(And probably always will…)Once upon a time, boys and girls, there was a loudmouthed senator from Oklahoma who huffed and puffed as hard as he could and did his best to scare everyone into believing that we can burn all of the fossil fuels we want and create CO2 any way possible and it was still all right.
And he believed this because he thought that global warming didn’t exist, even though reliable scientific data stated categorically that it did.
Well, since this was part of the reason why this senator’s political party lost the election last November, he also lost some of his power. But do you think he learned a lesson?
Why no, of course not.
And since the other political party won and is now performing its oversight role that this senator refused to do, how do you think he decided to respond?
Why, he decided to attack the author of a children’s book who also produced a movie that the senator didn’t like warning everyone about a problem that, according to the senator, still doesn’t exist.
I’ll tell you what, boys and girls. Let’s clap our hands together and make a wish, and maybe if we’re lucky, the senator will get caught in the middle of a rapidly evolving storm front that is a typical weather fluctuation for what he claims isn’t happening, and it will wash him all the way out to the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe that will teach him his lesson.
But I know that’s impossible; it really would be a fairy tale if we ever thought Inhofe would get anything through his thick skull.
Update 2/16/07: By the way, the Kyoto Protocols came into force two years ago today.
