Doubting Inhofe
           

Published: October 12, 2006

In a recent speech in the Senate, James Inhofe of Oklahoma called himself "the senator who has spent more time educating about the actual facts about global warming." Too bad he is not the senator who has spent more time educating himself.

His speech, one in a series on global warming, was a brisk survey of the way the news media have covered climatic predictions over the past century. Cooling, warming — we never get it right. Naturally, Mr. Inhofe dismisses what he calls media "hysteria," which is also a way of dismissing not just Al Gore but the consensus among mainstream scientists and the governments of nearly every industrialized nation concerning manmade climate change.

Mr. Inhofe is particularly hard on James Hansen, whom he calls a "NASA scientist and alarmist." Mr. Hansen is a timely target, since he is co-author of a new climatological report in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report concludes that because of rapid warming in the past 30 years, the earth is approaching and will soon surpass the warmest temperatures in the past 12,000 years — since the end of the last ice age, in other words. And, as the study notes, recent warming "has brought global temperature to a level within about one degree Celsius of the maximum temperature of the past million years." The shift in temperature isn't uniform. Higher latitudes are warming faster, as are the Indian and western Pacific Oceans.

We do not expect Mr. Inhofe to see the light — or feel the heat — any time soon. He and his staff are serious collectors of opposition research. But the essence of his strategy is to seize upon a mistaken or overblown story to try to undermine the broad consensus. If that fails, he can always question his opponents' politics and motives, as with his insinuations that environmentalists dreamed the whole thing up to scare people and raise money.

Mr. Inhofe has buttressed himself with a small jury of scientists who argue that climate change is only natural. But he has really buttressed himself with the will to disbelieve. He accuses scientists and the media of hysteria. But if there is such a thing as a hysteria of doubt, then Mr. Inhofe is its master.

What's tragic is how little Inhofe has accomplished for OK after 18 years in the House and Senate, and particularly in his role as the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee.  Has there been a past Oklahoma senator in such a high ranking position who did any less for his home state?

3. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)
Inhofe is best known for his categorical claim that global warming is "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people"—a rhetorical flourish he recently refined by likening climate change theories to Nazi propaganda. And here's the scary part: Those are the sentiments of our chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. It's a bit like making Lyndon LaRouche the American Ambassador to England.

But that's not the half of it. As far back as 1972, he called for Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern to be "hanged with Jane Fonda" for referring to alleged atrocities committed by American troops in Vietnam. In 2001, he took to the Senate floor to announce that Israel was justified in whatever treatment it handed out to Palestinians because, after all, God had promised the Jews the land they occupied. For good measure, he also called Palestinian terror bombers practitioners of "satanic evil," and intimated to the New Republic that both Bill and Hillary Clinton were out to assassinate him.

And then there was the recent debate over the latest constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, when Inhofe assured Senate colleagues of his own virility and that of his manly forbearers. "My wife and I have been married 47 years. We have 20 kids and grandkids. I'm really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we've never had a divorce or a homosexual relationship." It's the same flawless gene pool that produced a man who thinks our situation in Iraq is "nothing short of a miracle."

U.K. report: Warming will damage economy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061030/ap_on_sc/britain_global_warming

"Raising the stakes in the global warming dispute with the United States and China, Britain issued a sweeping report Monday warning that the Earth faces a calamity on the scale of the world wars and the Great Depression unless urgent action is taken."

That's one possibility. The other is that you listen to the scientists instead of the right wing talking heads. Personally, I kinda feel like the scientists might know more about this than Rush Limbaugh. But I do understand that a lot of people find it easier for politicians and political inciters (and yes, I spelled that correctly) to do their thinking for them than for them to think for themselves.

If you're suggesting that we have no way of knowing what conditions were prior to the invention of the thermometer then either your first statement is right or you know less about science and technology than just about any person on the planet. Either way that puts YOU "way out of touch with reality".

But that's what happens when you rely on Rush Limbaugh for your scientific information.

What question? When was the thermometer invented? You gotta be joking. Tell me how the question is relevant and I might take a shot at answering it. I'm not into playing games. I'm also not impressed with cryptic comments that are supposed to sound mysterious. Ya got something to say, say it. I prefer honest arguments out in the open but I smell bait.

It's a very simple question.....
