While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.
Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters.
“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”

I knew it was our fault somehow. Thanks for politicizing a tragedy while people are still missing, scumbag.
His huffy little lecturette will make him the talk of the lib cocktail circuit for at least 15 minutes.
It must have been Climate Change in 1938 when that Tornado took Dorothy to Oz.
One picture says it all. An obvious denier of the laws of GOD and the design of His creation. My other opinion isn’t fit for posting.
I thought the same thing...THE Look ya know..
I lived in R. Island...it’s bad there...the arrogance is equally spread throughout New England. Couldn’t stand the mindset there.
Global warming? Hasn’t been warm in NYC the last 2 weeks. I want my global warming.
Yet another illustrious comment from the Democrat brain trust.
This boy has smoked way too much political crack. Desperately needs rehab and complete dissociation from the Democrat party.
Why is it whenever there is a weather event (like this year’s coldest spring on record) we are immediately and huffily told by liberals “THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER AND CLIMATE!”
But whenever there is a storm anywhere in the world, the same liberals instantly identify Global Warming as the cause. Suddenly there’s no more difference between weather and climate.
I’ll warm his global. Seriously, what a contemptible, despicable human being
We need a good divorce lawyer, so we won’t be “in it together” with pond scum like this.
A-holes like that have no soul..its that simple..if they had one they wouldn’t be so giddy to start trashing people right after an unspeakable tragedy
The modern democratic party is full of scumbags & psychotics.
Weather is weather and climate is climate, nothing to get stupid or angry over.
Not correct. Steve Goddard started that story and he's wrong. Here's the most accurate temperature trace (from satellite): http://www.ssmi.com/msu/msu_time_series.html Just click on Continental US
And this bottom feeder will get praised by the left for being such an asshole. “In a blunt yet powerful speech,....”
THANK-YOU in shout-out for posting this instead of me! I would have done a rant about this politico ranting at a time when what is NEEDED for these folks is PRAYER, not RANTING.
I had seen for a very brief time before having to turn the tv off, the wide area of devestation after the tornado hit Moore, OK. It was just too much to see, and in a special way, in the area of one of the schools. Heartbreaking.

- Boycott Rhode Island and the crooked Whitey Bolger/FBI bunch there
Spend your money (online if possible) in Oklahoma where the strong honest citizens help each other and don’t demand an instant permanent Pigford reparations/redistribution scam like the New Orleans baracks have done
- My liberal sister surprised me years ago when she said New Orleans should be abandoned and turned back into a swamp - building below seal level takes intelligent humans like the Dutch; not sub-human 3rd world cokeheads who have “worked the system” for generations
- Expect Barry Hussein Shiite-Obama Junior to be on TV today faking sympathy for the God fearing gun toting people of Oklahoma
Opansy looks on this as a welcome diversion from Benghazi, IRS-TEA Party, and FBI-UP & FOX
Do not be mislead or diverted - you are already on Opansy’s lists at the DOJ, IRS, FBI, HLS, EPA, and many more now NAZI federal departments
Erika Holdum is watching you and yours
- Be strong
Jesus did not say you should become mats or rugs for Bathhouse Barry’s Muslim cult
He told you to sell your robe and buy a good sharp sword
Peter sliced the ear off of one who threated Jesus
The 2nd Ammendment existed in spirit then and now
