AMERICA REACTS TO SPEECH DEBUNKING MEDIA GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM . Senator Inhofe spoke for 90 minutes debunking global warming myths and CNN made fun of him:
This morning, CNN ran a segment criticizing my speech on global warming and attempted to refute the scientific evidence I presented to counter climate fears.
First off, CNN reporter Miles O’Brien inaccurately claimed I was “too busy” to appear on his program this week to discuss my 50 minute floor speech on global warming. But they were told I simply was not available on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I did appear on another CNN program today — Thursday — which I hope everyone will watch. The segment airs tonight on CNN’s Headline News at 7pm and repeats at 9pm and midnight Eastern.
Second, CNN’s O’Brien falsely claimed that I was all “alone on Capitol Hill” when it comes to questioning global warming.
Mr. O’Brien is obviously not aware that the U.S. Senate has overwhelmingly rejected Kyoto style carbon caps when it voted down the McCain-Lieberman climate bill 60-28 last year – an even larger margin than its rejection in 2003.
Third, CNN’s O’Brien, claimed that my speech earlier contained errors regarding climate science. O’Brien said my claim that the Antarctic was actually cooling and gaining ice was incorrect. But both the journals Science and Nature have published studies recently finding – on balance – Antarctica is both cooling and gaining ice.
But he didn’t limit it to CNN. He brought ABC into it as well:
Perhaps that explains why the very next day after I spoke on the floor, ABC News’s Bill Blakemore on Good Morning America prominently featured James Hansen touting future scary climate scenarios that could / might / possibly happen. ABC’s “modest” title for the segment was “Will the Earth Become Too Hot? Are Our Children in Danger?”
The segment used all the well worn tactics from the alarmist guidebook — warning of heat waves, wildfires, droughts, melting glaciers, mass extinctions unless mankind put itself on a starvation energy diet and taxed emissions.
But that’s no surprise – Blakemore was already on the record declaring “After extensive searches, ABC News has found no such [scientific] debate” about manmade catastrophic global warming.
You have to be a pretty poor investigator to believe that. Why would 60 prominent scientists this last spring have written Canadian Prime Minister Harper that “If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary.”
On Tuesday’s program, the ABC News anchor referred to Blakemore as “passionate” about global warming. “Passionate” is one word to describe that kind of reporting, but words like objectivity or balance are not.
Do you ever expect anything less from the Communist News Network CNN and the Awful Broadcasting Company i mean this whole idea of GLOBAL WARMING is based entirely on junk science fualty data and computer simulations and might i say the HOT AIR from AL GORE,GREENPEACE,THE LIBERAL LEFT-WING NEWS MEDIA and the UN and its radical agenda if they want tp raly syop all that HOT AIR then they should all put duct tape over their big flapping pie holes:razz:
I completely understand the denial of global warming by conservatives.
How could the jerks in the bible belt (who still believe that we are all descendants of Adam and Eve) ever think that floodings, droughts, storms and lightnings and anything else that neither muslims, democrats and CNN can be blamed for are nothing else but a godgiven punishment to a godless world…
Wow a senator with some balls. Hey if you really believe anthropogenic global warming is such a threat then stop contributing to the problem, quit breathing.
The same people that preach the dangers of global warming are probably some of the causes of it. How many private jet trips has Al Gore taken to lecture his gullible audience?
2- No one is denying that warming doesn’t occur. What we think is happening, and scientists back up,is a natural cycle. It isn’t the biggest threat facing us and it isn’t gloom and doom..Has nothing to with the bible belt
5: And you know, Peejz, since Roggy brought it up, I’m glad the Bible isn’t a science book. It would have to be totally rewritten every few years to correct the wrong thinking.
2-I dispute the theory of man-made global warming. There seems to be a lack of objective fact finding from the libs etc.. hyping the catastrophe. for those who rely so heavily on “science” to destroy any possibility of a divine, intelligent, holy creator, or presence in the world, they sure don’t want to see the science out there regarding the climate. do everyone a favor, take a deep breath, read the entire article, follow the links and find the sources, even check the sources if you need to, and come back and post a comment that has any relation to the facts presented. It isn’t “god fearing christians” in denial opposing human-kind saving government action. It is reputable scientists and experts doing their best to set the record straight. Most of his speech dealt with the manipulation of the masses by the MSM to change government policy. Policy that is detrimental to our economic well being. I think you would agree that droughts, flooding, hurricanes, storms, etc… have been naturally occurring events on the planet since the beginning (no matter who created it). Please, use some reason and logic in your argument, check the facts, become educated, don’t mindlessly follow the preachings of brother gore! Be an individual for once and see for yourself!

Bacl in the 1970s we were suppost to be having GLOBAL COOLING and a new ice age and the news media has lied all about this global warming and yes how much has those wackos at GREENPEACE added just by going around the world in their ships and despite those goofy sails their ships still use fuel and they also have HOT AIR BALLOONS THEY FUEL WITH THEIR OWN HOT AIR and they still use electricity in their homes and at GREENPEACE H.Q. they are hypotcrits:razz:
Here we go again…this has been debated ad nauseum not long ago. San Francisco Liberal was the champion of the idiots by apparently not comprehending what Peejz points out in post #5.
Where is SFL anyway? Notice you never see him and shiloh at the same time?
Al Gore is typical of the Global Warming industry. He flies around the country in private jets to promote his agenda. He probably rides in limos to anti-global warming rallies.
We’re always told by the Left “follow the money” in regard to Bush and Cheney, Halliburton, etc. Well here is a perfect case for that philosophy. ALL of the Global Warming hysteriamongers have a financial stake in doing so.
I couldn’t believe when he came out with a speech within the past 6 months about lighting..energy efficient lighting..as if we haven’t been buying this for some time..like 25 years…Everything offered in the home is sold based on energy efficiency..the poer companies bombard us year after year about efficiency…I know of no person that absolutely loves giving money to the electric/gas companies…
Autos- That $3.00/gallon ticked enough people off to start buying more fuel efficient cars…
Airplanes…why haven’t the Al Gores etc., freaks gone after them?
11- I will gie you a hint..Her last name is Daschle and she is a prominent lobbyist for the airline industry..
Yeah, and she is a DemoCRITE!

You are indeed a perfect example of why many of the 82% of the American Christian population has such disdain for aetheists. It has nothing to do with your beliefs but more to do with the condescending attitude. Those “jerks in the bible belt” are usually hard working men and women and are the backbone of this country. Men and women like that are to be praised, and not scorned.
You need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Like many Christians, you are your own worse enemy.
Matthias sounds more like an “anti-theist” than an atheist.
#11: It is stupid. Just a fe wmonths ago I was at a local event and some doofus activist was up at a podium preaching about environmentalism. He was scaring the equally-ignorant crowd with regurgitated old “statistics” about how Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) were destroying the ozone hole, making the ozone hole bigger, and hoiw this is an example of how we are destroying our environment. The ignoramuses listened in awe as this prophet lectured.
It was like someone took him out of a time machine from the past. CFCs were banned, what, 20 years ago? At a cost of billions of dollars to the consumers, and replaced with a refrigerant that is not as good. Then remember how it turned out that the “ozone hole” was found to be a naturally-occuring phenomenom, and that it really isn’t a problem?
This was a meataphor, an example of the fraud that is now taking place ten times worse with the greenhouse gas hysteriamongers. The Governator just signed a bill here in Kali the other day to cut CO2 emissions. No mention of the single most effective and efficient way to do that, if you really are convinced: switch over to nuclear energy for electric power generation.
Greenhouse gas hysteria: 100% FRAUD.
