You're not supposed to ask for facts, Senator!

[Fair Paul]

Why not just lie and make it up, it happens everyday in that parallel universe.

[backwoods-engineer]

Because that useless bureaucrat knows nothing about science. Nor do half the climate “scientists”, who are positing warming based on an engineering error in their sensor grid (urban heat island effect).

[EagleUSA]

Just more of the huge scam upon the wealth of America.

[Colinsky]

We don’t need no stinking facts!

[Maceman]

Last summer, Obama pledged to use his executive SUPER powers to fight global warming.

[Himyar]

Lord, how I love my senator, The Honorable Jeff Sessions!

“You’re not supposed to ask for facts, Senator!”

Yeah, he should’ve asked what her feelings were on the subject instead.

“....Gina McCarthy wasn’t able to definitively say whether the world has gotten warmer....”

.
Say it anyway — no one will ever hold your feet to the fire (no pun intended).

The answer is... Yes. 10,000 years ago there was ice a mile thick that extended as far south as St. Louis. The earth has been warming since then. So the real question is, why has it warmed? Why did it cool? Why will it cool again? Hint, it has never been caused by humans.

The EPA is now emotionally based.

"Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions asked McCarthy to confirm a statement made by President Obama last year that global temperatures were increasing faster in the last five or ten years than climate scientists had predicted. "

She is telling the truth. She doesn't know.

Unfortunately, if there were reasonable evidence that global temperatures increased faster than climate scientists predicted, she'd be saying that the science is settled.

But Leon is getting larger....

[Rocky]

I vas only following orders.

[WayneS]

McCarthy couldn’t answer the question, saying that she only repeats what the climate scientists tell her.

So she ADMITS a tape recorder could do her job?

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

You are a winner! So, there’s at least 2 of us that get it. It’s a start...
