Thank God his tenure is coming to and end!

By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent

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 said he acknowledged that the planet is warming but disputed those who attribute it to human activity and the emission of greenhouse gases. Instead, he blamed climate change on natural cycles.

1. Clearly Inhofe could never be brainwashed,

for that would require a brain. Stop pretending to be a scientist Senator, it is offensive to us real scientists.

11. Good riddance

Why this is disputed always baffles me. The science is very solid. One would think preserving the environment and atmosphere in any case would be a top priority.
We all live here.

15. What morans.

How convenient. Admit there is global warming, but deny that human activity has anything to do with it. That way you don't have to modify your behavior. :eyes:
