Sen. Inhofe Talks to NewsBusters About Global Warming, Gingrich and Politico's Energy Policy Maker of the Year
After Politico hysterically named Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson its "Energy Policy Maker of the Year" Tuesday evening, NewsBusters sought the opinion of James Inhofe (R-Ok.), the ranking member on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
As readers would expect, this led to a lengthy discussion about the global warming myth, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, ClimateGate, and a host of related subjects guaranteed to inform and entertain skeptics across the fruited plain (audio follows with transcript):
NEWSBUSTERS: I'm joined today by Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, the ranking member on the Senate Environment and Public Works committee. Thank you for joining us today, Senator.
SENATOR JAMES INHOFE (R-OKLAHOMA): Well, it's always good to be with you, Noel.
NEWSBUSTERS: Great. Well, I'm sure you saw EPA chief Lisa Jackson was named Energy Policy Maker of the Year by Politico last night. And I quote, "The EPA chief has been a forceful advocate on environmental issues and has held the line against intense Republican attacks on her agency." Is this kind of like Time picking Hitler or Khomeini as Man of the Year – whoever had the most impact whether for good or ill?
INHOFE: Well, you have to keep in mind she was also referred to as "President Jackson" in a recent article. I think that was in the Wall Street Journal in talking about how she's calling the shots.
Let me say something in her defense. When Carol Browner was in there, we remember her well, Lisa wasn't nearly as bad as Carol Browner was. At least when Lisa does things she smiles and she's a pleasant person to be around. And she has a picture of my 20 kids and grandkids in her office. Of course that helps, too.
The fact that she has done this, we need to have all of our participants here understand that it may be that she's director of the Environmental Protection Agency, but it is not her. It's Obama that's doing all this. Obviously, she works directly for him, and they are faced with a real crisis right now, certainly in a lot of these regulations. People realize what the regulations cost.
Now, Noel, I want to make sure everyone understands that I'm the ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee in the Senate. When Republicans were a majority, and of course we'll be a majority again after the 2012 elections, I was the chairman of that committee. And so I'm supersensitive.
Everybody knows that the fiscal problems that we have – the spending, the taxing, the deficits, the debt – that all is directly from Obama. But what people don't realize is that the cost of all these regulations are every bit as expensive to everyone who's listening to us now as the taxes and all these regulations have huge price tags.
To give you an example, he's right now trying to regulate a thing called "Boiler MACT." I don't want to get too far in the weeds here, but MACT means "Maximum Achievable Control Technology." So when they are regulating the emissions, they're doing it beyond our technology to do it. So what they're trying to do is just kill all manufacturing and this type of thing.
The crown jewel of overregulation is Cap-and-Trade. And you know it, we talked about this in the past, I was all alone for the first five or six years. No one would touch it. But we have actually won that battle and stopped them from passing any kind of Cap-and-Trade.
The reason I mention it in conjunction with other things that are destroying America is that if you take all the regulations that they are promoting to put people out of business, and add them together, they don't add up to as much as that one regulation, and that would be to try to do through regulations what they were unable to do through legislation, and that is a Cap-and-Trade. The cost of that is in the range of 3 to $400 billion a year.
Now, just bear with me a minute. I want to put that into perspective. I can remember in 1993 when the Clinton-Gore tax increases came out, and I remember going to the floor and talking about how this is unsustainable, how bad it was. They raised the taxes on marginal rates, on death tax, on capital gains tax, everything. And you add it up, the total cost of that would have been $30 billion a year.
Passing Cap-and-Trade as Lisa Jackson and the President are trying to do now through regulations would cost ten times more in taxes to the American people than the Clinton-Gore tax increases of 1993. I try to put it in perspective because people's eyes glaze over when they hear about the cost of these regulations.
I do something, Noel, that I don't know anyone else who does it. Each year I get from my state of Oklahoma the number of families who file a federal income tax return. Then I do my math every time something comes out in terms of a tax increase. Cap-and-Trade, the 3 to $400 billion tax increase, would cost each family in my state of Oklahoma a little over $3000 a year. And they don't get anything for it.
For those people who are listening to us who think that I've been wrong all this time, I'd just like to remind them of one thing: Lisa Jackson was honest enough to answer a question I asked her several months ago, and that is, "If we were to do Cap-and-Trade, either through regulation or legislation, would that reduce the emissions from CO2 worldwide?" She said, "No, it wouldn't, because that would only affect America." As a matter of fact, it could have the effect of increasing emissions because our manufacturing base would have to go to places like China, India, and Mexico where they have very little emissions controls.
So, that's the big issue right now, and I think it's kind of humorous because we're talking and having this interview at a time that's on the eve of the big annual blowout that the United Nations does with our tax dollars, I might add. Once a year they have the big party to try to get people to come back and join into some type of a Kyoto type of a treaty. And obviously they are not going to do it. That is dead in the water. And so they're going to have kind of a lonely celebration in Durban, South Africa.
NEWSBUSTERS: Especially when you had Canada come out earlier in the week and say, to a certain extent for reasons that you just imparted, that they're not going to participate in a second agreement of Kyoto specifically because they don't want to participate in something that China, Brazil, and India are not required to.
INHOFE: That's correct. Let's keep in mind they actually went one step further than that. They withdrew their name from the existing Kyoto that they were a part of. So that's very, very strong. And I could see why they would do it. There's other reasons, too. It's not that they just don't want to be a part of that treaty that only affects developed nations and not developing nations. But they also realize that they've been lied to about the science.
