Doolittle lies to children about global warming.

Doolittle lies to children about global warming.
Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) recently “paid a visit to students at Janesville Elementary School” in California last week and assured the seventh- and eighth-grade students that greenhouse gas emissions aren’t a problem: “I don’t think putting carbon dioxide into the air by man made energy sources is the problem, but I do think being held by unfriendly countries who have most of the worlds petroleum is a problem.” (The IPCC disagrees.)

Words like “clueless” and “moronic” come to mind, but they’re just not strong enough
June 6th, 2007 at 2:04 pmAnd if someone has oil they are unfriendly, by default.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:05 pmRep. John Doolittle (R-CA) recently “paid a visit to students at Janesville Elementary School†in California last week and assured the seventh- and eighth-grade students that greenhouse gas emissions aren’t a problem.
Is Janesville Elementary in Orange County, CA? Apparently, the folks down there believe that “Endless Summer†is not a problem.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:06 pmSlightly off topic, but environment related:
The landmark U.S. law to fight water pollution will now apply only to bodies of water large enough for boats to use, and their adjacent wetlands, and will not automatically protect streams, the U.S. government said on Tuesday.
Now the Clean water act only covers water ways big enough for commercial use.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:07 pmWait, if he believes it, it’s not lying. It can still be wrong, but it’s not lying.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:07 pmKnda like Chainee and his visit to the teenage Boy’s State luncheon a few days ago.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:07 pmThese guys can’t get speaking engagements with adults, and now they are targeting children.
There is something really, really wrong with suspect politicians even being allowed onto public school property, especially if they are promoting commercial/politico agendas.
“I don’t think putting carbon dioxide into the air by man made energy sources is the problem, but I do think being held by unfriendly countries who have most of the worlds petroleum is a problem.â€
He managed to hit on the “real” issue.
Idiot.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:10 pmI would bet those kids saw right through him. ‘Unfriendly countries’ . Firstly: whose oil is it? Secondly: why are they unfriendly?
United States: Dude get me another shot of the black stuff?
June 6th, 2007 at 2:11 pmWorld: I think you’ve already had enough - don’t you have any friends who can drive you home?
US: F*** you - now watch me trash this joint.
LandSurveyor
And if someone has oil they are unfriendly, by default.
So your saying we should invade Alaska?
June 6th, 2007 at 2:11 pm“…Kinda like Chainee…”
Uh, isn’t that spelled “Chaingangee”, heyzeus?
June 6th, 2007 at 2:11 pmLying to children is what Christianity is all about.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:12 pmJeez, what a buttmunch.
He’s blatantly saying what the Repukes all think.
Repukes are from Bizarro World. They are psychotic.
We need universal mental healthcare for Repukes.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:13 pmYeah, he’s wrong. He’s a moron. But he may not be lying in saying he believes this crap. He could be lying if he’s just mouthing things he does not believe for the good of campaign contributors, but we don’t really know that. So what I’m saying is, thanks for the report, and also we need to be a little more careful with our headlines so we don’t become Rush in order to counter Rush.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:14 pmWe are being held? They hold us? How do “they” hold us? Hostage? In contempt? In high esteem?
What a lame, ignorant maroooooon!
June 6th, 2007 at 2:15 pmwonder if anyone asked him if he’ll be going to jail soon?
just finished skimming the linked article- this guy should be banned from peaking to children. what a load of crap he shoveled them.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:15 pmDoolittle probably cruises the little boys room.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:17 pmThey let a GOP(ervert) liar around children for what reason? So he can spread more talking point GOP lies? Just for your knowledge, children are not a dumb as he thinks….hope they spit waded the criminal.
By the way those 7th & 8th graders are way, way smarter than our trolls on TP, Jake = 3rd grade mentality
Hating the Repukian Mafia daily
June 6th, 2007 at 2:18 pmThe guy most likely thinks that natural factors are a larger factor than greenhouse gasses to GW. Medieval Warm Period anyone?
How is he “lying” for giving his opinion? Is TP familair with the definition of the word?
TerrytheTurtle,
I suggest you stop using oil and disassociate yourself from anyone or anything that does. You wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite, would you?
June 6th, 2007 at 2:19 pm“….being held by unfriendly countries who have most of the worlds petroleum is a problem.â€
What does this mean? That global warming is caused by Iraq and Iran having more oil than we do? Does Doolittle have mad cow disease or what?
June 6th, 2007 at 2:19 pmSo your saying we should invade Alaska?
Comment by squegeebooo
One doesn’t normally invade one’s self, deary.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:27 pmYou know, for us Liberals and Democrats always claiming that we support our troops, I have seen no where in any left wing blog any type of tribute to our brave soldiers for June 6, 1944.
D-Day invasion of Europe.
So much for us supporting our troops, eh?
all talk and no muscle behind our cheap talk.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:28 pmZooey
One doesn’t normally invade one’s self, deary.
That’s why they’d never expect it.
Besides, they used to be Russian, and you can never trust a Commie.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:29 pmJeez the trolls are in here puking again.
Wish the ops would clean up the mess by throwing them out.
Doolittle is a crook. He took money from Abramoff.
Doolittle will eventually be spewing his global warming denial nonsense from a prison cell. Where he belongs.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:36 pmThe UN just came out with “Global Outlook For Ice and Snow”.
I’m printing out the whole thing right now and reading the summary while it prints.
This Doolittle cretin and his global warming denial pals are idiots.
They remind me of a polar bear on an iceberg that is getting smaller and smaller.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:38 pmMr President - we’re too engrossed in following the Turks while they stage a reenactment of D-Day…..
June 6th, 2007 at 2:40 pmWhen one of the blogs makes D-Day a topic, then we’ll discuss it.
Otherwise, the troll succeeds in throwing us off topic.
How can these Repuke idiots still be in denial on global warming??
The evidence is overwhelming. But then, these are the same brain-dead idiots who are in denial about evolution.
BTW, I’m watching The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan tonight in honor of our troops. My dad and grandpa both earned ETO medals.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:40 pmToliver. Yawn.

