Inhofe: ‘MoveOn.org, George Soros, Michael Moore’ created global warming hoax

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) on Wednesday explained that Al Gore and the United Nations get most of the blame for what he called a global warming “hoax,” but filmmaker Michael Moore and billionaire George Soros deserved some credit too.

At a Environment and Public Works Committe on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Gina McCarthy to be the next head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that he wanted the agency to listen to scientists instead of climate change deniers like Inhofe and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY).

“What Sen. Inhofe has written and talked about is his belief that global warming is one of the major hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people, that it’s a hoax pushed by people like Al Gore, the United Nations and the Hollywood elite,” Sanders told the committee.

“I think that is a fair quote from Sen. Inhofe. Is that roughly right, Sen. Inhofe?” Sanders asked the Oklahoma Republican.

“Yes,” Inhofe agreed. “I’d add to that list MoveOn.org, George Soros, Michael Moore and a few others.”

...runs something along the lines of "creating an ad-hoc cottage industry for regulators and grant-seeking climatologists" but perhaps they've added to it since i last bothered to check on it.

6. You must have missed that conspiracy. It's all about the NWO making us live third world.

No electricity, fossil fuels, owning land, rationing food, water, heat, taking away our cars, guns, kids and all of that. They want us all living in little cages to control our every move. First they panic us into accepting CFL's and then they'll go Agenda 21 on us. Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger of their madness.

Why? They're already calling the shots -- why give up the perks?

Let me explain this alternative world view and why it's so circular.

Everything about global warning must be denied to be resisted. Everything must be privatized in order to keep government from getting their hands on it and sending us to the FEMA work camps. With mandatory indoctrination in socialism and Obama cellphones to keep track of our every movement and words.

Remember Government = The Beast. It must be defunded before it comes to get all of us. We must be armed to the teeth with military weaponry to fight like the freedom fighters in the movie Red Dawn, because this is part of the world communist movment. That's where the UN comes in.

The global warning initiatives are all about thinning the herd to save the lives of non-humans and give the world to the elites. When we are all under their control they will start killing us.

The ones that are making the fortune off the fossil fuels are really freedom fighters who are standing up for old fashioned family values and natural marriage and God's laws. If we don't help them maintain capitalism, we will live under godless socialism where we are all slaves to the state. Our children will not belong to us, they will property of the state to use for experiments, sex slavery or any other diabolical scheme the elites want to do to them. To create their new order of doing things.

Okay, leaving the CT persona:

Yes, theres is huge disconnect in what they are doing to control everything.

Back in Character:

But since it's not the evil government, we will be freer than now. We will pay corporations or leaders directly and not have anyone interfering with our lives, telling us how to drive, how many kids to have, what to eat or drink or any of that. We will see the Earth returned to what it once was.

Out of wack again:

These people don't see the forest for the trees. They live in a dream world that consumes and doesn't think about much of anything beyond what they are told to think. And I'm a bit tired, but if you'd had the opportunity over the years to read and listen to their world view, it is very complete.

There is one part of what they say about global warming that denies their denial, so to speak, makes sense. Deep down, they know the climate is changing. But they will not allow that to be of human agency. Because that takes from God's plan and power to claim humans can have an affect.

And conversely, even if the world is changing from humans, then that must be God's will, too.

Besides they all getting paid for this.

I don't know if that helps you get the gist of what they're saying, but that's it.
