Inhofe: Climategate Reveals Faulty Science Supporting EPA Endangerment Finding

Washington, D.C.-Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today released the following YouTube video responding to EPA's finding that greenhouse gases from mobile sources endanger public health and welfare.

Throw the bums out of Congress and dismantle the EPA.

Keep up the good fight Mr. Inhofe. Many millions are behind you.

After initializing and parametrizing hundreds of unknown factors,inserting divergent proxy data and ignoring any difficult natural forcing factors,we ran hundreds of simulations until we obtained the results we wanted–an ensemble of meaningless projected results,which we then averaged. We utilized the liberally unprincipled component method to homogenize and sensitize this to produce a new hockey stick,which gave a very robust prediction (95% probability) that we are totally screwing all of you

The travesty of Global cooling continues as the Sun enters a grand minimum. Prepare for many harsh winters to come.

There needs to be mandatory passing of science tests for all Congress members. Failure means eliminating their right to vote on critical science-based issues such as climate change and relation pollution and carbon emissions regulations. Congress members must be trained to make competent and useful decisions on the most critical issue facing humanity and the community of all individuals of all species on this ONE EARTH we have to live on together. Investigate and expose corporate crimes.

@TheSlowThinker - Okay, I've looked at the results. What you need to look at is the SOURCES. In other words HOW are the temperatures arrived at; even WHERE are the temperatures taken; and then, very importantly, at those places where the temperatures were measured, have there been any "unnatural" environmental changes that would suggest a cause for increased temperatures, other than "climate change"?

[TheSlowThinker]

Is Inhofe really accusing NASA of being incapable of measuring temperature, or is he unaware of their findings?

Compare the statement "... there has been no global warming since 1998." with:

@acidgawd999 2005 was warmer than 1998, but 1999-2004 wascooler than 1998, that does not an upswing make.

Even on NASA's site shows an increase in solar activity for the past 12 yrs.

SUN FLARES

You can pick and choose between years, but on average there is a cooling trend now.

How about your scources?

[acidgawd999]

@houndman6

2005 was warmer than 1998. That is a temperature increase. The past decade was warmer than the decade that preceded it. That is a temperature increase.

If one year increase or one decade increase does not constitute an increase what would would you consider an increase?

Various independent measurements of solar activity all confirm the sun has shown a slight cooling trend since 1978.

What increased solar activity are you talking about? This is when you need to cite a source.

[houndman6]

@acidgawd999 One year does not a upswing make.

And as far as other planets, there has been a definite increase in solar activity for over a decade.

That WOULD cause temp increases.

Warming and cooling comes in cycles, we aren't going through anything new.