Add superstitionista, and evil to round out the list.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:47 pmBetter not exhale; you’re putting CO2 in the air.
June 6th, 2007 at 2:59 pm…but I do think being held by unfriendly countries who have most of the worlds petroleum is a problem.
Honestly! How dare they keep our oil under their sand?!?
</snark>
June 6th, 2007 at 3:00 pmWas he reading from “My Pet Goat”?
June 6th, 2007 at 3:03 pmThe guy most likely thinks that natural factors are a larger factor than greenhouse gasses to GW. Medieval Warm Period anyone?
How is he “lying†for giving his opinion? Is TP familair with the definition of the word?
Comment by Toliver — June 6, 2007 @ 2:19 pm
You’re right. He’s not lying. He’s just a science-denying moron spouting the talking points that have been spoon-fed to him by the oil lobby.
June 6th, 2007 at 3:07 pmm12 sez:
Better not type…you’re putting STUPID on the Internet.
June 6th, 2007 at 3:14 pmMy kingdom for a grassy knoll !!
June 6th, 2007 at 3:24 pmAlso - I wonder which unfriendly countries he means. Isn’t Canada our #1 source of oil imports?
June 6th, 2007 at 3:27 pmDoolittle is the perfect frontman for the Doo-nothing administration
June 6th, 2007 at 3:29 pmGotta “catapult the propaganda” while he can, before he goes to jail.
June 6th, 2007 at 4:07 pm#33
If you say so. Fortunately, stupidity isn’t taxed, else this entire website would be bankrupt.
June 6th, 2007 at 4:14 pmBetter not exhale; you’re putting CO2 in the air.
Comment by m12 — June 6, 2007 @ 2:59 pm
Yeah, CO2, already in the carbon cycle. As opposed to “fossilized” and *copious* quantities produced by fossil fuels. Then again, a methane producing sh*thead like yourself isn’t *prone* to science, you’re only *prone* for Jeff Gannon - right?
June 6th, 2007 at 4:16 pmIf you say so. Fortunately, stupidity isn’t taxed, else this entire website would be bankrupt. Comment by m12 — June 6, 2007 @ 4:14 pm
Thanks to your presence, and your fellow trolls - that *might* be true - dum bass!
June 6th, 2007 at 4:17 pmBeen to Canada recently? While they are not yet hostile, they are definitely fed up with the US (border behavior, rendering Canadian citizens for torture, soft lumber tariffs, Bill O’Reilly). Don’t piss them off - remember the South Park movie? They could burn Washington down again.
June 6th, 2007 at 5:35 pmJesus fukking Christ TP!!!! You did it again!!!!!
You must think that everyone here is retarded.
DOOLITTLE DID NOT LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He voiced is OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An indication of said difference would be the signifying phrase:
“I DON’T *THINK*”
jesus phucking christ.
June 6th, 2007 at 6:03 pmDoolittle speaks the truth. Wise man. And lucky kids.
How many scientists were involved with writing the IPCC 2007 statement? Not many.
Why? Well, not many are in consensus…
LMAO
This candid report confirms that the Statement For Policymakers was actually written with a small number of climate scientists. That such a small number of scientists are actually involved in the writing may make sense from the perspective of efficiency, but it also is guaranteed to result in a report that emphasizes the particular perspectives of the small group of scientists who wrote it. The biases that result would have been balanced if other climate scientists were able to write alternative perspectives, but this was not done. A “unanimous consensus†is hardly how science should be presented by a subset of the climate science community.
June 6th, 2007 at 6:21 pm“…but I do think being held by unfriendly countries who have most of the worlds petroleum is a problem.”
Why are Republicans so arrogant that they believe the U.S. has any right to be guaranteed something that belongs to another country?
June 6th, 2007 at 7:07 pmYeah, Doolittle didn’t lie. He truly is that stupid.
I imagine that will be his defense when he goes to trial for his share of the Abramoff scandal. “I don’t think it is wrong to take money as bribes, but is is wrong to be held to account for it.”
June 6th, 2007 at 10:20 pmHow many scientists were involved with writing the IPCC 2007 statement? Not many.
Comment by muckhead
The link provided by muckforbrains leads to a site that offers a link to an interview with that “well-known climate scientist” and former CEO of Halliburton Dick Cheney and another to an article in the Denver Times, which states,
June 7th, 2007 at 2:03 am“A full report that’s the basis for the summary was drafted by 154 lead authors and more than 450 contributing authors and runs to about 900 pages. ”
That seems to contribute muckhead’s “not many” assertion. Or isn’t a totla of 604 scientists enough for you, muck?
