Transcript From Inhofe Radio Interview
Monday, November 23, 2009
Senator Inhofe: This is a huge issue and of course we have the Gitmo
issue and we have the, of course, cap-and-trade is now taking a new
turn. Jed, if I could…
Jed Babbin: Yeah.
Senator Inhofe: Would you let me make one sentence?
Jed Babbin: Please.
Senator Inhofe: This is out of a speech that I made, Melanie, back on
the floor of the Senate, and it was repeated, John Gizzi picked it up
and put it in Human Events. This was 4 years ago, in talking about the
science, cooking the science. I said I would discuss the “systematic
and documented abuse of the scientific process by which an
international body that claims it provides the most complete and
objective science assessment in the world on the subject of climate
change, the United Nations IPCC.” Now that was four years ago; so we
knew they were cooking the science back then, and you’ve been talking
about the, you know, what’s happened recently with the bloggers coming
up with what they did, what they…
Jed Babbin: Let me interrupt you there Senator, because I think that’s
a really important point. Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven’t
followed that story, what Senator Inhofe’s talking about, in Britain,
a blogger got into some of the official government records about
climate change and how the measurements were being taken to show…
Melanie Morgan: And the politics behind it.
Jed Babbin: And the – well but they were basically saying, “Oh yea,
hey, let’s make it look like Jim so-and-so did that, and let’s help
him cook the books, and let’s change the data…”
Melanie Morgan: And “let’s beat up those who don’t agree with us.”
Jed Babbin: Yea, but it’s all a huge fraud! I mean, Senator, am I
exaggerating?
Senator Inhofe: No you’re not. If you remember, mine was the hoax
statement, and that was, what, five years ago I guess.
Jed Babbin: Well, we ought to give you a big pat on the back for being
…
Melanie Morgan: Yea, you deserve an an ‘atta boy, and now you are
finally being vindicated.
Senator Inhofe: Well, on this thing, it is pretty serious. And since,
you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I’m the Ranking Member on
Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven
days when we go back into session a week from today that would change
this situation, I will call for an investigation. ‘Cause this thing
is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that
have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with.
Melanie Morgan: So what will you be calling for an investigation of?
Senator Inhofe: On the IPCC and on the United Nations on the way that
they cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was
settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not.
Jed Babbin: Should somebody stop further spending on this until we get
this investigation, Senator?
Senator Inhofe: Well, I don’t know how you do that, though, ‘cause
we’re not the ones that are calling the shots. The interesting part
of this is it’s happening right before Copenhagen. And, so, the
timing couldn’t be better. Whoever is on the ball in Great Britain,
their time was good.
Melanie Morgan: Well, Senator, thank you very much for coming back and
handling a little bit, a tiny little bit of heat from the kitchen.
Senator Inhofe: Okay.
Jed Babbin: Thanks very much Senator.
Senator Inhofe: Thanks, you bet.
Jed Babbin: Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma on the Environment
Committee over there, and one of the real fighters.
Melanie Morgan: He certainly is…
