Morano (Senator Inhofe's Comm. Dir. on Environment & Public Works Committee) Rebuts Critics of Senate 'Consensus Busters' report featuring over 400 plus (and growing) scientists (Debunks Rabett, Dessler & Pierrehumbert ) [Full Senate ‘Consensus Busters’ of Over 400 plus (well over 450 actually and growing)scientists can be found here: http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.SenateReport ] Key Excerpts from Marc Morano’s New York Times rebuttal to critics of Senate blockbuster report: (There has been at least one call to have Morano's postings banned from the New York Times website.

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. The new report issued by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s office of the GOP Ranking Member details the views of the scientists, the overwhelming majority of whom spoke out in 2007. Even some in the establishment media now appear...

For the first time in history, a fatally flawed global-warming cap-and-trade bill passed out of the United States Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee. Democrats, led by Chairman Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.), approved the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2007 (S 2191) by a vote of 11 to eight December 5. Serious Flaws While the outcome of the vote in committee was never in question -- since Democrats hold the majority -- it did provide Republicans the opportunity to expose many of the serious flaws of this bill. The fact is this bill is simply all economic pain for no...

NewsBuster Noel Sheppard reported on the global climate meetings in Bali, particularly the letter sent to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon by a number of prominent scientists stating that the global warming hysteria was overblown. Now comes an attempt by US Senator James Inhofe to warn about the true goals of this movement. Inhofe is a tireless crusader for truth in advertising where the global warming hysteria crowd is concerned. On the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works site he maintains the Inhofe EPW blog, wherein he and his staff update the hysteria of the global warming crowd. Today,...

Los Angeles, CA (Nov. 27, 2007) -- "They are both examples of how science has been politicized," declares Holly Fretwell, author of the new kids book The Sky's Not Falling: Why It's OK to Chill about Global Warming (Kids Ahead Books, 0-9767269-4-7, for ages 8 and up, Sept. 2007) “Scaring people into believing something is not just dishonest, it’s disrespectful,” says Fretwell. “To create a better world, a better future, we should educate, not indoctrinate. Innovation comes from knowing the real state of the world.” "Think of how much money and time have been squandered based on inflated, scaremongering statistics...

GOP Sen. James Inhofe, ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, faulted Democratic Chairwoman Barbara Boxer's leadership of the committee this morning in the most recent of a series of attacks on her handling of global warming legislation. At a hearing on human health effects of global warming, Inhofe implied that she was distracting members with studies of what might happen from global warming rather than focusing on "what will happen if we legislate global warming." Inhofe believes that any mandatory cap on greenhouse gas emissions will bear too great a cost for the economy for too...

Sen. Inhofe Slams Gore and Climate Alarmism in Historic Two Hour Speech By Noel Sheppard Created 2007-10-26 17:14 Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, delivered a startling and historic two hour speech on the Senate floor Friday about "recent developments which are turning 2007 into a ‘tipping point' for climate alarmism." The Senator cautioned that bills being proposed by various members of Congress "come at a time when the science is overwhelmingly taking away the basis for alarm." These "so-called ‘solutions' to global warming...will have no measurable impact on the climate," and...

Inhofe Reveals How Scientists & Activists Believe Global Warming has 'Co-opted' The Environmental Movement Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, delivered a more than two-hour floor speech on October 26, debunking fears of man-made global warming. Below is an excerpt of his remarks detailing the scientists who believe the environmental movement has been duped into promoting man-made global warming fears.

James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, commented on the introduction of S. 2191, "America's Climate Security Act" by Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), calling the legislation yet another in a series of global warming cap-and-trade bills that would cripple our economy while achieving no real environmental benefits. "The Lieberman-Warner bill will burden American families with additional energy costs and significantly harm the...

Check out this Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=InhofeEPWPress Watch Senator Inhofe - Republican from Oklahoma, take on Al Gore and the media on global warming.

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. John Sullivan officially endorsed Republican Fred Thompson for president on Wednesday. Thompson's presidential campaign made the announcement for the two Oklahoma Republicans. Inhofe had gone public with his support of Thompson last June, even before the attorney-turned-actor-turned-politician had entered the race. Sullivan confirmed his endorsement Wednesday. "I am proud to support Senator Thompson," he said in a written statement. "He is a backer of fiscally responsible spending, positive immigration reform and correcting our nation's broken health-care system." Inhofe cited Thompson's leadership and proven record of supporting conservative values. "As Americans get to know Fred...

After Fred Thompson received the endorsement of former Virginia Senator George Allen this week, I wondered which scandal plagued politician would back Thompson next. Larry Craig? Ted Stevens? Turns out the honor goes to Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the former chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee who once called the threat of global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He then compared Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to Hitler's "Mein Kampf." In a campaign press release, Inhofe praised Thompson for his "deep character and principle." Looks like folksy Fred won't be going green any...

WASHINGTON A bill to crank up penalties for the nation's most polluted air regions both in California was introduced Thursday in the Senate by Congress' biggest skeptic of global warming. A week after reacting angrily to California's passage of landmark anti-global warming legislation, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., produced a bill to more than double fines on polluters who don't meet cleanup deadlines for soot and smog. States that don't require them to clean up could be denied federal highway funds. Democrats and environmental activists accused Inhofe, who chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee, of retaliating against California. Inhofe has...