You know, this whole ClimateGate thing that just happened to be right before the Copenhagen United Nations meeting, and I remember going over there being the one man truth squad. And it was really the most enjoyable three hours I've ever spent in any foreign country to show the other 191 countries that they'd been lied to by Hillary Clinton, by President Obama, by Nancy Pelosi, and by John Kerry, because we were not going to pass Cap-and-Trade in this country. And they said we were. Now everybody knows we're not.
NEWSBUSTERS: Well, and the other thing that's interesting here with Canada pulling out, and the entire treaty falling apart, doesn't that very much validate the 1997 vote in the Senate that went 97-0 with Democrats voting with the Republicans against our participation in this treaty.
INHOFE: Well, let me elaborate a little bit on that, Noel, because that isn't quite the whole story. That was when Clinton and Gore had been in office, and they were trying to figure out how they could get this treaty ratified by the United States Senate. Well, we made such a big issue out of it that we passed a resolution that said that we would not ratify anything that does one of two things: one, be economically devastating to our country, and; number two, not impose the same restrictions on developing countries as developed countries.
Since he knew that they didn't have the votes to do it, he released the Democrats and allowed them to vote for it when many of the Democrats wouldn't do it otherwise. So, while it was overwhelming, it was unanimous, the main reason was the President knew, even Gore knew, even back there in the mid-90s that we were not going to ratify that treaty.
NEWSBUSTERS: Interesting. Now back to Jackson for a second, wouldn't you agree at this point that she is part of a White House movement to create environmental policy, especially as it pertains to global warming and carbon dioxide emissions, without Congressional oversight?
INHOFE: Of course. Of course, and again, she's carrying out the orders from her boss, President Obama. His administration is embarrassed that before the 2010 elections, they had the White House, the House and the Senate, and with big margins, and they were unable to pass the crown jewel over all regulation which is Cap-and-Trade.
So they were unable to do it during that time. So now what they're trying to do is get all these regulations to do exactly the same thing as legislative Cap-and-Trade would have done that would have cost between 3 and $400 billion a year, but do it with regulations. And that's my whole point. That is, of all of the regulations and the cost of the regulations, the biggest one is the whole idea of global warming and Cap-and-Trade.
You might remember, it was 2003 when I made the statement that the idea that manmade gases, CO2, are causing catastrophic global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. I was hated at that time, but now people realize I was right. That, by the way, is the title of my book that's going to come out in January.
NEWSBUSTERS: Yeah, why don't you tell us about your book?
INHOFE: I can't say too much about it. I finished it some time ago. Our problem is this, Noel, and you'll appreciate this because you're kind of in this business, too.
NEWSBUSTERS: Yes.
INHOFE: Every time you prepare something, you send it out and something new happens. For example, when Newt Gingrich sat on the couch with Nancy Pelosi holding hands and embracing global warming, he now says – and I told him at the time he would rue the day that he did that – he now says, "It's the dumbest thing I ever did." Well, these things are coming back to haunt these people. Well, this book would not have been complete without that quote from him in it.
Then of course, just recently, just two weeks ago, we had more information on how they cooked the science at the United Nations. Many of your listeners and observers right now probably won't recognize some of these acronyms like the IPCC, but that is the United Nations. They're the ones who are behind this whole Cap-and-Trade, this whole global warming thing, and in my book I have a whole chapter on the United Nations and what they're motivation is and was on this.
So they were the first ones to start this whole thing, and it is fascinating the amount of research we've had to go through to show and demonstrate very clearly what the role of the United Nations is, and still today the IPCC, those are the scientists that supposedly have the science to make all these global warming pieces of legislation a reality. In that respect, I told Barbara Boxer sitting in our committee hearing right after the 2010 elections, "Let's face it, Barbara – Cap-and-Trade is dead legislatively. I've won, you've lost. Get a life!"
NEWSBUSTERS: Well, and I remember seeing that. You know, one of the things of course that we write about is the media's coverage of the anthropogenic global warming myth and what not. Do you think, getting back to Jackson for a second and Politico, do you think that it's appropriate for a national media outlet to be praising an agency chief who by herself is trying to set policy without oversight by the legislature?
INHOFE: Absolutely not. It's perfectly appropriate to criticize them for doing that, but we know that they're doing it because the problem that they have, and it goes back to Lisa Jackson but it's also Obama and his effort for reelection. He's got to keep the far-left intact, and he's got to throw them something. So what they're trying to throw them is kind of a commitment that we're going to do all this stuff through regulations and we're not going to allow any, there's not going to be any oversight. They specifically said there will be no oversight.
You know, I think back sometimes, and I hate to always dig this up because I criticize Republicans when I say this. You and I talked about this a long time ago. Way back in October of 2008, to me one of the dumbest things Republicans did was to support the Democrats and come out with this $700 billion bailout. People have forgotten about that now. There were only a handful of us who opposed it.
Well, time makes people forget events that are like that. And I think what they're attempting to do right now is thinking that by the time the 2012 elections come about, in a year from now, the people will forget the fact that they tried to do it through legislation and the fact that something like this logically should have to have oversight. My gosh, what they're trying to do is pass the greatest regulation increases at the greatest cost in the history of this country with no Congressional oversight at all. But they can't have Congressional oversight because what they're doing is wrong.
Let me get you back in the weeds just a little bit. To be able to regulate through the Environmental Protection Agency the emissions of CO2 or anthropogenic gases, they have to say CO2 is a danger to public health. It's called an endangerment finding.
Right before Copenhagen, that would be a year ago last December, we had a hearing, and Lisa Jackson was before our committee. I said to her on the record, live on TV, "I have a feeling that once I leave for Copenhagen tomorrow, you're going to come out with an endangerment finding." And she kind of smiled, and I could tell that was going to happen. Then I said, "I have to ask you the question: what science will you use to base your endangerment finding on?" And she said, "The IPCC." Well, that's the same thing that right after that was totally debunked, totally refuted by the scientific community because of the scandal called ClimateGate.
