Inhofe Says Cap and Trade Climate Proposal is Dead

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Ranking Member Jim Inhofe (R-OK) says cap-and-trade climate change legislation is dead in the Senate, reports the Wall Street Journal.

So declares Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, taking a few minutes away from a Thanksgiving retreat with his family. “Ninety-five percent of the nails were in the coffin prior to this week. Now they are all in.”

If any politician might be qualified to offer last rites, it would be Mr. Inhofe. The top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee has spent the past decade in the thick of Washington’s climate fight. He’s seen the back of three cap-and-trade bills, rode herd on an overweening Environmental Protection Agency, and steadfastly insisted that global researchers were “cooking” the science behind man-made global warming.

  1. GOOD!

    The Hadley CRU emails & documents PROVE that these scientists were engaged in fraud. They had desired or “correct” results in mind, and were tinkering with their mess of a computer program to get these desired results spat out, whether or not the info they put in was “garbage” or not!

    Everyone read those emails & documents! Too many quotes & admissions, they’re caught red-handed. Don’t allow our corporate-owned mainstream-media tp whitewash this as if it never happened!
