#1 The two are polar opposites when it comes to climate change -- Mr. Inhofe has called global warming "the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people," while Mrs. Boxer has advocated efforts to significantly reduce greenhouse gases.

Let me just say that one could believe global warming is the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people and still advocate significantly reducing greenhouse gases.

#2 IMO a perfect analogy for those insistently clinging to idea that global warming is a human-induced phenomenon:

From a classic Peanuts strip (sorry, couldn't find the actual strip):

[Linus and Lucy walking down the sidewalk notice an object on the ground]

Lucy: Well, look here. A big yellow butterfly. It's unusual to see one of those at THIS time of year, unless of course, it flew up from Brazil. I'll bet that's it. They DO that sometimes, you know. They fly up from Brazil.

Linus: [Bending down for a closer look] That's no butterfly! That's a potato chip.

Lucy: Well, I'll be. I wonder how a potato chip got all the way up here from Brazil!

#3 Mrs. Boxer cited comments from oil and bank executives who say global warming is a real occurrence

#4 Global Warming results from the relentless dumbing down of the American Electorate and the destruction of the American educational system by leftists who have turned into a feel-good indoctrination system, not unlike madrassas.

#8 Still trying to get the Giant Sun to surrender to tiny Earth > you know, the reason why the Sun is the one and only decadent Elitist while Earth is not an elitist [wannabe].
