Meet the Republicans’ Top Guy 
on the Environment, James Inhofe 
(cucko cucko)

By Juliet Lapidos

No sooner did President Obama and President Xi Jinping of China announce goals for combating climate change than Senator Jim Inhofe denounced them.
 
That's what makes him so special...C'mon, lighten up.
 
The Oklahoma Republican called the accord a “non-binding charade” on Wednesday and told The Washington Post that he would do his utmost to let environmental devastation continue apace.

WTF?

In his actual words: “As we enter a new Congress, I will do everything in my power to rein in and shed light on the EPA’s unchecked regulations.”
 
Yeah, EPA...The party's over!

That power isn’t minimal, given that Mr. Inhofe will take control of the Environment and Public Works Committee in January.

Let the games begin!
 
Comforting, isn’t it, that the G.O.P.’s top guy on the environment plans to spend his time bullying the agency dedicated to protecting the environment?
 
We get what we vote for...May gawd have mercy.

Mr. Inhofe’s anti-environmentalist record is as pristine as an old-growth forest, which the senator would surely vote to turn into a logging site.
 
Or a toothpick farm.

He published a book in 2012 called “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future” and said in 2006 that that United Nations invented the idea of global warming in order to “shut down the machine called America.”

Bad United Nations...very, very bad.

Once the U.N. kicked things off, moneyed interests kept up the scam.
 
“Those individuals from the far left,” he told Fox News in 2007, “and I’m talking about the Hollywood elitists and the United Nations and those individuals, want us to believe it’s because we’re contributing CO2 to the atmosphere that’s causing global warming.
 
No, no...we unelitists know it's the cows...you know...

It’s all about money. I mean what would happen to the Weather Channel’s ratings if all of a sudden people weren’t scared anymore?”
 
The Weather Channel? How'd we get to the Weather Channel? 
 
The Weather Channel bit might have been a joke.

Whew.

Mr. Inhofe showed his lighter side in the winter of 2010, after a snowstorm hit D.C., by building an igloo with a sign that read “Al Gore’s New Home.”

Another sign read “Honk if you love global warming.”

Or maybe he wasn’t joking.
 
He doesn’t appear to have been kidding around when he called the E.P.A. a “Gestapo bureaucracy.”
 
Oh, he didn't mean anything by that off-handed remark...Can we go back to the igloo remark?

Confusingly, for someone so committed to the argument that climate change is a hoax, he also thinks that anyone who believes in it is unconscionably arrogant.

Wait just one minute, you crazy, ignorant old phart!

We may be a lot of things, but we are not 'unconscious' or arrogant! Harrump!
 
In 2012, he said on a Voice of Christian Youth America radio program that “God’s still up there.

You have proof of that, Chief?

The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.”

Speaking of outrageous...
 
Carbon emissions aren’t to blame for climate change. God is.

And you know that because...???
