and have Tipper stripped of the couples riches (just like Madoff's wife was).

[murphyj87]

Where did you get your Phd in science to deny the fact of climate change that every knowledgable scientist know is actually happening? You are quite happy to be uneducated, uninformed, willing to believe any nitwit climate denier aren't you?

[Rickardio54321]

@murphyj87

Not that it's relevant, but I actually have 3 graduate degrees. What's more relevant: I have spent a considerable amount of time studying global warming. The issue is complicated, but one thing is clear: Gore is a fraud.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

I have 4 graduate degrees in Advanced Bullshit Detection and I can tell you from my years of schooling that global warming is a total fraud and NO American money is going to be spent on it.

[dougmanjones]

Inhofe is a national embarassment.

[Donnybrook10]

to whom? You morons haven't read the polls lately have you. Your agenda is on its last legs and Pelosi already concedes that the republicans will win midterm. It is you pinko, commie, liberal, Marxist mutants that are the embarrassment to thsi country. You always have been and always will be. You're all just the bitter adult version of the outcast weaklings who never fit in on the playground. You're all a bunch of bitches.

[murphyj87]

Considerring that less than 20% of Americans call themselves Republicans, I'm not sure of that. What hahappened the election in the NY 23rd Congressional district, that Republicans and Conservtives killing each other will get more Democrats elected than before.

[murphyj87]

It will be interesting to see this bunch of Republican liars leave Copenhagen with egg on thier face after they are laughed out of the city by politicians of other nations & with PHD's in the sciences. Anyone who denies climate change is living in the 19th Century & totally uneducated & uninformed. Those who are serious scientists are unanimous that climate change exists. These Republican clowns will be laughed out of Copenhagen by scientists & international politicians, as they deserve to be.

[DIOSpeedDemon]

Inhofe is going to Copenhagen which will be a Failure and set the world straight on no money for this fraud. just wait and watch

[murphyj87]

He went yesterday, stayed for a couple of hours and was made fun of so much by scientists who know what they're talking about that he left immediately. BTW he was suppose to bring a three person "truth squad" to help him spread his lies, but they dumped him (because protesters were going to stone them) and he had to go alone.

[murphyj87]

You mean they set him straight, which is why he ran away back to the US.

[expatdk]

Once again Republicans appeal to uneducated right wing people who don't believe neither on the human effect on global warming nor on evolution... there is no sovereignty case when what you pollute goes around the world, the same is true for water basins shared by several countries. We have to hope for a binding treaty!

[rvndmnmt]

I would like to see the evidence that we are even having an effect on global temperature at all. Sorry but climategate puts much of what is to be had from the proponents of global warming to question. It didn't help matters that they "deleted" most of what they did have.

As you pointed out. There are several environmental issues out there that do need to be addressed. Pollution of the oceans and over fishing. The rapid deforestation of the rainforests. Desertfication. Just to name a few.

[rvndmnmt]

But this treaty? All it is is a scam from start to finish. A power grab from people who neither care for the planet nor its occupants. A money making scheme for Blood and Gore (Wish that was a joke but that is the last name of his partner). And if it does go down in flames it can hurt the environmental movement for a long time. If it doesn't? Dunno. My plan is to head out to the hills with a lawn chair and a case of beer, sit back and watch the fireworks. Nothing good can come from this.

[rvndmnmt]

Might as well say that for the record the polar bears are doing good according to the last census. And that they are, in fact, very good swimmers. At least that is what the Encyclopedia Brittanica tells me.

[uzijohn]

@expatdk

Perhaps you don't read the newspaper?

Or listen to the radio?

Or watch the news?

Don't worry I'll help you catch up

Youre correct, Republicans said they're wasn't solid evidence of man made global warming

This month extremist Democrats and their minions were exposed lying to the public and falsifying global warming data, ask an uneducated idiot who reads and theyll tell you about it

It seems "The Educated" can be taught facts & figures, but not common sense

[callouschristian]

The release of harmful gasses on this page alone is argument enough to A)Deal with Climate Change and B) Kill the Republican Party. Bye Bye.

[rvndmnmt]

Infantile and petty.

Judging from your statements I take it your liberal, Democrat, or a combination of both. And I am the evil dumb conservative. Come on. I am ignorant trailer park trash. You should be running circles around me.

Where

Am

I

Wrong

?

[callouschristian]

The only thing more embarrassing than Inhofe (farting sound of a defective whoopy cushion) are the idiots that would vote for him. You can be for America or you can be republican. Repubicans are terrorists.

[bcfbasil]

The Senator lacks fire and passion in his presentation! Ive read the IPCC reports. It is not proven scientifically that man is causing global warming. Ten years ago the models predicted global warming would result in noticeably higher temperatures today, but it didnt happen. People who buy into this nonsense and think theyre saving the world by driving a Prius are tools who are helping to make Al Gore a wealthy man! Wake up people, this whole thing is about money and control and power.

[callouschristian]

Who cares if man is "the cause" or not. We have the ability to curb if not stop it. How evil, lazy and stupid can inhofe and his dark age followers be to turn their back on this holocaust of God's Earth. Republicans are terrorists that must be stopped by any means necessary. This video of this shit of a man proves it.

