Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) blocked Senate Democrats on Monday from passing a resolution that would have acknowledged the reality of climate change.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) asked unanimous consent to pass S.Res. 524, which is a measure that expresses the sense of the Senate that climate change is occurring and poses a risk to the United States. But Inhofe objected.
“All we wanted to say in this resolution is climate change is happening,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said on the Senate floor. “We can’t afford to sit around here debating whether climate change is real.” Inhofe has been an ardent climate change denier, saying it is the “biggest hoax” perpetrated against mankind.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who is a sponsor of the resolution, said Inhofe was living in an “alternate reality.”
“To say that we have no warming is just not factual,” Whitehouse said. “Ignorant, out-of-touch or crazy — that’s what young Republicans think of that position.”
Klobuchar said she would try again to pass the resolution because the Senate looks “silly” for ignoring scientific agreement.
I think it's ridiculous the Senate to spend one second on something that is not among their Constitutionally enumerated powers.
It's cold this Summer....
It's called Weather.
The lie MUST be perpetuated at all costs.
This is how a political narrative is created.
Yup. Getting another night in the 50s. At least we save on not running the AC.
Whatever the facts are, they’re going to be facts whether the COngress says its true or not.
GOD Bless you,Senator Inhofe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fraud of AGW theory has been slowly unraveling. The commie Dems are doubling down on the lie before the youngest generations of brainwashed American’s begins to take notice and doubt the fraud.
Amen!
I'll bet. There are gigantic "clean energy" slush funds to be created.
“To say that we have no warming is just not factual,” Whitehouse said. “Ignorant, out-of-touch or crazy — that’s what young Republicans think of that position.”
Now how would he know what young REPUBLICANS think?
If the whole of American society acted with the same level of corruption, stupidity, and dishonesty as the current demmunist party politicians the nation would fall apart in the mannrt of a Cloward/Piven wet dream.
Dear DUMBASS DUMBOCRATS:
There has not been any evidence of general climate warming in the last 17 years.
This is according to your own NOAA, NASA and Climate Center.
Please start doing your home work and paying attention to you own organizations reports.
“Inhofe has been an ardent climate change denier...”
“Denier” Interesting choice of words. Sounds a lot like a holocaust “denier”.
The “science” of politicks is not an exacting one.. there is lots of room for wiggle.. and fudging.. and lying.. and out and out stupidity on display.
Thank goodness we at least get to vote once and awhile in an attempt to change that climate.
