Video: Sen. James Inhofe Boasts of Success in the GOP’s War on Science

WingnutsDecember 2010 • Views: 23,796

In the Republican Party’s rapidly escalating War on Science, James Inhofe is one of the Generals. A fundamentalist Christian with ties to the Dominionist movement, Inhofe has arguably done more than any other right wing politician to attack and delegitimize the science of global warming, and in this video he boasts, “Nothing is going to happen in Cancun at the UN Climate party and everyone knows it.”

Inhofe believes all this science stuff is just a hoax orchestrated by the United Nations, intended to trick the US into surrendering its sovereignty to a New World Order with the UN in charge. I wish I was kidding.

He says: the most enjoyable two and a half hours of his life were spent in Copenhagen telling the rest of the world to go f*ck itself because his party was going to torpedo the United States’ elected president’s effort to cooperate on an international climate initiative that would save land and lives in underdeveloped countries as well as our own.

What I want to know is, did Inhofe’s mother love him? Will his grandchildren? The way he takes pleasure in what he does just makes my skin crawl.

And the GOP will continue to side with beliefs, every time. Mocking and shitting all over science is as much their MO as shitting on the middle and lower class while pretending to be the great defenders of fiscal responsibility.

In my experience, Dominionists fulfill their own prophesy.

However, I’m never sure if they are intentionally trying to bring on the apocalypse, or just don’t care if the apocalypse does come or not nor whether they have a hand in bringing it.

Either way, though, it ends up being a ridiculously self-centered philosophy on life.

Repost that can not be overstated:

I beg you all to look at this post and at least watch the two little videos. They are short. Please. This needs to be put in perspective. Please look at the science link from the Royal Academy.

Republicans are fundamentally opposed to the rights, liberty and prosperity of the American people in as much as those rights liberties and prosperity disagrees with the profits of their corporate masters or the ideologies of the the religious right.

But it really is much worse than that. This monster is chortling about your deaths.

Um, oops, I was misinterpreting ‘dominionist’ to mean, ‘dispensationalist’. Dramatically different meanings.
But dominionism is still a self-centered philosophy on life, IMO, though in a different way than dispensationalism.

They don’t even believe the shit they spew. They only claim to believe this because 30% of Americans would believe the moon was made of cheese if they said it was, and this keeps that third of the public locked in on their side.

I think it started with the people who are so entrenched in outdated religious dogma that they can’t accept evolution. Since this worldview can’t survive contact with reality, they stick their heads in the sand and decide that scientists are conspiring against them. Add hate radio telling them there’s a liberal conspiracy against Christians, and you get today’s Republican.

I’m glad you posted this, as I was about to put up a Page on the wire story:

No US overseas aid for climate change: Senators

The United States must freeze climate-change aid payments to developing countries to help them implement a global plan agreed in Denmark’s capital last year, four US lawmakers said Thursday.

Republican Senators John Barrasso, James Inhofe, David Vitter, and George Voinovich told US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Washington cannot to spend the money at a time of swelling deficits and a bloated national debt.

“We remain opposed to the US commitment to full implementation of the Copenhagen Accord, which will transfer billions of US taxpayer dollars to developing nations in the name of climate change,” they said in a letter.

“We do not believe that billions of US taxpayer dollars should be transferred to developing countries through unaccountable multilateral or bilateral channels for adaptation, deforestation and other international climate finance programs,” they told the top US diplomat.

The lawmakers said total US climate-related government spending in 2010 reached 1.3 billion dollars, and President Barack Obama has requested 1.9 billion for 2011 — out of 3.6 trillion dollars in annual government spending.

“We request that the administration freeze further spending requests to implement international climate change finance programs. This would include making no additional international commitments to fund such programs,” they said.

Republicans routed Obama’s Democratic allies in November 2 elections, retaking the House of Representatives and slicing deep into the Democratic majority in the Senate, giving them a firmer grip on the reins in Washington.

House Republicans announced late Wednesday that they were dismantling the committee, created by Democrats, focused on battling climate change, calling it a waste of money.

Inhofe, Vitter, et. al. have several things going on here.

Yes, they are re-upping their credentials with the Tea Partiers wrt AGW, etc.

But they are doing their best to undermine President Obama’s foreign policy negotiations.

They want President Obama to fail just as much as they want to undermine any science-awareness in this country.

On the particular efforts the US is doing in Cancun, since we are not part of the Kyoto treaty and thus don’t participate in the that track of negotiations, one of the US’s main objectives is to see a “balanced” package be completed. This includes the first world-wide agreement on the importance of forests by assigning them value.

