What is it about science that scares these nutjobs?
Congressman Inhofe ignores facts and draws his own conclusions. A fine trait for a troglodyte... but this guy's supposed to be thinking about the nation's future and isn't even willing to peek at tomorrow.
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.
"You say something over and over and over and over again, and people will believe it, and that's their strategy."As for anyone trying to use the current heat wave to bolster the case, he said even those on the other side of the debate concede that no one should link a single weather event to climate change.
"A hot summer has nothing to do with global warming," Inhofe said. "Let's keep in mind it was just three weeks ago that people were saying, 'Wait a minute; it is unusually cool."'
He blames the media for handing over an unfair amount of air time and coverage to the side that pushes the claim that links man to climate change.
"I have asked several of them," Inhofe said: 'Name one time when an hour has been given to the other side of the issue.' "
No Jim, it's melting polar ice caps, warming of the Atlantic, affects on the currents, gradual yet irreversable impacts to the ecology (clear-cutting/burning/mining/daming)... the fact that despite an unwillingness to believe in the Butterfly Effect, everything on this little blue marble is, in fact, inter-connnected. Could someone with Congressional access give this guy a pre & post series of photos for both Patagonia and Greenland?
*sigh*... can Mother Nature smack down the unbelievers first?