So, that keeps getting worse and worse, and again, in my book I covered the history of that, which is fascinating. What they have tried to do to America with one issue actually overshadows all of the other regulations and the tax increases and the deficits and the debt almost all of them combined.
NEWSBUSTERS: I'm sure you saw the new ClimateGate emails. Anything new in that, or was that mostly old news as far as you are concerned?
INHOFE: Well, that was stuff that was merely the validation of what was said a little over a year ago, that they found out it is true. In fact, I have all of the verbatim stuff in my book that'll be of great interest. When you really study this, you wonder how in the world did they think they could pull this thing off. And they came so close to doing it, Noel.
NEWSBUSTERS: Yep.
INHOFE: I think back now in 2003, this is after we had rejected Kyoto, and they started introducing bills to pass it through legislation. The first one was the McCain-Liebermann bill of 2003. We had that on the floor, and I can remember I couldn't get hardly any senators to come down and join me in defeating that because the environmentalists – I'm talking about MoveOn.org, George Soros, Michael Moore, all of those people. You know, they put millions of dollars into campaigns. And so, there was this huge effort, and they thought the McCain-Liebermann bill would pass. We defeated it. But I didn't have much help in doing that.
Two years later, '05, McCain-Liebermann came back again, and they tried to do it, and we were able each time to defeat these bills by a larger margin till finally we had the Warner-Liebermann bill, and Waxman-Markey I guess was the last one, and that was just overwhelmingly defeated.
I don't believe in the United States Senate, keeping in mind they would have to have 60 votes to pass any kind of legislation on Cap-and-Trade or greenhouse gases, that they'd be able to come up with more – at the very most – than 25 votes.
NEWSBUSTERS: But do you have enough votes to prevent Jackson-Obama through the EPA doing what they want?
INHOFE: Well, we don't now, they do in the House. If you remember, we had the Upton-Inhofe bill. It was actually I started it here in the Senate. But we don't have the majority. The Democrats have a majority. And I was unable to get it done here. However, Fred Upton from Michigan was able to get it passed. He's the chairman of the comparable committee over in the House. And what that was was just to take away the jurisdiction from the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. Pretty simple. And that's the solution. And, yes, after the 2012 elections we will have the majority to get it done. Unless Obama wins, we'll have a majority but not a veto-proof majority. So, that's why it's imperative for my 20 kids and grandkids that we defeat Obama as well as get our majority.
NEWSBUSTERS: Do you think anything's going to come out of Durban? I mean, what's interesting is, my understanding is that no members of Congress are going there.
INHOFE: How can they go? I mean, John Kerry or Barbara Boxer or Nancy Pelosi or even the President, any of them go there after they made these bold statements in Copenhagen two years ago, and I went over and told them the truth, then to find out they were lying to them. Simple as that. So I don't think they want to go over, and I think that what they'll do is arrange to have votes take place here and use that as an excuse not to go. No one else is going either.
Let's keep in mind what this big thing is the United Nations does. I have countries, I know people, I've had a mission in Africa for many years. I think I know Africa more than any other member of the Senate. And I saw way back in Milan, that would have been 2003, that someone from a West African country – in fact it was Benin, I'll tell you who it was. And the individual who was there representing that country I said, "What are you doing here? You don't buy into this." And he said, "No, this is the biggest party in town – of the year."
Now, the biggest tragedy that they had down in Cancun was when they ran out of caviar. And it's our money that's paying for all of this. So we're still going to have several countries down there trying to say that they're going to try to get this done and all of that, but it's dead in the water.
When I say dead in the water, it isn't in the United States. My fear is I think any meaningful treaty is dead in the water, and I think any legislation in America is dead in the water, but what isn't dead in the water is the fact that they're going to continue to try to do this. Even if Obama is defeated, the far-left environmental extremists are not going to give up on this, and that's one of the reasons I wrote the book and it's coming out when it is to make sure everybody knows this is still out there. They're not going to go away. They're not going to give up.
NEWSBUSTERS: Well, speaking of far-left environmental extremists, my understanding is that no members of our media are going there either.
INHOFE: Well, you know, there's not much to cover for them. I've heard that it's kind of a media boycott there because everyone realizes it's not going to happen. Now Durban's a nice place to go this time of year, and there'll be a few of them show up. It was kind of like the way it was in Cancun. I think this thing died on the vine in terms of a treaty right after ClimateGate came out after Copenhagen.
NEWSBUSTERS: Right.
INHOFE: But the next year was Cancun down in Mexico, and of course we saw all the people drinking Margaritas and yelling and screaming and all of that, but that was the official throw in the towel meeting. So this one, anyone who's going there can't go back to his country and say whether it's going to be a meaningful change and we accomplished something in Durban. It's not going to happen.
NEWSBUSTERS: If Margaritas were the official drink in Cancun, what would you and I be drinking if we were in Durban right now?
INHOFE: Well, I don't know what they're serving in Durban, but I'm not going so I don't have to worry about it.
NEWSBUSTERS: Great. Anything else you want to tell our readers before I let you go, Senator?
INHOFE: No, I don't think so. I'm just glad, so thankful, Noel, that you and a handful of other people are keeping this alive, because as I say, this would be the most devastating economic blow in this country, and they're trying to do it. They're not going to give up. And even if Obama is long gone, there are going to be people trying to do this. So it's a very important issue we've got to keep alive, and you're the kind of guy that is willing to do that, and I appreciate it.
NEWSBUSTERS: Well, you know we've been fighting with you right from the start, and we'll continue the fight.
INHOFE: I know that. We're both doing the Lord's work, Noel.
NEWSBUSTERS: Yes sir. Well, Senator, thank you for your time, and I'm going to say Merry Christmas with an underline.
INHOFE: That's good. Merry Christmas to you.
NEWSBUSTERS: And Happy New Year, sir.
INHOFE: Thank you.

