He really believes that God controls the climate?

Why does the Bible Belt (where he's from) have so much drought and natural disasters?

*SIGH*

Nearly everyone i've ever known from Oklahoma has been pretty cool. Where do they get these insipid donkeys from that they choose to run for Congress?

Exactly. Here's another case of shoving words into someone's mouth.

I wonder if all those scientists, heads of state, bureaucrats, and reporters had credits to cover all the carbon they spewed on their trip to picturesque Copenhagen. You can see from their very behavior that they are not entirely convinced of their own theories. If I thought that carbon emissions would wreck havoc on coming generations, I wouldn't be jetting back and forth to Copenhagen, Hawaii, etc. I wouldn't be working in an office in DC through the summer, w/ AC on full blast.

The article was written by David Corn, a well respected journalist. It is clear what Inhofe meant. Deal with it.

Well respected among the FAR Left. Nowhere else.

What he SAID was Streisand AMONG OTHERS. The others, being all of *******dom pushing for more government control over industry.

Yep. The PLAN seems to be to overwhelm the forums (and the media) with lies and distortions (such as the Steve Scalise LIE) just to plant these thought into the mind of the uninformed voter. They figure you can't investigate all the outrageous statements they make, and just getting it out there will taint any Republican target. These libs aren't stupid, but they're not at all honest either!

Well, global warming can't happen because of Jesus. Inhofe says so. So I guess Babs has her work cut out for her. Not to mention the mysterious Others.

I look forward to two more years of watching Inhofe be an idiot, then watching other idiots try to defend the idiocy.

When you come right down to the real meaning of pollution control it is "Go clean up your mess". No business is willing to spend their own money to clean up or stop making their own mess. They expect the rest of us to breath their pollution, pay for cleaning up their trash and let them tear up the countryside digging coal.

These costs are economic externalities and represent costs of production not paid by the producer. These costs are externalized to the rest of us. They result in mispriced products and over valued stock. They are a non government subsidy. If internalizing these costs results in a product too expensive to sell they the market will force the company to stop making or mining that product.

I am damn tired of paying for any businesses profit collected because they will not clean up their own mess like a spoiled brat.

MotherJones, nonThinkProgress, Huff and ilk are upset about the 2014 elections and gearing up early for 2016. Which means their minions/shills need to post their "news" articles on places like this often.

Inhofe added "AMONG OTHERS" only as an after thought and only after he stated that Babs Streisand was responsible for the greatest con in the past 100 years. In a brief moment of clarity he probably thought, "Jeez, I will sound like a complete moron if I say what I truly mean so let me add, among others, so I will only sound like a partial moron."

Sure...Did the idea to develop an "AGW hoax" as a means to gain governmental control of industry also come from mind of Babs? Babs is definitely giving Dr. Evil, Dr. No and all other evil geniuses a run for their money don't you think?

Again he did not say what you claim. Your thread title even uses quotation marks in fraudulent fashion to attribute to him a phrase that he did not evidently utter, at least according to your link. If he said it, give us the link and quote, and all is well. If not, you really need to apologize for shoving words into his mouth. Prove your sincerity here. I'm always willing to debate a sincere opponent, but liars go on my ignore list.