[bcfbasil]

You are a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance buddy! If you want to drink Al Gore's Kool Aid, then by all means do so! And for the record, you asshat, I served my country for 24 years to defend the rights of F*ing idiots like you - enjoy wallowing in your pathetic ignorance.

[callouschristian]

You have betrayed your country by backing ignorance that the republican party has spewed in contempt at the world and Real Americans.

[bcfbasil]

Screw you and the horse you rode in on, you Kool-aid drinking piece of human debris!

[raseclarbac]

the stupid arrogance of ignorance knolegement of the global warming is stunning. this idiot must go live to Maldives or Bangladesh to watch , in direct, the stupidity of his comments.

please, somebody shut up this ignorants

[kenzboard]

It's actually a war on dogma and consensus on whether or not global warming is all from human cause and if global warming is dangerous and if its cap and trade proposal will stop temperatures from rising anyway and spending mad money that should really be put to more imminent, genuine concerns unrelated to climatology. Plain and simply, humans will adapt to changing climate, regardless if it's cooling or warming. The climate is beyond our control and there is nothing you can do about it.

[terraalert]

The Republican war on science continues... what a joke.

[rvndmnmt]

Last time I checked there were about 1000 scientists against the theories espoused by Gore for every scientist supporting Gore.

And even if we had a significant impact on the global climate through our CO2 emissions how is cap and trade going to do a thing towards solving the problem? About the only thing I see that disaster bringing about is knocking me down even further below the poverty line, assuming this health bill passes. And right now I am not to far from that as is.

[callouschristian]

Last I checked, you are absolutely full of shit. But don't worry....if you're stupid enough to back an alcoholic like inhofe, you're in good stupid company.

[rvndmnmt]

And if your Christian than I am Mickey Mouse. I personally know more Atheists that have a better grasp of Christianity than you (judging from what I am reading here).

And the last time I checked the problems this country is facing now not only stems from both parties. But from the citizens itself. We are all pawns in the game of politics. At least I am a little more aware of it, though powerless to do anything about it short of cover my own rear.

[rvndmnmt]

What am I full of shit about? Al Gore being a charlatan or the cap and trade/health care duo driving me back below the poverty line. I make 28k a year and bring home 22k. I make to much for assistance and not enough to foot the bill.

I am man enough to admit where I was wrong. It was 100 to 1 and not 1000 to 1 against Gore and his merry band of scientists.

h t t p:/ / w w w . youtube . com / watch ? v = FfHW7KR33IQ

[callouschristian]

You make way too much for your own good if you support an idiot like Inhofe. Climate Change is killing millions because of your actions so I really don't want to hear a con whining about their personal problems. You make your bed, suffer in it.

[rvndmnmt]

The climate has been changing since the creation of this dustball called Earth. Long before the creation of the automobile and coal fired plants. The only constant that is guaranteed is change itself. The theory of plate tectonics and past dramatic changes in the earths climate, which by the way was triggered in large part by solar influences, ensures that.

[rvndmnmt]

I can guarantee that what I use in a year is a small fraction of what that charlatan Gore uses in a month. And I do honest work for honest pay thank you.

I would love to see the evidence you have to prove that climate change is either influenced by humans or even if its killing anyone at all. And while you are at it. You still haven't pointed out where I might be wrong. Come on. Debate. Change the mind of this infidel. Use your head and not your heart for once.

[rvndmnmt]

Meh. One more thing. Considering the fact that you live in the US and are using a computer. I am going to have to say that you live a similar lifestyle.

My bed is your bed to. Like it or not we the people either stand together or hang together. Just because one man says the sky is falling doesn't necessarily make it so. And agreeing with the devil isn't going to make you immune to the consequences.

[rvndmnmt]

I'm done with this now. Unless you can counter with something constructive and concrete to debate.

[Donnybrook10]

when has any liberal prgram ever been anything other than a ponzi scheme? The Great Society, the War on Poverty, Global Warming, Global Cooling, Killer Bees, H1N1...

[snaed27]

no the joke is Al Gore ripping you off ...while stuffing his mattress with money......

[callouschristian]

The joke is the republcan party. They are terrorists and the fact alone that they would subject thinking people to a man like inhofe (or bush, or cheney, or boehner, or rove) is cause enough to make sure they never recover from the flush down the toilet they've taken this past year.

[Donnybrook10]

you're a moron. Now that is a scientific consenssus.

[SeekerNLife]

Thanks for fighting this, Senator Inhofe.

You make us proud!

[wildflowersandi]

Boy you sure are lucky Seeker! I like this guy--I've listened to him sev times.

Man! remember the days when your vote really counted! ???

[SeekerNLife]

Thanks, Deb.

Yeah, we're lucky to have Jim Inhofe.

He's a tireless fighter for our Constitution, and our rights and freedoms.

[Donnybrook10]

Yeah, there's that Constitution thing that keeps causing liberals problems. It's ALWAYS the liberals who are attacking the Constitution. It was them for whom the COnstitution was written to keep in check. I propose a new holiday...International Smack a Liberal Day!!!

[murphyj87]

I really don't care about your archaic Constitution. I think you should scrap your out-of-date Constitution and replace it with a modern documant. That might being the US principals into the 21st century.

[fmackz]

Good job. Well done. Climate change due to man is PURE HOLLYWOOD.

[Tennex01]

My Hero

[WulfBand]

Excellent work Senator.