Excellent interview, Noel

Obviously Sen. Inhofe clearly "gets it," but sadly, he appears to be among the very few in congress that actually does. Sometimes I think he is waging a one-man war against the regulatory insanity brought on by Richard Nixon's bastard stepchild which, if you ask me, has gotten way too big for its britches.
It is truly amazing how that, in a supposedly free republic, we have so many federal agencies with armies of bureaucrats writing reams of regulations without regard for their negative impact on the economy (not to mention freedom), and who are apparently accountable to no one.
I spent 1989-1995 working for a sizable environmental engineering firm, and I was appalled at much of what I was seeing even then. You wouldn't believe the extra costs that had to be figured into even small projects due to the regulations brought about by the EPA alone. Then all the other federal regs had to be complied with, as well. Then you had to deal with the state and local ones, too, which at times were in conflict, and a lot of time had to be spent sorting them out.
Many of those regs are ridiculous on their face, and thus a complete waste of time and money, and once they become draconian enough, are major job-killers.
Hopefully the next election will go the right way, and enough people in a position to do something about it all, will.
What I'm hoping is that things will go well beyond mere oversight of this lunacy, but move toward de-fanging, de-clawing, castration and ultimately elimination of most of these tyrannical federal agencies - hopefully before we regulate ourselves into utter national economic paralysis.
Yeah, I know I'm dreaming, but it's the only thing keeping me going.

Senator Inhofe is a thorn in the side for environmentalists
Submitted by lrgon on Thu, 12/01/2011 - 2:13am.
Senator Inhofe's efforts have been stellar on behalf of America; taking on the enviros when few were willing to stick their necks out for the scientifically reasonable approach to the entire theory of anthropogenic global warming.
The economy after Cap & Trade:
Engineer Ed Hiserodt provides a short list:
"1. Every business would have to obtain emission allocations to use energy for whatever reason — ...for releasing CO2 from smokestacks and using energy for production purposes, but for gasoline for vehicles, propane for space heaters, and any other source of energy. Controlling these allowances would take a huge bureaucracy: to determine allocations, track energy inputs, insure that credits are surrendered when used, etc.
2. For gasoline, would the driller/source buy the emissions permit, or would it be the refiner, the wholesaler, the retailer, or the consumer? Initially it would probably be "up the line" at the refinery level. But as shortages were created, those "down the line" would have their usage curbed, since the refineries would have to ration to the wholesalers, the wholesalers would ration to the retailers, and the retailers would see to it that you and your family weren't using more than your share.
3. Such rationing would not be limited to motor fuels, but would also apply to electrical utilities, natural-gas utilities, bakeries, breweries — virtually all manufacturers. Obama warned us in the campaign that we would see a "skyrocketing" increase in electricity prices from coal-fired plants (which currently supply just over 50 percent of our nation's electricity). When the generating plants reach their limit for emission allocations (which are constantly decreasing), then they must buy more credits and pass the increased costs on. You will most certainly have a decreasing allocation from the electric company, and pay more — provided you're allowed to exceed your kilowatt-hour allotment.
4. The bill refers to rebates of the cost of the emission allocations or carbon credits. Who gets them? See if you can tell from this passage from page 1,092:
Subpart 1 — Emission Allowance Rebate Program. SEC. 763. ELIGIBLE INDUSTRIAL SECTORS. (a) LIST.— (1) INITIAL LIST.—Not later than June 30, 2011, the Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register a list of eligible industrial sectors pursuant to subsection (b). Such list shall include the amount of the emission allowance rebate per unit of production that shall be provided to entities in each eligible industrial sector in the following two calendar years pursuant to section 764.
It would appear that the administrator (of the EPA) would have great latitude as to whom to reward, and whom to punish.
5. All businesses would be required to purchase emission allocations and could sell them if they did not use their allotment. The Agriculture Department has told concerned farmers that it would be "a wash" for the first several years of the program, but later on they could cash in on unused allotments. So if you plant trees and don't use tractor fuel, you could then sell your carbon credits. So what if the food supply decreases and predictable price increases lead to starvation, particularly in the poorer countries. Hey, we're saving the planet, aren't we?"

Agreed about Newt, at least he's got some question against it and I'll take someone who's got some doubts about it over someone who believes in it any time.
Look at Gov Christie and Romney, they believe it's real and they're SUPPOSED to be Republican(but definitely not conservative), I won't take them. I like Gov Perry's position on it (I'm from Texas, biased after all) where he flat out says it's a hoax, and it is.
What gets me is that it involves some of the most basic simple science that's been convoluted and contorted into something outrageously ridiculous and one people don't seem to realize is that Carbon Dioxide makes up 0.033% of our air, yet we're to believe it's the culprit to the weather??
More people need to realize this.

common sense Republicans like Gov. Christie and Mitt Romney completely ignore the current information, and continue to believe in the dire effects of man-made Global Warming. Gov. Christie is so 'green' that he won the support of The New Jersey Environmental Federation (NJEF).
Once an elected politician, whether Republican or Democrat, is a believer in man-made Global warming, the policies they push and enact can have destructive consequences. For example, because Gov. Christie believes that Global Warming is real, he has banned new coal plants in New Jersey, intends to shut down current coal plants, and is committed to New Jersey's 2021 onerous Renewables & Efficiency Standard, which will dramatically increase energy costs in New Jersey for businesses and households.
Can you imagine a President Christie banning coal as a source of energy in this country? Yet, If I had to choose between Chris Christie and our current inexperienced Socialist politician occupying the White House, Christie would win my vote hands down. When it comes to elections, many times it's choosing the best of two deficient candidates. At least with Christie, Romney or Gingrich, I hold out the possibility that they will realize their belief in man-made Global Warming is a mistake.

