Jim Inhofe

I will have to leave as soon as I ask my questions because I told the Chairman I have a serious problem outside.

I think it has been biased all along from the very beginning.

I believe I would say to my good friend, Senator Sanders, that one area where all scientists should agree, that one pattern, or a cluster pattern, is not indicative of anthropogenic gas, global warming.

A lot of people believe that today's hearing is an effort to capitalize on the recent weather events of the summer in an attempt to reignite the global warming hysteria.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

President Obama's green energy agenda has been a disaster.

Is it fair to say that eliminating EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases would save these jobs?

I can assure you that it would not pass. In fact, less than one-third of the U.S. Senate would be voting for it.

I do not think we should let it go beyond our recognition that there is a lot of criticism of the NAS and their motives.

For years I had warned that the United Nations was a political body, not a scientific body.

We could be totally independent.

In a way it should not be any different from the highway bill. We just have different beliefs, different ideas, and that is what this is all about today.

I have to chime in here because I have not had a chance, Madam Chairman, to get my----

I suspect a look back over the past 3 years will be a little painful for my friends on the other side.

And that is what the President said.

It is a hoax and a conspiracy, Craig, because they try to make it appear that we are all going to die if we do not line up and do what they want.

And the interesting thing about all of these things, of going through this, is that no one disagrees with the fact that the greatest surge in the release of CO2 occurred after World War II, around 1945.

If you remember, as the Obama administration said, the IPCC is the gold standard.

I want to do, I think everyone on the other side of the aisle referred to Richard Muller, and I think it is important that we realize that perhaps he has been somewhat discredited.

There is no hypocrisy in him.

I urge this Committee to take immediate action to remedy our broken system.

Perhaps Mr. Jones, because of my position on the Armed Services Committee, I have gotten a lot of concerns expressed.

Modernization of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is very important, but before we focus on today's hearing...

Senators Vitter, Crapo, Alexander, and I sent a letter to Senator Lautenberg yesterday expressing our disappointment...

I understand that we are having a hearing today about one of the things that I think all Members of Congress agree on: lead exposure in children is harmful.
