Jim Inhofe slams Al Gore on climate 'hoax'

By MEREDITH SHINER | 3/15/10 5:05 PM EDT

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) attacked former Vice President Al Gore on the Senate floor Monday, calling climate change "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" and claiming that Gore is now "running for cover."

The “hoax” line is an Inhofe standby, but he raised the level of attack on Monday.

In front of the backdrop of a blown up Weekly Standard cover featuring Gore, Inhofe railed on the former vice president.

"After weeks of the global warming scandal, the world's first climate billionaire is running for cover. Yes, I'm talking about Al Gore," Inhofe charged. "He's under siege these days. The credibility of the IPCC is eroding. The EPA's endangerment finding is collapsing. And belief that global warming is leading to catastrophe is evaporating. Gore seems to be drowning in a sea of his own global warming illusions nevertheless. He's desperately trying to keep global warming alarmism alive today."

Inhofe also floated a political conspiracy theory focused on Gore.

Pour it on. Ridicule is the necessary antidote to hubris.

Why must we actually have to experience it to prove that these people are wrong.

Whatever happened to common sense in people?

Senator Inhofe has consistently been in the forefront in exposing the global warming fraud. He has been attacked and ridiculed, but he has stood up for the American people when Gore and the UN alarmists were getting Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes. The MSM and the Democrats have told lie after lie about him but he has stood strong and has never wavered in his position. He deserves recognition and praise for his courage and insight.

Yes and Al Gore and a raft of his climate hoaxers need to do serious jail time for fraud on a global scale.

You’re absolutely correct...Gore and his minions need to do some serious jail time. They are no different than Madoff, except they acted under the cover of government. Actually, they are probably worse.

Not another taxpayer dime should go to the global warming or climate change hoax.
