Okay, time to post something new. I’m still out of town, but with the handy wireless signal in the waiting room area — I can get it done. I had to add a new category: hypocrites, but I figure if I just post a few stories regarding the left, it’ll get plenty of use.

I love this from One News Now:

An outspoken global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate questions the science backing up Al Gore’s dire predictions about climate change. Senator Jim Inhofe attempted yesterday to debunk the former vice president’s claim that global warming is a “planetary emergency” that threatens mankind.

On Wednesday Gore urged Congress to take immediate action to “save the planet” by adopting an immediate freeze on greenhouse gases. He told a Senate Environment Committee hearing that the debate on global warming is “over” because of the widespread consensus within the scientific community on the issue.

However, Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) challenged Gore’s contention that global warming threatens mankind. “You’ve claimed [there is a] strong, new, emerging consensus linking global warming to increase in hurricane intensity and duration …,” the senator observed. “Last year the World Meteorological Organization very clearly rejected this assertion, and other scientists agree.”

At the hearing, Inhofe asked Mr. Gore to take a “Personal Energy Ethics Pledge” to consume no more energy than the average American household. The Oscar-winning filmmaker would not take the pledge.

Inhofe, who has said global warming is the biggest hoax ever perpetuated on Americans, did not stop there, saying Gore lacks solid scientific evidence to back his assertion that the earth is getting sicker and needs a cure.

“This is a good one here — this scares everybody,” said Inhofe. “You said that the east Antarctica might melt, and this could raise sea levels by 20 feet — so we’re all going to die.

“However, according to many scientists, the Antarctica is gaining ice mass, not losing it,” the lawmaker continued. “In 2005, a study published in Science a team of researchers led by Dr. Curt Davis found that the overall ice mass in the Antarctica was actually increasing.”

Dang! I think I’m in love with the Senator from Oklahoma. Not many in Congress have the nerve (I can think of a better word to use, but won’t) to stand up against this charade. Thank you Senator Inhofe!