In the light of new scientific conclusions based on satellite observations, neither Canada, US, Australia nor NZ are net positive CO2 emitters. They are PROVEN net absorbers!
Japanese Satellites say 3rd World Owes CO2 Reparations to The West
It's particularly funny since the graphic uses the color green to indicate NET ABORBERS. Guess who's green? The facts are clear, we (the West) aren't the problem even IF you think CO2 is an issue.
And guess who didn't cover this news? Why the MSM... who had over a month to say something. Doesn't fit the narrative does it MSM?

"If Margaritas were the official drink in Cancun, what would you and I be drinking if we were in Durban right now?"
Because this is an important question deserving of an answer, I hereby volunteer to go to Durban to investigate this pressing issue.
Of course I'll need a passport, a round-trip plane ticket. Hotel reservations (4 Star please) and an expense account… in return I'll guarantee a semi-sober on-scene analysis.
Thanks for expediting my unselfish proposal… and it was a great interview with Sen. Inhoff.

Another stellar interview Noel.
Submitted by acumen on Thu, 12/01/2011 - 2:37pm.
I find myself in the rare position of disagreeing with senator Inhofe. But just on this one statement; "Many of your listeners and observers right now probably won't recognize some of these acronyms like the IPCC..."
Thanks to Newsbusters relentless reporting on media bias, Noel's listeners and observers are well versed in the acronyms used by AGW proponents along with acronyms utilized in their multitude of PR intended pre released (and more importantly - pre replicated) reports to media cohorts in an attempt to pull off the greatest global scam ever waged against mankind.
On a similar note, I cringed while reading this;"Let me say something in her defense. When Carol Browner was in there, we remember her well, Lisa wasn't nearly as bad as Carol Browner was. At least when Lisa does things she smiles and she's a pleasant person to be around. And she has a picture of my 20 kids and grandkids in her office. Of course that helps, too." "The fact that she has done this, we need to have all of our participants here understand that it may be that she's director of the Environmental Protection Agency, but it is not her. It's Obama that's doing all this."
Indeed, a picture of the grandkids is worth a thousand words of pardon. Should the mafia boss ever send a hit man my way, I can only hope he is pleasant to be around and smiling before pulling the trigger. At least in the case of the mafia, the hit man has the excuse of a certain death if he were to leave the firm. I wonder what excuses Ms Browner offered senator Inhofe for hanging on? Certainly not the hope of retaining her current position at EPA post 2012. Or is it? After all, if Jackson was replaced with someone that placed science above personal politics, she would necessarily take those cute pictures with her.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, for decades senator Inhofe has fought the good fight in congress, many times alone, against the AGW fraud as well as standing up for traditional American values. And for that, he has my deepest admiration and support.

Earth Day 2012. [Celebration in Pozarevac]
Earth Day is a day early each year on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network,[1] and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.[2] In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.[3] Earth Day is planned for April 22 in all years at least through 2015.[4]
The name and concept of Earth Day was allegedly pioneered by John McConnell in 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco. He proposed March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature's equipoise was later sanctioned in a Proclamation signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. About the same time a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this April 22 Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.[5][6] Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"We made a lot of personalisation suggsetions and changes to the overall design of the save the date cards. The proofs turned out beautiful and the final product we received in the mail was better then we could have imagined! Beautiful quality paper and quality printing meant the save the date cards were classic with that professional edge. International posatge via fed ex was streamlined and professional. We wish you were in Australia so we could refer to more friends with a lower budget for wedding stationary items. Cant wait to explore our wedding invitations with you soon!"
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"The design of Breathtaking Blooms is so pretty and exactly what I was looking for. I was able to customize the font and color to match the style I was going for. The customer service and response times are always fabulous with WPD and it really makes the process so enjoyable. I would recommend this design to others, the quality is great and it arrived faster than I thought. Happy customer!"
"First time ordering from WPD. Everything was perfect on my Save the Date card. I ordered the card with the chambord (plum) color. Arrived 4 days early. Definitely ordering Invitations with WPD."

While ESPN is reporting that a West Virginia fan was struck by lightning during Sunday's West Virginia Mountaineers-Marshall Thundering Herd football game, multiple local news outlets are denying that report.
West Virginia Today and Mike Casazza of the Charleston Daily Mail both cite sources that lead one to question the initial report. Casazza spoke with an "agitated EMT" on the scene who denied there was an injured fan.
The Monongalia County Emergency Management Agency even chimed in with an official announcement:
While the lightning strike did happen and was captured on TV, there doesn't appear to be any kind of injury to a fan or otherwise. If a fan was hurt, emergency personnel apparently haven't yet been notified. We'll stay tuned for more updates as they come in.