Inhofe, Vitter and their friends simply don’t care about life on this planet - they would just as well see this place burn.

The US has spend the past couple of years pushing “MRV” at the negotiations. That is, we’ve been the leading voice for verifiability in whatever nations do wrt emissions, mitigation, and adaptation. We’ve been pushing for international transparency. It’s been one of the tough things to argue at the UNFCCC meetings, and some progress has been made.

Yet Inhofe and Vitter want to undo all that too.

Finally, the claim of spending $1.9 billion on “climate” is a statement intended to misled. The US sends overseas very little money specifically wrt climate change mitigation or adaptation.

Cancún climate change summit: Japan refuses to extend Kyoto protocol

Japan refuses to extend Kyoto protocol. ‘The forthrightness of the statement took people by surprise,’ said one British official Link to this video

The delicately balanced global climate talks in Cancún suffered a serious setback last night when Japan categorically stated its opposition to extending the Kyoto protocol – the binding international treaty that commits most of the world’s richest countries to making emission cuts.

The Kyoto protocol was adopted in Japan in 1997 by major emitting countries, who committed themselves to cut emissions by an average 5% on 1990 figures by 2012.

However the US congress refused to ratify it and remains outside the protocol.

The brief statement, made by Jun Arima, an official in the government’s economics trade and industry department, in an open session, was the strongest yet made against the protocol by one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases.

He said: “Japan will not inscribe its target under the Kyoto protocol on any conditions or under any circumstances.”

Clearly, Inhofe has sanity in the rear view mirror.

Here is a suggestion: If we demand psychological evaluations from astronauts, military officers, pilots and others, why not make a psychological evaluation a part of the process of running for office?

I’m not talking about a means test for politics. I’m talking about a means test for sanity. I could care less about Sarah Palin’s politics. I do care that we know she won’t push a red button because God told her to do so. I don’t care about Mr Inhofe’s politics. However, if he is certain there is a secret conspiracy out there, I think we and his constituents need to know.

Politics we don’t agree with and even oddball politics are not a mark of insanity. Behavior and beliefs that reflect concerns from the established norms as understood by mental health professionals are.

People like Inhofe with clear issues with reality have no business being in politics, no matter how ‘respectable’ he might appear.

This is not a partisan issue (on the other side, Dennis Kucinich believes we are being visited by aliens from space).

If school bus drivers have to be screened, I don’t think we’re asking too much that politicians be judged for fitness to serve.

Because our Constitution allows one to vote for any old idiot as long as they are old enough.

As I wrote earlier (and put up in a Page), the US has been trying, and to a limited degree succeeding, in getting a couple of very important goals in those UNFCCC meetings. Especially about a new level of international transparency wrt spending on adaptation and mitigation funds.

Since the Kyoto Accord appears unlikely to go forward, the second track of negotiations, so called “LCA” for Long Term Cooperative agreement, in which the US participates, has been where the action has been moving.

Inhofe simply wants no international agreements. Period. On anything.

Inhofe is playing on the fears of many Oklahomans that their long term oil and natural gas cash cows are going to be skewered. He’s also playing on the religious fears of the fundamentalists who see anything other than their theocratic vision as a work of Satan.

Oh, it definitely is for the best. My mom graduated from high school in the 50’s, so being gay is something that is looked upon with pity, and like it’s some sort of affliction. She can’t fathom my cousin, who she baptized, as a lesbian. It just doesn’t compute. I mean, after all, my cousin isn’t butch, has a large circle of friends and a good career going as a lawyer, and she’s educated and well-adjusted. She can’t be gay.

Honestly? It took me many years to finally just let go of my mom’s hangups and let her believe what she wants. In her world, I’m still a virgin at 37 because I’ve never been married. The rest of my family knows better, but for her, I just don’t bother correcting her at all.

False USA median age is 36.8, OK is 35.5.

True, though not by that much. OK is at any rate better educated than California. NAEP results state by state.As to “not particularly diverse”, the very considerable Native American population of OK puts the kibosh on that misapprehension.

False As to “not particularly diverse”, the very considerable Native American population of OK puts the kibosh on that misapprehension.

As to Inhofe, he has no idea. If the truth hurt, telling the truth in his presence would be a violation of the Geneva conventions against torture. AGW is real, and truth is, Inhofe is smart enough to know that. He has to be, since he manages to make words into sentences and so forth.

But yeah, OK is oil and gas country, and like W VA, the people elect senators who will favor the industries of their state.
