Sen. Jim Inhofe Crushes Global Warming Ambushers
Someone named Mark Hertsgaard, who’s a left-wing global warming kook, attempted to bring a camera crew in to ambush Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), who has almost single-handedly brought the climate-change insanity to a halt on Capitol Hill.
Except Inhofe was ready for him. And somebody else was on hand to video the encounter and show the raw footage so that Hertsgaard wasn’t able to pass off an edited copy in an attempt to embarrass the Senator. The result was that the kooks got nowhere, and come off as, well, kooks.
But wait, there’s more. We need to ask if the ‘ambusher’ can take what he dishes out. Please see: “Global Warming Alarmist ambushes Sen. Inhofe – can the alarmist withstand a congressional ambush on him?” http://www.redstate.com/russellc/2011/02/16/global-warming-alarmist-ambushes-sen-inhofe-can-the-alarmist-withstand-a-congressional-ambush-on-him/
Excerpt: “There is a bigger problem for Hertsgaard, when we reword a biblical phrase to say, ‘let he who is above reproach cast the first interrogation’. Enviro-activists like him have long made unsupportable accusations. What happens when the tables are turned, with hard scrutiny of those accusations? Hertsgaard unwittingly opens the door to a Pandora’s box of interrogation aimed at him and many others who have portrayed skeptic scientists as corrupted by big oil interests.”
Anyone that actually monitors what the planet temperature is doing is aware that it is going down. The temperature decline from the peak of the last El Nino in March, 2010 until December, 2010 was half the total increase in the 20th century. The drop from December, 2010 to Janurary, 2011 was even steeper.