Maricopa County giving away free pet microchips
Maricopa County Animal Shelters are giving away 1,000 free microchips to dog or cat owners on Saturday.
"This is just another way of encouraging pet owners out there to just really find that second alternative to make sure their pets are returned safely to them in the event that they get lost," said Andrew Greybear with the county.
Greybear said the first thing a shelter will do when they find a lost pet is to scan them for a microchip.
The free chips are being given away between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Outlets at Anthem.
The chips come with a free year of service and it's $17 per year after that to continue the service.

Locals know the Tampa Bay area has awesome beaches, great parks, a sizzling Cuban flavor and really cool museums. The problem is out-of-towners don't.
While Miami is known internationally as an urban chic vacation destination with beaches on the side and Orlando has the mouse to thank for its tourism prowess, Tampa Bay is lacking in the image department.
That lack of identity is something that concerns the folks at Spark, a Tampa marketing firm that's been researching what people think of when they consider Tampa Bay.
"We do not have a brand," James Robbins, Spark's brand director, told the Tampa Bay Times.
What's the problem with that?
According to Robbins, when an area doesn't have a brand, people start coming up with their own ideas of how to best describe it. This, Robbins pointed out by showing a Times' reporter a picture of a local strip club, can be rather damaging.
Tampa Bay & Co., the Tampa/Hillsborough marketing agency agrees that the Bay area needs a unified brand to rally marketing efforts behind.
"We realized we needed to coalesce our message as to who we are and what this destination is in a succinct way," Tampa Bay & Co.'s marketing vice president Doug McLain told the Times.
Now the area's marketing firms are trying to solidify a brand for Tampa Bay. And as they do so, we'd like to hear your thoughts.
If you were a marketer, what slogan would you use to describe the Tampa Bay area? Do you agree our image is a little on the bland side? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

UFC middleweight Dan Miller on East Coast MMA, son Daniel, and future.
What's at stake for Jim Miller and Ben Henderson in their lightweight bout? MMA Nation has the answers when the #6 and #14 lightweights in the world collide. Surely there's a title shot for someone at UFC on Versus 5.

"I am honored that Jim is so highly viewed amongst his peers as a top level fight. My advice to Melvin is stay in shape and if Ben Henderson gets hurt, lobby to be the replacement.

Chin (combat sports)
In combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts, a fighter's chin is a figurative term that refers to an ability to tolerate physical trauma to the head without being knocked unconscious. The fictional Rocky Balboa character of the Rocky franchise epitomizes the concept of a boxer with a granite chin.
A fighter with a "good chin" refers to a fighter with the ability to absorb blows to the head without being struck unconscious, which can also be called "having a beard", "good whiskers", "granite chin", or "iron chin".
Although such fighters have been knocked out, it is rare. There is a dispute as to the physiology of having a "good chin". Some believe that a strong neck that resists a sudden angular acceleration of the head is what makes a "good chin". Supporters of this belief point to Evander Holyfield and Marvin Hagler, both of whom were strong and had large trapezius muscles around the neck. Others believe that it is genetics that decides whether a fighter will have a good chin or not.
A fighter with a "bad chin", "china chin", "suspect chin", or "glass jaw" refers to fighters with limited ability to absorb punishment to the chin or jaw. Many clubfighters and journeymen may have glass chins, although it may depend on weight class or sometimes legs. Some boxing experts, such as Teddy Atlas, believe it to be a mindframe. Additionally, some fighters have been known to have better chins as a result of moving up to a higher weight class. One example of this is Miguel Cotto, who was seen as having a relatively weak chin at light welterweight but was harder to hurt once he moved up to welterweight.[1]
In 2008, Amir Khan was labelled as being "chinny"[2] and lacking a "decent chin"[3] after being knocked out in 54 seconds in his bout with Colombian Breidis Prescott. The label held after he was wobbled in the 10th round of a bout versus Marcos Maidana and later knocked out by Danny Garcia in the 4th round of their fight.

Time and money wasted because First Minister didn't act sooner claim Plaid
Plaid Cymru claim that today's announcement is an admission by the First Minister that moving specialised neonatal services out of North Wales is the wrong approach.
We have clearly won the argument and it's a shame that Carwyn Jones didn't admit as much months ago. Had he done so, Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board could have developed proposals to retain the service in north Wales from the start, avoiding the terrible waste of time and money in now having to consider a different approach. This is clear proof that the NHS lacks direction from the Welsh Government which is why it is in such a mess.
I'm hugely concerned that he seems happy to accept the imminent loss of the service, saying that he'll try to bring it back at an unspecified point in the future. In the meantime mothers and babies will still be exposed to all the risks Plaid, the BMA, RCN and RCM have been warning against. The First Minister also doesn't seem to understand that a key consequence will be the loss of expertise within the remaining intensive care services for newborn babies in north Wales. Once the intensive care service is lost it will be much more difficult to re-introduce it.
– Llyr Gruffydd, Plaid Cymru AM for North Wales
The government's statement is very ambiguous on timescales and we will need to redouble our efforts to ensure that Labour isn't allowed to kick this into the long grass. This campaign is far from over.

