"I think I was right on that ... It's not whether or not we're going into a global warming period. We were. We're not now. You know, God's still up there. We're now going through a cooling spell."
-- Sen. James Inhofe, in an Oct. 7 debate with Democratic challenger Andrew Rice, defending his notorious assertion that climate change is "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people"

Still, excellent clip. I love the part where Inhofe says, "I actually believed that manmade gases caused global warming... Until we found out what it would cost us if we conformed with Kyoto."
He goes on to explain what he means by that, but taken out of context, it's a beautiful illustration of exactly what his priorities are.

Kind of ignoring that those two years had a rather strong positive and negative el nino cycle.
