Sen. Inhofe Slams Gore and Climate Alarmism in Historic Two Hour Speech By Noel Sheppard Created 2007-10-26 17:14
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, delivered a startling and historic two hour speech on the Senate floor Friday about "recent developments which are turning 2007 into a ‘tipping point' for climate alarmism."
The Senator cautioned that bills being proposed by various members of Congress "come at a time when the science is overwhelmingly taking away the basis for alarm." These "so-called ‘solutions' to global warming...will have no measurable impact on the climate," and "will create huge economic harm for American families and the poor residents of the developing world who may see development hindered by unfounded climate fears."
In addition, Inhofe went right after the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore, as well as others in the media responsible for inciting all this hysteria (partial video of the speech available here [1]):
We are currently witnessing an international awakening of scientists who are speaking out in opposition to former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, the Hollywood elitists and the media-driven "consensus" on man-made global warming.
We have witnessed Antarctic ice GROW to record levels since satellite monitoring began in the 1970's. We have witnessed NASA temperature data errors that have made 1934 -- not 1998 -- the hottest year on record in the U.S. We have seen global averages temperatures flat line since 1998 and the Southern Hemisphere cool in recent years.
These new developments in just the last six months are but a sample of the new information coming out that continues to debunk climate alarm.
After this introduction, Inhofe spoke about:
* Hollywoodans like Leonardo DiCaprio and Laurie David targeting children with climate fears * Four essential points which totally debunk global warming hysteria * Various entities that are distorting the facts and ignoring the climate history of Greenland * Antarctic ice rising to its highest level since records have been kept * The southern hemisphere is already experiencing a cooling from its 1998 peaks * The weather measurement scandal at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies * Climate fears are largely being driven by unproven computer models * Al Gore's refusal to accept wagers or engage in debates concerning his theories * Hysteria over polar bear extinction has absolutely no observable validity * The number of former warm-mongers that have become skeptics * Science not being determined by consensus * Politics governing the UN's IPCC * $50 Billion having been spent internationally on spreading global warming fears * Skeptics being labeled as traitors * Hundreds of skeptical scientists to be heard from in upcoming Senate report * Carbon mandates don't reduce temperatures
The Senator passionately concluded:
In conclusion, I would simply point out that climate alarmism has become a cottage industry in this country and many others, but a growing number of scientists and the general public are coming around to the idea that climate change is natural and that there is no reason for alarm. It is time to stop pretending that the world around us is headed for certain doom and that Kyoto-style policies will save us - when in fact, the biggest danger lies in these policies themselves. As I have noted, new studies continue to pile up debunking alarm and debunking the very foundation for so called "solutions" to warming.
I know this was a long, long speech, but I just want the real people, not the money driven liberals and the Hollywood elitists, but the real people who are out there raising their families and working hard to know that help is on its way and that all the UN and media driven hype to sell American down the river will fail.
And that truth, as Winston Churchill said, "is incontrovertible, ignorance can deride it, panic may resent it, malice may destroy it, but there it is."
Bravo, Senator! Bravo!
I watched this speech. It was excellent.
We ned to start SHOUTING the truth from the rooftops, because the size and scope of the Propoganda Campaign for 2008 is starting, and it will BREATHTAKING in scope...
The Great Globo Warmin’ Scam is just a part of it...
Tonite, Center for American Progress ran it’s new “Con/Progressive” lie ad TWICE during my local newscast.
Holy crap, is that a Senate republican showing some spine? Wow. We might not be done after all.
Thank you for that report! Senator Inhofe is the BEST! Thank God for him in our Senate.
Global Warming Alarmists are much more dangerous to this country right now than the Jihadists - because they are HERE, NOW, in places of power and influence, in a united push to destroy our nation by passing laws that make this absurd mantra of “global warming” as much as part of our legal system as laws re: murder, burglary, etc.
If we who know the truth don’t unite and fight with all we have, these power crazed destroyers WILL bring this idiocy into law and WILL end up destroying our economy hurting untold millions in the process.

We need to thank this man, and “others” who take them on every day, because the media centered world will keep their words quiet.
I would say Hunter/Inhofe 08, but we need him in the Senate!!
Liberal Dimocraps are really angry with President Bush because he robbed than of their greatest opportunity to create a poor, victimized, dependent mass of US citizens ripe for their picking. President Bush’s tax cuts, booming economy, low unemployment, increased wealth and victories on the WOT have not served Dimocraps well and completely turned over their applecart. Now, global warming is being stood on its ear for the fraud that it is as more science about the non-existent man made disaster.
All that planning, lying and pandering down the drai. It’s enough to make liberals become unhinged - which they are.
they are scaring the bejeebers out of them - with the express purpose of indoctrination to the Socialist agenda - future voters...
watch this , if you haven't - John Stossel interview with school kids. We need to start demanding a end to this...

Sure, I beleive it!
And we need to see they stay that way
You got that right..They want to make this global warming a big issue so they can raise taxes, supposedly to fight global warming, but really to fund their wild spending policies if they ever get back in power...what evil people !
It's been shown in England and it looks like it will finally be shown, after much hassle, on Discovery in Canada,,,but here - well,let me copy/paste the email as the links to the film and their web site are there.
The film is a powerful rebuttal to the Gore gang...it takes a long time to down load, but crucial for us to get it around and to demand Discovery show it. Maybe Sen. Inhofe has broken the ice no one dared step on - and will give Discovery the guts to show it IF WE FREEP them
(I let the film download in the background - is takes time.)
email from Tim Ball, with links:
"Hi Marion: Thanks for the comments on "The Great Global Warming Swindle." I had the privilege to be part of that program. I agree it should be shown in North America and used as a balance to the showing of Al Gore's movie in the classroom. I warned the producer, Martin Durkin, he would have trouble getting the program shown in North America. Sadly, this has proved correct. I knew this because a similar program that identified many of the problems with the hypothesis and the science was not shown in North America either. PBS, the most likely venue at the time ( It is too long for mainstream channels) said it was biased and a Canadian political activist blocked its showing in Canada. That movie is available here;

The good news is that I understand the Swindle will be shown in Canada on the Discovery Channel. The bad news is there is no US opportunity in sight.

How is he on the right to life and guns and immigration? Maybe he should be running for President.
FReepers are good at counter-protesting.......
Expect to see us at the Democrat National Convention in Denver.....
I would love to hear his speech. Is there a link to a video of his enitre speech? Know of any re-runs on CSPAN? Thanks!
Full disclosure: I'm a newcomer to Oklahoma, about 35 years now, and damn proud to call the state home!
The Global warming freaks are the old environmental control freaks warmed up. They are organized, this is a business for them, they make money scaring people to death, it is shameful but, they don’t care. Inhofe is about one level above anything the Republicans are trying to run for prez today. He would scare a liberal to death, he is too pure for them to understand.