20Report: Whitney's "Official" Cause of Death Might Be Pills and Alcohol
From TMZ:
Whitney Houston's family was told by L.A. County Coroner officials … the singer did not die from drowning, but rather from what appears to be a combination of Xanax and other prescription drugs mixed with alcohol … this according to family sources.
We're told Coroner's officials informed the family there was not enough water in Whitney's lungs to lead to the conclusion that she drowned.
Our sources say the family was told Whitney may well have died before her head became submerged.
And family sources tell us … it was actually Whitney's aunt, Mary Jones, who discovered Whitney's body in the bathtub. Mary had laid out Whitney's dress for the evening on the bed and then left for about a half hour. When Whitney didn't come out of the bathroom, Mary entered, pulled Whitney out of the tub and began administering CPR.
And we're told … Whitney's mom has arranged to have the singer's body flown back to Atlanta, as early as tomorrow. The family was told the Coroner has no problem releasing the body because there is no evidence of foul play — and unless cops put a hold on the body, it can be flown back East.
Ugh. When Emily said that things just keep getting worse and worse, she definitely hit the nail on the head.
You know, I don't mean to open up a giant can of worms or anything, but Whitney aside, doctors are so f-cking quick to write out a prescription these days that it's not even funny. No, it's NOT even funny. People pass out these g-ddamn pills like they're candy or rewards for a long, hard day, and you know what? It's not OK and it makes me angry. Some of the pills found at the scene included Xanax, Ibuprofen, Midol, and Amoxicillin, but there were apparently quite a few more present in the hotel room.
Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, had a similar incident happen to her just the day before her mother died. She fell asleep in the tub, and according to sources, it was a close call. Also, Bobbi's been hospitalized twice, now, since finding out about the death of her mom. One of these hospitalizations was a result of pills. And alcohol. From Radar Online:
"She tried to ease the pain of losing her mother by having a few alcoholic drinks," the insider said.
"She was distraught, on the verge of a complete breakdown. Not knowing what to do, members of her mother's entourage tried to calm her down with a sedative. The two were an unfortunate mix and she ended up passing out."
Angry. ANGRY. And then you look at poor drug-addled Bobby Brown, who probably doesn't even know which end is up right now, and you can't tell me that he's not the next one to be hospitalized for something:
This was Bobby's arrival at LAX upon hearing the news of Whitney's death. The poor bastard looks like he's been crying for forty-eight hours straight, and no, there's no reason for a joke about "probably the drugs" to be inserted here. This sucks, guys, and while it's sad for Whitney and her family, the reality of it is that this kind of shit happens every f-cking day, day in and day out, to nameless, faceless people who don't even generate a blip on the public radar unless you knew them personally.
I know there's a lot of people out there who'll say "Well DUH, what did you expect, a 'former' drug addict died from pills," but making a statement like that is like putting band-aid on a busted artery. It's no solution to an ever-present (and ever-growing) problem.

I can't believe they gave her pills knowing her past with addiction. Her entourage should have known better. Her poor daughter. Also, fuck Bobby Brown, he's not better than Chris Brown. They both hit their partners.
Bobby Brown look's one xanax pill away from being found in the tub too.
Really ? someone thought it was a good idea to give this kid a couple of drinks and some pills ? How about someone just stepping up to the plate and acting like an adult with a shoulder for her to lean on.
As for Bobby Brown no sympathy.
Your the only person I agree with on this page that's so true
People need to take responsibility for what they are on, how much they are drinking, seeing a therapist when things get bad instead of self-medicating. We are not completely powerless beings. It is sad but we can't keep blaming these high-profile deaths on doctors. It communicates to people that they can still behave like toddlers when they are grown-ups.
I think we focus too much on the pills and forget that people don't drink responsibly. They don't hold themselves accountable when they drink. Xanax says not to drink with it right on the bottle. Anti-depressants serve a good purpose and actually help…unless one is counteracting them frequently WITH a depressant–alcohol.
People don't drink responsibly. They don't hold themselves accountable when they drink. Xanax says not to drink with it right on the bottle. Anti-depressants serve a good purpose and actually help…unless one is counteracting them frequently WITH a depressant–alcohol.
Anti-depressants serve a good purpose but they are nullified when counteracted by a depressant (alcohol).
People like this make it nearly impossible for those with legitimate need for prescription medications to get them. My stepfather was in horrendous chronic pain from MS and he was barely prescribed anything because the doctors were terrified of the DEA harassing them, all thanks to lowlifes like this. I don't care what anyone chooses to do with their life, but when your actions prevent others from getting desperately needed pain relief, there's a problem. So what we're going to get here is more unnecessary hand-wringing, OUTRAGED(!) comments and people blaming everyone BUT the person responsible….Whitney herself.
I am sorry she is dead, and I do understand the struggles of addiction but to punish the vast majority of responsible people because a tiny portion of people cannot handle themselves is cruel, inhumane and just downright evil. 15,000 people die of prescription drug overdoses in the US every year. Yes, it is sad but this is in a country of 300+ million. All this will be is another excuse to curtail people's freedoms, and the freedom to be pain free should be a human right and it is a travesty for the government or anyone to get involved and prevent people from receiving the medication they need. Honestly, I cannot understand the mindset of people who actually WANT the government to regulate every aspect of people's lives. Do you think that if there was MORE govt regulation that this wouldn't happen? Is it worth giving up freedom to "protect" people from themselves? When are we going to accept the fact that we cannot, and should not try, to save everyone, especially when it means punishing innocent people?
yall dont know shit, if they were white the comments would be totally different.
It has nothing to do with the race of those involved. It has to do with their past history of addiction. If Lindsay Lohan were to have overdosed on prescription pills, everyone would be saying the same things.
This is not a race issue Mr. flay, it is an addiction issue that is on the backs of all races. trust me black people do not have the corner market on drug addiction. the issues is changing habits and recognizing what situations trigger drug abuse. what to do wth those triggers and what to replace that habit with Whitney houston had the means to get clean and the mental ability to see what changes needed. It is not her ex husbands fault it is her own choices that led her to this end. So we feel bad for lost talent and for lost hope for a better tomorrow for Whitney. But now her daughter is on the same path. her family needs to get her help and put her in contact with good people that live normal lives. Stay off the road that leads to drugs. Make healthy choices and life long decisions. all addicts have a choice, do i live or do i sucumb to the devil of meth, coke, heroin, what do i need to be healthy and happy. take the humble way of Jesus. People tend to die how they live.
STFU bobby flay
it look like all the stars are falling because the doctors just get them all hooked on
what they call medicine…… right
This lady did not overdose, she was killed by the ILLUMINATI…Wake up ppl
I think everyone that mentions that illuminati shit is evil themselves I really hope your a kid who in their right mind really believes that shit and these people have been in the buisness for decades how come no one mentioned it then….let me answer that …its made up lmao
Illuminati lol that bs is so stupid I cant wait til that's over and done with they are regular people with regular lives some idiot decided to make that shit up its no where in the bible so it can't be true anyways people need to let that women rest in peace people choose their own paths rather right or wrong she was sad inside God bless her soul….ps illuminati you sacrifice someone close to you not yourself idiot lol at least that's what I was told about the bs
When you have a drug problem when in your 20′s or 30′s might just be a coping problem or just trying to get off them, but if your doing the prescription drugs or illegal drugs in your 40′s or more real simple you want to get high!!!! you know where it leads and what comes with it and the risk so be safe!!! and make better decisions would be my advice!!! to the point sorry
Your right about that "for real guy" but you wernt in her life who knows what that lady may have been going through being rich doesnt make u happy who knows she could have been drunk first and didn't realize what she did otherwise it would have happened a long time ago don't u think?

