Jim Inhofe is a small-plane-flying, global-warming-denying senator. And now he’s got a gavel
Washington Post ^ | 1/08/15 | Ben Terris

At the end of last year, with most of his colleagues stuck in Washington for an important Senate session on a Saturday, Sen. James M. Inhofe was in Tulsa getting spurs fastened onto a pair of boots.

“They’re ostrich,” said Inhofe (R-Okla.), the country’s most prominent climate-change denier, referring to his footwear. “Probably some endangered species; I have a reputation to maintain.”

Inhofe could have been wearing Birkenstocks and it wouldn’t have put a dent in his notoriety. The senator cemented his status as public enemy No. 1 for environmentalists long ago, topping it off with his 2012 book on climate change, “The Greatest Hoax.” This year he takes over the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee — the panel most associated with climate policy oversight — and says he plans to continue his role as a “one-man truth squad” on the issue.

Don’t Gore and Michael Moore have more than one mansion each?

My brief google search didn’t answer your great question per Al Gore, BUT:

Michale Moore’s recent divorce revealed that he has SEVEN homes —he blamed his wife for this excess (his mansion at Torch Lake turned out as just the best known).

prominent climate-change denier ?

C’mon, he is a prominent Global warming denier, we all know the climate changes 4 times a year except around the Equator.

When Global warming could no longer be support, the EPA and Warming freaks decided upon a name change.

How about that Solar Minimum that is still going on ?

You self-righteous clueless twit.

My brand of Conservatism allows for disagreement between allies and we debate the differences. Disagreement does not make the other guy a 'self-righteous clueless twit.'

Ad hominem attacks are a tactic of the left encouraged by Alinski, not of principaled conservatives. In my experience, people who engage in ad hominem tend to be self-righteous clueless twits who can't defend their own arguments. ;~))

He seems to be saying that the climate is not changing in the manner feared by the AGW crowd. If there is more, please point it out.

If I had any concerns with Inhofe it is generic ones with the Washington crowd. Is there too much ego in his yeehaw to sidestep obvious errors. His ostrich boots really don’t count. They farm those birds in Texas.

It even changes a little at the equator (and at the poles), just less than elsewhere on the surface of the globe.

Be nice boys, be nice.

I suspect you actually agree here. If there are politicians we still like, we might be well to do what it takes to see that their effectiveness is maximized. Maybe that means putting up with a certain amount of life-challenged weight.

Ah, being an illustrious socialist preacher excuses you from the rigors of actually having to live it out. That is for the little folks.

In principle I agree with you. But let's not overlook the fact that this self-righteous clueless twit began his tirade with an ad hominem assault on people (like me), to wit:

fake conservative leftists Spewing their propaganda here.

Anyone who looks at my posting history since 1998 would know instantly that I am not a "fake conservative leftist."

So this self-righteous clueless twit can go pound sand. Those that want respect, give respect.

And we who believe in liberty, free markets, limited government and Constitional law do not consider those who vote for RINOs -- at this late stage in our formerly great nation's life -- to be allies.

And please don't insult my intelligence by voting for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell et al and then tell me you're my ally.

No, we don't. I have no agreements with anyone who pretends to be a conservative and then calls those who believe what I believe by calling me a "fake conservative leftists Spewing their propaganda" because I no longer support leftist-enabling, conservative-bashing RINOs.

And suppose by magic one managed to make the Republican party be replaced by, say, the Kangaroo party.

Wouldn’t we very shortly be complaining about the KINOs?

Until the problem is refactored around God and not the world the problem will remain, fester, and worsen.

But I’d concede that if you have descended to this unreadable level of illogic, then you have agreed with nothing. I am not even sure you have disagreed with anything. You have just given us a word salad.