SENATE FLOOR SPEECH DELIVERED MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2006 SENATOR JAMES INHOFE CHAIRMAN, SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE I am going to speak today about the most media-hyped environmental issue of all time, global warming. I have spoken more about global warming than any other politician in Washington today. My speech will be a bit different from the previous seven floor speeches, as I focus not only on the science, but on the media’s coverage of climate change. Global Warming -- just that term evokes many members in this chamber, the media, Hollywood elites and our pop culture to nod...

Climate alarmists have been attempting to erase the inconvenient Medieval Warm Period from the Earth’s climate history for at least a decade. David Deming, an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma’s College of Geosciences, can testify first hand about this effort. Dr. Deming was welcomed into the close-knit group of global warming believers after he published a paper in 1995 that noted some warming in the 20th century. Deming says he was subsequently contacted by a prominent global warming alarmist and told point blank “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.” When the “Hockey Stick” first...

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says the debate whether humans are changing the climate is over. Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, says the science linking human activity to global warming is overwhelming. President Bush recently called global warming "a serious problem." He said there is still uncertainty over how much of the warming is natural and how much man-made, but he added that it was time to "get beyond the debate" and deploy new technologies to curb greenhouse gases. But in the U.S. Senate, one prominent lawmaker isn't buying it. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., has argued repeatedly that the idea that...

GLOBAL WARMING is a religion, not science. That's why acolytes in the media attack global-warming critics, not with scientific arguments, but for their apostasy. Then they laud global-warming believers, not for reducing greenhouse gases, but simply for believing global warming is a coming catastrophe caused by man. The important thing is to have faith in those who warn: The End Is Near. So a New York Times editorial Thursday took after Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., not for being a Doubting Thomas, but as the headline read, a "Doubting Inhofe." The brunt of the editorial was not a scientific refutation of...

The California governor likens Inhofe's stance to 'Stone Age thinking'; Inhofe is careful in his reply. WASHINGTON -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's comparison of U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe's stance on global warming to Stone Age thinking drew a mild response Monday from the Oklahoma Republican. "I admire him immensely. He is going to be one of our top leaders in the Republican Party," Inhofe said of Schwarzenegger. While careful not to criticize Schwarzenegger directly, the senator said the governor was embracing the stance that is popular in California. "In California, it is very much influenced by the Hollywood mentality," he...

(CNSNews.com) - A United Nations study due for release early next year will reportedly lower estimates of mankind's impact on the earth's climate by 25 percent, a development a leading climate change skeptic in the U.S. Senate says will pour "cold water" on "global warming alarmism." "We are all skeptics now," Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee, said in response to media leaks on a report by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is set to be published next February. London's Telegraph reported Sunday that the IPCC draft...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate's most vocal global warming skeptic, James Inhofe, on Thursday dismissed a U.N. meeting on climate change as "a brainwashing session."Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican who will step down as chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee in January, told a news conference, "The idea that the science (on global warming) is settled is altogether wrong."A majority of scientists, many in the U.S. government, accept that global warming is spurred by human actions and the emission of greenhouse gases. President George W. Bush said as much in July at a summit of industrialized nations. Inhofe...

I havent seen videp of Senator Inhofe's speech at CPAC (does anyone know where to get it?) - but inhofe does have a blog post of his notes - shattering the so called consensus of global warming. From the inhofe blog epw.senate.gov/minority/blog: "Senator Inhofe has made available his CPAC speech notes and PowerPoint presentation to the public.

Get ready to hear a lot about carbon-neutral living in the days and months ahead. It's the new euphemism for Escalade-driving environmentalists who "purchase" carbon credits to assuage any guilt about their private jets and 20,000 square foot summer homes.

When the old gray lady says it's over, it's over. The New York Times -- nearly a year late -- is finally recognizing the scientific reality regarding fears of a man-made climate catastrophe. On March 13, a landmark article stated "scientists argue that some of (former Vice President Al) Gore's central points are exaggerated and erroneous." It appears we are all skeptics now. It's about time the Times joined the growing chorus of scientists criticizing the alarmism. Even the United Nations, despite all the media hoopla, halved its estimates for sea level rise since 2001 and reduced man's impact on...

A leading skeptic of global-warming science is challenging celebrity activists such as Al Gore and Sheryl Crow to lower their "carbon footprint" to the same level as the average American by Earth Day in April 2008. "I simply believe that former Vice President Al Gore and his Hollywood friends who demand we change the way we live to avert this over-hyped 'crisis' not only talk the talk, but walk the walk," said Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican...

You have to see James Inhofe, PATRIOT from Oklahoma, ripping Al Gore's idiocy a NEW ONE on the floor of the Senate right now!!!!!

"The Issue of the Potential Impacts of Global Warming on Recreation and the Recreation Industry" Thank you for having this hearing today, Madam Chairman. I have to say, however, that we seem to have hearing after hearing after hearing on climate change – indeed, this is the Committee's second one this week alone – but we don’t seem to actually discuss legislation. While other Committees without jurisdiction on this issue attempt to write our nation’s global warming policies, this Committee sits idly by talking about tangential issues. I believe that if we do wrestle with actual legislation, then the folly...

CNSNews.com) - Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member on the Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), told approximately 400 conservative students Thursday morning that despite attempts to silence global warming critics, the ground of the climate change debate is starting to shift their way, giving their views more exposure and effect. In his speech at the 29th National Conservative Student Conference in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Young America's Foundation, Inhofe accused liberals of trying to silence the dissenting voices. He then named a host of scientists from around the world who are critical of global warming, including MIT's professor...
