Inhofe: Don’t Worry About Global Warming Because ‘God’s Still Up There’

In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, outgoing Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works James Inhofe (R-OK) argued that the current wave of unprecedented warming is due to “natural changes.” “God’s still up there,” Inhofe said, and to the extent there is warming going on, it is “due to the sun.” He added, “George Soros, the Hollywood elitists, the far left environmentalists on the committee that I chair — all of them want us to believe the science is settled and it’s not.”

Oh, how reassuring -- we don't have to worry cuz "God's still up there." :bounce:
...Wait a minute! Isn't God the dude who sent the flood that wiped out most of humanity? :scared:

:rofl:

Crazy people are funny!:spray:

[tridim]

3. Crazy people are DANGEROUS

Faith based science is not science.

[wtmusic]

6. Crazy people in positions of power are...scary. nt

[BootinUp]

2. This is not Sunday Service Congressman!

Do your damn job!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geebus.

[Hav]

4. .

But he is right! It's due to the sun! Think about it for a second.
I know it's true because it's getting colder at night.

[dalaigh lllama]

12. Methinks Inhofe has been out in the sun too long

It's curdled his brain. It has been said: "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun." Better add Inhofe to the list.

[Cha]

15. Or maybe inhofe has been

inside too long and needs some of that good ol' pollution free Sunshine. B-)

[w4rma]

32. God helps those who help themselves, Senator Inhofe. (nt)

[ananda]

5. quote

"People are born mad. Some remain so."

7. ah, geez

[stepnw1f]

8. I Bet He Beats His Wife and Kids

if he has any.

[jgraz]

11. When he's not blowing his 17-yr-old boyfriend

[fairfaxvadem]

9. Good grief, what bible is this man reading??

I'm sorry Mr. Inhofe, but the Almighty will NOT provide if you don't use the brain he gave you.

[dalaigh lllama]

16. He skipped the part with the flood

Either that or he identifies with Noah -- maybe the part where Noah gets drunk and goes outside buck nekkid. :rofl:

[fairfaxvadem]

19. Oh yeah, the dirty parts....

That's the only reason these freaks bother to read....even the Good Book!!!

[jgraz]

10. Let's all encourage him to go visit "up there"

[mike_c]

13. "science isn't settled" but his religious insanity is...?

If only he were capable of seeing the irony.

[Cha]

14. God helps those who

freakin' shut down the POLLUTERS!~

[DemBones DemBones]

17. Yes, and God promised Noah the fire next time. Let's not try to BE God

and start a fire or flood to destroy the world. Any Christian or Jew should know that God also told us in the Book of Genesis to be good stewards of the earth.

[hvn_nbr_2]

18. God's still up there....

and with any luck, he'll send a plague of locusts in Inhofe's bedroom.

[kineneb]

20. How, ahem, charmingly medieval.

And dear Senator, is the earth you live on flat?
Are the stars and sun attached to a crystal dome above us?
Is your "god" a big white-haired white guy that sits on a fancy throne, with blue-eyed Jesus on one side and blond Mary on the other?

Dude, you were born into the wrong century. Can we send you back to the 12th century, where you be much more at home?

[Mendocino]

21. A true student of James Watt...

The Interior Secretary under Reagan, who stated that we shouldn't take care of the earth, because the end of days is near.

[pdxmom]

22. God has proven that he gets pissed when we destroy what he has

created. Inhofe needs to spend a little more time in church and reading his Bible and a lot less time with his coterie of lobbyists.

[lakeguy]

23. "all of them want us to believe the science is settled and it’s not"

it is settled. hundreds of peer-reviewed science articles linking our co2/methane/whatever production to warming and none disproving it.

[dalaigh lllama]

24. kick for nite owls n/t

[clyrc]

25. Inhofe has always been an insane embarrassment

He's one of the reasons I only sheepishly admit my family is from Oklahoma.

[rosesaylavee]

26. Kick for the morning.

Good find. I hope by the next election cycle we can winnow out these whackjobs and replace them with thinking individuals.

[The Backlash Cometh]

27. Jesus. I wonder if there were evangelicals amongst the dinosaurs?

[malaise]

28. Is his god settled?

The scientists have produced evidence. Where's the proof of his god?

[niallmac]

29. An answer like that should mandate the men with the white coat

come and take him away.

[Hubert Flottz]

30. Saint Pasta won't let us get overcooked...

[dalaigh lllama]

37. Ramen! n/t

[smoogatz]

31. Fundies believe that the End Times will come before man destroys

the planet. Naturally, the oil and electric power shills have found it useful to exploit that belief. Inhofe is, no doubt, handsomely rewarded for encouraging Americans to go ahead and burn those fossil fuels.

[OnionPatch]

33. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!!!!

When I hear those kinds of statements, the hair raises on the back of my neck but now I can remember: Him and his ilk are out the door. America (or at least the majority of America) has rejected his bullshit. Here's a big woo hoo to send him off. Him and his other nature and science hating buddy, Richard Pombo :woohoo:

[stevedeshazer]

34. Faith-based environmentalism n/t

[Bill McBlueState]

35. Up where?

We've known since Edwin Hubble that if you go up from any point on the planet, you'll pass first through this arm of the Milky Way, then go by some of the nearby galaxies. Even if you're travelling near the maximum speed allowed by the laws of physics, you'll spend billions of years passing through empty space, punctuated occasionally by a cluster of galaxies.

So where is this "up" where Inhofe's god lives?

[Ishoutandscream2]

36. Oh boy, another great mind of the 15th century

Today's republic party is the party of religious insanity.

[SidDithers]

38. God and global warming...

there's evidence for one, and not the other. And it doesn't take much in the way of smarts to figure out which is which.

39. That video is so telling of Faux

instead of questioning him they are joking with him "Oh, that's a Faux news flash! The sun is the reason it's warm.hahahahahah" ...stupid assholes.

FUCK THEM ALL! Starting in January we begin taking back our country and exposing the truth.

[Nikia]

40. What if God is ticked off that we are polluting His/Her world?

And will let us suffer the consequences of our actions. I bet he never thought about that.

[mom cat]

41. Wasn't "God" also the one that said the next destruction would be by fire?

Cooking the planet to death just might qualify.

[XOKCowboy]

42. Inhofe is one reason I'm an EX-Okie

The religious hypocrisy was rampant and it was reflected in their elected representatives. I see that things haven't changed much.
