Inhofe on Global Warming Media Hysteria

#13  My favorite is the "Drowning Polar Bears" meme.

Last time I checked Polar Bears could swim faster than an ice floe could melt.

How stupid do they think we are?

What? Oh. Nevermind.

#12  I could use a little "global warming" - or at least, some LOCALIZED warming. We've had "highs" in the mid'sixties for over a week. Today it got up to 74F... "Normal" for this time of year is the high 70's or low 80's. I expect my natural gas bill to be much higher this winter than last winter.

#8  Until someone explains how solar heating can be raising the temperature on Mars yet raising temperatures on Earth are all man-made I'll continue to blame the Sun for any increased temperatures.

Damn you sun! Damn you!

#7  They all seem to forget that massive global warming 20,000 years ago moved back the massive ice sheets covering Europe and North America. If those were still in place, there'd be no Western Civilization, technology, medicine, the green [agricultural] revolution, etc. I'd say the consequences were for the better.

Its like the same old story of the Red/Greens who whine about what happened to the American Indians while they live and prosper in the resultant economy and civilization that makes their existance possible.

Bottom line is that it is all a power game to sell guilt and sin. For without guilt and sin they can have no power over you.

#6  So how do warmer winters that actually reduce our fossil fuel consumption not be a boon?

Shut up! You're spoiling a perfectly good agenda!

#5  Question for the RBers. As a resident of the GWN, I am aware of the tremendous amount of energy, oil, NG, coal we consume either directly or indirectly to keep warm during the cold winter months (Electrical consumption can actually peak in January and February). So how do warmer winters that actually reduce our fossil fuel consumption not be a boon?

Prroblems with polar bears appears more related to their proclivaty to dumpster diving rather than climate change.

#4  A Time editor has a choice: headline (with apprpriate graphic) "Death of a Planet" or "Earth in Pretty Good Shape". Guess which one sells more copy?

#3  The media really is at fault. We have had an example in the last couple of days here in Oz.

Early bush fires in NSW produced all kinds of GW warnings and told you so's.

A severe and abnormal late frost in Victoria's fruit growing area wiped out most of the crop (far and away the biggest in Oz) was hardly reported and without comment.

#2  *channeling Blazing Saddles re #1*

Now who could argue with that?

#1  Reminds me of KILL BILL VOL. ONE > Sonny Chiba as HATTORI HANZO to Uma Thurman as BLACK MAMBA > "This is the finest sword I've ever made ... When this sword encounters God in the forest of Revenge, Hatred, Blood and Destruction, GOD WILL BE CUT - symbolic of yet another Oliver Stone production of almost a Penn State Undercover Nostradamus quatrain, NOT starring Kurt Cobain or the Battleship Oklahoma, etal which in Nostry's case is the FACE OF "GOD". Nostry and Madonna fans know of KILL BILL, didn't everybody??? Mankind will need Hanzo's Sword and better iff it hopes to cut the face of God. NO, JURASSIC PARK > "Man Destroys God" = T-REXes, Raptors, and Woman rules the earth???
