Who's got guts for global warming debate?
Sen. Inhofe steps up the plate, while Ralph Nader steps out
|  Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., says he's "disappointed" that though he was very willing to engage in a nationally televised debate on global warming, the man who challenged him to the debate has now backed out.
Late last year, political activist and former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader challenged Inhofe, the ranking Republican of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and a leading skeptic of allegedly man-made global warming, to debate the topic with climate-change champion Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass.
"For the past decade, I have been reading about your description of the global warming assertions by scientists as 'one of the greatest hoaxes' ever perpetrated," Nader wrote in a Dec. 12 letter to Inhofe. "Clearly you are a man of your convictions on this subject. Just as clearly, Rep. Ed Markey is a man of his convictions on this topic.

 "So, what about your first real public debate with a fellow member of Congress on this topic?" Nader suggested. "People I know in Oklahoma say that you do not run away from challenges and challengers to your beliefs."
Indeed, Inhofe did not run away from the debate challenge, but accepted it almost immediately, offering dates that might fit into his schedule.
Rep. Markey accepted the challenge as well.
But earlier this week, Nader sent Inhofe a letter backing out of any involvement in the debate itself.
"The rest is up to you, Representative Markey, and your respective staffs to work out the details," Nader wrote.
Katherine Raymond, an assistant to the veteran activist, told Oklahoma's Tulsa World, "Ralph won't be doing anything further on this, it appears.''
In his original acceptance letter, Inhofe reiterated his criticism of the science and politics behind the international global warming scare.
"You were right to say in your letter that just as I remain committed to fighting against 'the greatest hoax,' Representative Markey is 'a man of his convictions,'" Inhofe wrote to Nader. "This debate is most welcome."

He continued, "We need to be talking about global warming because President Obama is moving full speed ahead to implement the largest tax increase in American history through global warming regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency. This is despite the fact that these regulations are based on the now thoroughly discredited science of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and both the president and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson have warned that EPA regulations would be even worse economically than cap-and-trade legislation."
Inhofe concluded, "We handily won the debate on cap-and-trade legislation, so now our fight is to stop President Obama from achieving through regulations what he could not achieve through legislation. This debate will be a great opportunity to shine the light on the president's job-killing global warming agenda."
Rep. Markey spokesperson Eben Burnham-Snyder also offered a preview to the debate by telling Politico, "Congressman Markey would gladly discuss with Sen. Inhofe the over 100 years of science that proves carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are raising the temperature of the earth and changing the chemistry of the oceans."
And even though Nader has stepped out of involvement, Inhofe is still working to schedule the debate, with or without Nader's help, though the activist is still welcome to attend.
"I really appreciate your suggestion that Representative Markey and I debate," Inhofe wrote to Nader. "Under the radar, [President Obama's] global warming agenda is alive and well – he is working aggressively to destroy oil, gas and coal as his administration goes full speed ahead enacting the most extreme, job-killing regulatory agenda in American history. Anyone who takes him at his word that he wants an 'all-of-the-above' approach to energy development need look no farther than his Keystone pipeline decision, in which he sided with his radical environmental friends instead of the majority of the American people who want the tens of thousands of jobs and the energy security that the pipeline would bring. One of the global warming movement's main leaders said that the president's Keystone decision was the biggest climate 'victory' in years.
"This debate will be an excellent opportunity to sound the alarm about President Obama's destructive global warming agenda," Inhofe concluded.

 It's a shocking story and one of the greatest frauds in human history - and today we have a collection of vital resources to help you understand and oppose it - starting with the most complete expose of the "climate change" scam.
Just this week, an effort continues in Congress to overturn federal "efficiency standards" which, by phasing out incandescent light bulbs, in one fell swoop killed an American industry, eliminated thousands of U.S. jobs and forced us to buy CFL bulbs from China which not only cost more, burn out and end up in our landfills more quickly and provide a lower quality of light, but also are extremely toxic if broken.
Sounds like the people who made the rules in the first place forgot to check the scientific data, right?
The truth is much worse: an unholy federal-scientific partnership that spins fake data to siphon taxpayers' money and, at the same time, attempt to implement a massive social engineering project.
In "Climategate," veteran meteorologist Brian Sussman reveals the results of a decades' worth of investigation: The theory of manmade global warming is a fraud and many of the high-profile personalities fronting such claims are charlatans purposed to change society and make loads of cash.
 Click here to find out who stands to make billions of dollars off the global warming scam.
If you think accurate scientific data underlies the "climate change" movement, consider these revealing words from a respected professor of climate change at the University of East Anglia:
"The function of climate change I suggest, is not as a lower-case environmental phenomenon to be solved ... It really is not about stopping climate chaos. Instead, we need to see how we can use the idea of climate change ... to rethink how we take forward our political, social, economic and personal projects over the decades to come." ("Why We Disagree about Climate Change".)
Also recall how, earlier this year, a Mother Nature Network report praised Genghis Khan as an environmentalist for killing 40 million people and thereby "effectively scrubbing around 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere."
In Climategate, you will discover:
- How science has been throughly corrupted by activists with Ph.D.s
- What really has happened, is happening and will happen with the earth's climate
- Why political leaders and government bureaucrats are determined to limit the amount of energy available to the people
- How the United Nation's policies are driving U.S. environmental law
- How you can confidently argue against the popular notions used to further claims of global climate change

