Think Progress Falsely Claims Global Warming Melted Street Lights in Oklahoma

So eager are the shills at the George Soros-funded far-left website Think Progress to find evidence of global warming that on Thursday they falsely blamed melting street lights in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on the heat.

As originally reported by TP's Stephen Lacey:

… Even as residents swelter in the relentless heat, Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe continued his tirade about man-made global warming during a Senate hearing yesterday, saying the science had “collapsed.”

It appears the only thing collapsing are the street lights.

Way down at the bottom is this:
UPDATE: After we published this piece, we saw reports from people on the ground in Stillwater that the melting streetlights were due to a nearby fire. …
They are some fine journalists at that Soros-funded propaganda outlet, aren't they? …

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

I don’t know what’s scarier: that TP would think anyone would believe that horsecrap, or the fact that some people probably did believe it.

I’ve been waiting for the Canadian government to blame global warming for the problems with their new plastic currency.
If you leave one of their new plastic bills in a hot car it will melt.
What moron changes from rag-paper money to plastic and doesn’t check whether the plastic will survive in an environment that is reasonable to expect, i.e., hot cars?
