their = there :)

All I can say is that if Inhofe is all ga ga over helping the poor their is something in it for him. It all sounds pretty on the outside but he is by nature not an altruistic person; something smells on this deal.

In view of our political leadership, I'm of the opinion that we DE-volved from apes...

Downtown, I would bet you think we all evolved from apes as well? We do need to do something about oil dependence and such, but as far as global warming goes it's a non issue, what we have are climatic changes that occur naturally over the years.

Tax the Baptist and vote for Andrew Rice...it's our only hope.

As I've stated before, reducing emissions and reducing reliance on foreign oil go hand-in-glove here. I don't think any **American** can argue that we should continue relying on foreign energy supplies, can they? We can develop technologies that reduce emissions and use a sustainable American energy source, probably at less cost than we currently spend on energy. Everyone can win here; I've no clue why Inhoffe is seeking praise for "doing nothing". Personally, I'm interested only in politicians who seek to "do something", then try to decide who seeks to do the best "something". I'm very suspicious when an elected official supports a status quo generally recognized to be broken. I don't know Inhoffe's motivation, but oftentimes when someone supports a broken status quo it indicates someone is getting **paid**.

Downtown, do you mean those residents of the far north who saw record snows all winter and into April? The coolest April in 12 years? You listen to the Al Gore Scientists who say this last several months cooling is "to be expected" as part of Global Warming and just nod along in agreement like your All Gore bobble head doll in the breeze from the A/C.

This is Inhofe's short-sighted agenda disguised as an altruistic act of love for the poor. There is overwhelming evidence that global warming is already occurring. Ask anyone in Alpine regions and the far north and it will be confirmed. Inhofe is not a scientist and knows nothing about global climate. If Baptist's truly want to protect the planet God gave them they should refuse to back such nonsense. Poor people in the world will be far worse off than already if global warming is not brought under control... as much as possible. So much of the worlds population lives in regions which could become extreme flood-zones throughout much of the year. Already, the Maldives are losing ground and may lose their entire country in the near future. Much of Southeast Asia is at high risk... as well as natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef. People can deny it all they'd like, it's easy to deny it in Oklahoma especially, but it is occurring. Ask someone who has been a landscape or garden professional for years in Oklahoma about local climate changes, if they've done much experimenting with non-native plants, their answers may surprise you. I'm not a tree-hugger liberal by any means, but I do trust solid scientific evidence and also believe we should try and be more environmentally responsible even without the threat of global warming. Poor regions also do not need their air and water polluted... industries should responsible. Look at the story of the tribes in Ecuador, oil companies destroyed their forests and rivers, removed all their oil, then left the people high and dry with no way to take care of themselves. They have an astronomical cancer rate and their entire way of life is over. It's not right and Christians, I hope, will help stop the nonsense... not enable it.
