Sen. Inhofe, denier of human role in climate change, likely to lead environment committee

Sen. James M. Inhofe, an the Oklahoma Republican who once compared the Environmental Protection Agency to the gestapo, is likely to lead the Environment and Public Works Committee when the GOP takes control of the Senate next year.

If approved, Inhofe would replace Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), an avowed environmentalist, producing one of the most stark post-election changes in the Capitol. Committee assignments will not be made until Senate party caucuses meet in Washington after the election recess.

Inhofe, who has served in the Senate for two decades, is an iconic figure to both environmental and energy lobbyists. He chaired the committee from 2003 to 2008, when Republicans controlled the Senate. Inhofe, a former congressman and mayor of Tulsa, came to Washington to do battle with federal bureaucrats, particularly those at the EPA whom he said threatened the energy industry in his home state....

Best headline of the day? And aren't hamburgers bad for the environment?

Good. Maybe some sanity will prevail. Aren’t we all tired of this LIB/DIM deviancy, lawlessness and insanity?

[Steely Tom]

His head exploded and it looked just like Hamburger.

Maybe the US gov’t can cut back on funding wild-eyed CAGWers?

[samtheman]

I would prefer to see him as majority leader.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, my yes. Elections have consequences. Deal with it.

[henkster]

You mean the EPA isn’t the Gestapo?

Of all the senaotrs out there, Inhofe is the one most likely to take a chainsaw to the EPA. Slash and burn, baby. Slash and burn.

[Patriot Babe]

I don’t think so. I will find out when I make my own burger for dinner.

[Interesting Times]

For humans to have a role in global warming, wouldn't the globe have to be getting warmer?

Maybe CO2 levels stopped increasing?

Okay, maybe not.

We’re having steak for the first time in a long time.

Love this!! Like filling a frosty mug with turpentine and handing it to an eco-savage to quench their thirst.

[PGR88]

Woo Hoo. Someone who will finally call the Global Warming movement what it is- a CULT.

[GOJPN]

Those nasty SUVs caused global warming. Scientist have found the remains of thousands of ancient SUVs mixed in with dinosaur remains.

The Erf is dooooomed...

I don’t want a mere denier of human role in climate change. I want an advocate for the truth. A crusader against the bad science of man made climate change.

[Da Coyote]

I’m a climate change denier also.

I will debate ANY WaPo writer anywhere, anytime.

You wanna piece of me, liberal science idiots?

Come and get it.

Be prepared for one thing you’ve never seen before: MATH.

Be prepared for another thing you’be never seen before: physics.

And- surprise, surprise - those two things actually related.

[Zeppo]

If approved, Inhofe would replace Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.)

Tom Hamburger, you ignorant 'journalist', that's Barbara "Call me Senator!" Boxer (D-Calif.)

Get it right or else she'll bite your head off...

[shove_it]

This one goes along with this other one ...

Congratulations, Voters. You Just Made This Climate Denier the Most Powerful Senator...
