At the Tenth International Conference on Climate Change held in Washington, D.C. last week, Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee was both the keynote speaker and an award recipient. He was presented with the Political Leadership on Climate Change Award by former senator and president of the Heritage Foundation, Jim DeMint.
Inhofe reflected back on his journey from the early nineties when he assumed that since everybody who was supposed to be an expert at the UN was claiming that the Earth was warming, it had to be true. He went along with the herd, until he realized the amount of money that was being extorted from the people of the developed world. He did the math on an average family of four and found that their burden for the climate con would be roughly $3,000 per year. That’s when he decided to look into it a little further. The phone calls from scientists started coming in shortly thereafter and the counteroffensive was on.
He points to history and to the cyclical nature of climate, from a warming to cooling pattern and back, all independent of man’s influence and much of it occurring before man had any influence. He notes that as self –aggrandizing as man might try to be, particularly those who see themselves as the rightful rulers of the world, God is still in charge of the climate. Man’s not nearly as significant to the overall scheme of things as he might like to think he is.
He points out that the climate hoax has dropped to dead last as a concern of the people and it is for this reason that the big money special interests have gone into the hard sell. Inhofe worries about his Senate colleagues being tempted to appease the forces of climate corruption with a vote, and has a few choice words for appeasers and their fates.
