“Climate is changing, and climate has always changed,” said Inhofe, who chairs the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee. “There’s archeological evidence of that. There’s biblical evidence of that. There’s historic evidence of that.” He continued: “The hoax is that there are some people who are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful, they can change climate. Man can’t change climate.”
Put these senators in a chamber with a powerful enough UV source to cook their skin and eyes away, with a barrier of just enough ozone to keep it in check. And let them watch you breaking down the ozone until they beg you to stop.
Is it cruel? Yes, I rather feel it is. But it’s less cruel then sending people into the world with only an asshat for protection.
Let’s assume no agency on behalf of the lobbyists and that the politicians are aware of this. They still deny climate change and promote drug wars because cash. In god we trust. It’s right there on the money. Literally and figuratively. Including metaphorically.
It’s all about the Benjamins. But not about the President. That tireless self-promoter of a communist!
I think this is like when christians who are pro-death penalty say stuff like:
“Oh, the proper translation isn’t ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ it’s ‘Thou shalt not murder.’ It’s not murder if it’s legal.”
So when Jesus threw the money lenders out fo the temple? He was probably just freeing them from the stuffy confines of that dusty old temple so they could move into their comfy, corporate sky-scrapers. See? Jesus believed in corporate person-hood too!
"There's archeological evidence of that. There's biblical evidence of that. There's historic evidence of that."
He actually listed biblical “evidence” as being a separate proof than archeological or historic. He didn’t say biblical proof WAS historic proof. That’s either an interesting Freudian slip or a cunning awareness that they’ve got to start hedging their bets on the subject of biblical inerrancy.
I’m not even going to dignify them by presuming to know which god they are talking about. They’ll need to come out and name it, or pick it out of a lineup like any other criminal.
I’m pretty sure that that’s weather. Weather indistinguishable from a class 3 exercise of divine power by an ISO standard finite-power polytheistic pantheon member, yes; but weather.
