The recently disclosed emails and documents from University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit compromise the integrity of the United Nations' global warming reports. So declares Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, taking a few minutes away from a Thanksgiving retreat with his family. "Ninety-five percent of the nails were in the coffin prior to this week. Now they are all in." If any politician might be qualified to offer last rites, it would be Mr. Inhofe. The top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee has spent the past decade in the thick of Washington's climate fight. He's seen the...

One of Europe's solutions to the perceived global warming threat is trying to regulate carbon emissions through Carbon Credits The way it works is the government sets a or cap on the total amount of a pollutant that can be emitted. Companies or other groups are issued emission permits and are required to hold an equivalent number of credits. Companies that need to increase their emission allowance must buy credits from those who pollute less. In effect, the buyer is paying a charge for polluting, while the seller is being rewarded for having reduced emissions by more than was needed....

Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) spoke out against cap-and-trade as a policy to establish new green jobs during the Senate Environment and Public Works Full Committee hearing on Business Opportunities and Climate Policy Tuesday. Cap-and-trade spending is a policy of controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants, and is strongly supported by the Obama administration. "I am opposed to increasing taxes," Inhofe said. "And cap-and-trade is, plain and simple, a tax. It's an indirect, hidden, sneaky tax, but it's a tax." He said it's a tax that will "fall more heavily on poorer people...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday evening, U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) issued a warning on the Senate Floor about the dangers of Democrats’ latest attempt to stifle Free Speech through their efforts to promote diversity in communication media ownership and promote Broadcast Localism.  Though the Senate last week passed legislation (S.Amdt.573) that prohibits the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reinstituting the fairness doctrine, it also approved an amendment by Senator Dick Durbin (R-Ill.), “encouraging and promoting diversity in communication media ownership,” which is really just a new means of censorship on the airways and will give the FCC unfettered authority to...

Inhofe (R-Okla.) on March 4, 2002: "[Regarding the Saudi initiative featuring] the prospect of giving up land that is rightfully Israel's land in order to have peace. When it gets right down to it, the land doesn't make that much difference because Yasser Arafat and others don't recognize Israel's right to any of the land. They do not recognize Israel's right to exist. "I will discuss seven reasons, which I mentioned once before, why Israel is entitled to the land they have and that it should...