U.S. Supreme Court
Will there be a SCOTUS vacancy in 2014? Not according to this legal prognosticator
Posted Dec 11, 2013 7:15 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
There won't be a U.S. Supreme Court vacancy in 2014, there won't be a U.S. prosecution of Edward Snowden, and there will be little court scrutiny of U.S. surveillance.
Those are among the 2014 legal prognostications by legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker He also asserts that legal momentum is on the side of same-sex marriage supporters, though conservatives are asserting that religious freedom allows businesspeople to discriminate against gays who want to hire them for wedding-related services.
Meanwhile, court challenges will consider new abortion restrictions and voting rights, Toobin rights. And the Obama administration's health-care law will be back before the U.S. Supreme Court as businesses assert a right to evade the law's requirement for contraception coverage.

FORCE serves any person of any age who faces hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity, gratitude, and kindness of our members, the healthcare community, and our friends and family to keep our lights on.
As our impact and reach grows exponentially, we are making progress in hereditary cancer awareness, policy, and research. But for the first time in our 14+ years of service, 2013 brings a funding shortfall for our already-shoestring budget, and demand for our programs now outpaces our financial growth. So here we are, hat in hand. We try not to ask for much, but we do now ask that you take a few minutes to read this short plea and consider becoming a FORCE Hero by giving a mere 50 minutes of your time or contributing $50 to any of our nearly 70 members who have joined our Hero program.
We are here for you, but we are also here because of you. Now we need your help.
Take a moment and remember when you first encountered FORCE. Now imagine if FORCE wasn't there when you needed it. Our efforts that provide awareness, advocacy, education, and action lead to longer lives for those at increased risk for breast, ovarian, and other inherited cancers. But lack of funding is now jeopardizing our programs. Please be a hero for FORCE, and help us to continue helping others. Visit facingourrisk.org/heroes to create and share your hero page today.

For a few hours just before the non-waivers trade deadline, there were some hot rumors about the Arizona Diamondbacks going after one of the premier starting pitchers on the market. Dempster. Lee. Garza. Especially Garza. The best of those rumors had Garza and somebody else going to the Diamondbacks for Justin Upton. Which obviously would have been the biggest deal of the summer.
It didn't happen, of course. Last week, the Diamondbacks acquired third baseman Chris Johnson from the Astros, and just before the deadline they acquired relief pitcher Matt Albers and outfielder Scott Podsednik from the Red Sox. But they're heading into the last two months of the season with the same starting pitchers who got them through the first four months.
Which isn't a terrible thing.
Less than 24 hours after the trade deadline, the Diamondbacks recalled pitcher Patrick Corbin from the minors, and he started against the Dodgers Wednesday afternoon.
If the Diamondbacks had traded for a premier starting pitcher, Corbin might have been included in the deal. The funny thing, though, is that Corbin might be, or become, a premier starting pitcher.
Last winter, the Diamondbacks made a five-player trade with the Athletics. The two key players in the deal were Trevor Cahill (a starting pitcher who made some money) and Jarrod Parker (a starting pitcher who made no money). The D'backs got Cahill from the A's, the A's got Parker from the D'backs.
Cahill's been really good this season. Parker's been better. One could argue with some conviction that the Diamondbacks would be better right now if they hadn't made that trade. Especially when you consider they also gave up relief pitcher Ryan Cook, who pitched in the All-Star Game.
Patrick Corbin's really good. He entered the season as the Diamondbacks' fifth- or sixth-best pitching prospect, but that's largely because the Diamondbacks had a ton of really good pitching prospects. During a five-start stint in the big club's rotation this spring, he struggled some but wasn't embarrassed. Later came a two-week stint in the bullpen, during which Corbin pitched well. He's also been really good in the minors this season.
No, he's not as good right now as Matt Garza or Ryan Dempster or any of the other big names that came up at the trading deadline. But he might be good enough right now for the Diamondbacks to catch the Dodgers and the Giants. And he doesn't make any money. Which is nice.
The Diamondbacks do have a huge number of exciting young pitchers, and they could have traded one of them. But you can never have too much young pitching. Just ask the Braves.
