(VIDEO) Not at all pressured by the big manufacturers that line his pockets , head of the Senate Environment Committee, Republican Sen. James Inhofe, tries to convince us that pollution is a good thing, and we need it around. Yes, this is the same Sen. Inhofe that not long ago brought a snowball onto the floor of the Senate to prove climate change isn’t real. Because, you know, if it’s snowing that means there is no warming of the climate due to increased carbon emissions. Now, Inhofe is trying to make us believe all those carbon emissions and pollution are actually good for us, saying:“Counter to the doomsday predictions of climate alarmists, increasing observations suggest a much reduced and practically harmless climate response to increased amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Also missing from the climate alarmists’ doomsday scenarios and well-scripted talking points are the benefits from increased carbon that has led to a greening of the planet and contributed to increased agricultural productivity. People do not realize that you cannot grow things without CO2. CO2 is a fertilizer. It is something you cannot do without. No one ever talks about the benefits that people are inducing that as a fertilizer on a daily basis. Despite admitted gaps to the scientific understanding of climate change and a track record of climate modeling failures, President Obama and his environmental allies are holding fast to their bedrock beliefs. They are intent on selling the president’s so-called Climate Action Plan to the American people that is less about protecting the environment and more about expanding the role of the government.” [iframe width="640" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EouVaeFivPA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 20px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 616.65625px; height: 346.859375px; border-style: none !important;"][/iframe]Never mind the fact that Inhofe has received campaign contributions from BP’s Political Action Committee. I’m sure that’s neither here nor there, right?According to Scientific American :“The Worst Climate Pollution is Carbon Dioxide”“CO2 sticks around in the atmosphere for decades to centuries, wreaking climate havoc.” But what do they know, really? I mean, it snowed last winter, so obviously Climate Change isn’t real. And CO2 makes all the things wonderful, right? I mean… right? Because I said it, it makes it true — not so much. Inhofe isn’t even disguising his idiocy. He just sounds like a used cars salesman trying to sell you the worst car on the lot, but claiming, “but look how shiny!” If only we had a Lemon Law for bad Senators.VIDEO
