James Inhofe’s Climate Denier Mystery Tour
Rep. James Inhofe (R-OK), a far right politician with ties to the Dominionist movement, on record comparing environmentalists to the Third Reich and the EPA to the Gestapo, is organizing a junket of climate change deniers to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this December: Inhofe: I’m Bringing a ‘Truth Squad’ to Copenhagen.
Inhofe has consistently been one of the most dishonest anti-AGW figures on the Republican side. Now he’s actually going to try to subvert the Obama administration’s policies, on foreign soil. And it isn’t the first time he’s traveled overseas to embarrass America; he made a similar trip to Milan, Italy, in 2003.
There was a time when Republicans would have called this kind of thing “treason.”