Resisting the Green Dragon - (DVD set, 4 discs)
 "Resisting the Green Dragon is one of the best productions we have ever seen on the subject of radical environmentalism. Though many in the environmental movement have good intentions, the destructiveness of the worldview and the policies they advocate will have debilitating effects, not only on the West, but the rest of the world too." -- Jerry Johnson, President, NiceneCouncil.com
Without doubt one of the greatest threats to society and the church today is the multifaceted environmentalist movement. Although its reach is often subtle, there isn’t an aspect of life that it doesn’t seek to force into its own mold.
- Environmentalism has become a new religion.
- Environmentalism’s policies are devastating to the world’s poor.
- Environmentalism threatens the sanctity of life.
- Environmentalism is targeting our youth.
- Environmentalism’s vision is global.
"Resisting the Green Dragon" takes its cue from James 4:7, “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you,” Learn how the Bible powerfully confronts environmental fears and how – in God’s wise design – people and nature can thrive together.

 The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism - (Paperback)
Every American who wishes to understand climate extremism needs to read this book!
Written several years before the 2010 "climategate" scandal at the University of East Anglia had even broken, Christopher Horner's well-documented expose shows how "global warming" is the Left’s last best chance to gain a stranglehold on our political system and economy.
Horner tears the cover off the Left’s manipulation of environmental issues for political purposes — and lays out incontrovertible evidence for the fact that catastrophic man-made global warming is just more Chicken-Little hysteria, not actual science. He explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and UN globalists endlessly bleat that “global warming” is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true.
 Global Warming or Global Governance? (DVD)
The debate is still raging within the scientific community. Sovereignty International has put together interviews of climate scientists and biologists from numerous sources who explain, step by step, why Al Gore and the global warming alarmists are incorrect. It also provides evidence that the global warming agenda is being funded with tens of billions of dollars as a mechanism to create global governance.
Hear from congressmen, experts and even well-known news broadcasters as they discuss how global governance puts global institutions that are not accountable to the American people in control of every aspect of our economy. The U.S. government is very close to making this a reality. Very close. Every American, every citizen of the world, needs to hear the other side of the global warming story.
THREE GREAT ISSUES OF WHISTLEBLOWER!
 HYSTERIA: Exposing the secret agenda behind today's obsession with global warming
The U.N. announced global warming is leading inexorably to global catastrophe. Al Gore won the "best documentary" Oscar for his disaster film "An Inconvenient Truth." The news media beat the drum of "climate catastrophe" daily, all but ignoring scientists who say the threat is overblown or nonexistent. And across America, school children are frightened to death with tales of rising oceans, monster tornadoes, droughts and millions dying – all because of man-made global warming.
However, hidden just beneath the surface of the world's latest environmental craze is a stunningly different reality, as the March 2007 edition of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine documents.
 THE CRISIS CREATORS
Is it possible that the Obama administration is intentionally creating crises for the purpose of converting America into a full-fledged socialist state? To many, such a conclusion sounds like an absurd conspiracy theory.
But for those knowledgeable about the modern history of the radical left, creating crises is simply how things get done.
Indeed, in one of its most powerful issues ever, the January 2010 edition of Whistleblower magazine documents conclusively that the Obama administration's primary modus operandi of governance is the transformation of America through wreaking havoc.
 HIJACKING SCIENCE
If your faith in today's scientific establishment was shaken recently by successive waves of fraud on the part of climate scientists – from systematically suppressing evidence of global cooling, to attempting to erase the Middle Ages, to falsely claiming the Himalayan glaciers were rapidly melting – get ready for more scientific corruption, a lot more.
Politically and financially motivated pseudo-science is widespread and utterly out of control, extending far beyond climate research and into virtually every major scientific field. Indeed, this Whistleblower issue is subtitled, "From global warming to evolution, from psychology to sociology, blatant corruption of science is running rampant."
