You’d think that the Senate would be one of the chief contributors to global warming (what with all that hot air). However, it seems there is at least a willingness to question the status quo on the topic. How widespread this is remains to be seen, however.

UPDATE 09/26/06 1.24PM: I also found an interesting little graph here that compares carbon dioxide concentrations in the air with global temperature over the past 600 million years. (See the bottom of the page). It doesn’t look to ME like those two are related the way people seem to be claiming.

UPDATE II 09/28/06 11.31PM: It seems the Senator’s speech has touched a nerve in some quarters — some people are furious that the status quo is being challenged. Kudos to Senator Inhofe for having the guts to stand up and present the opposing view.

Well, this is slightly unnerving. Hopefully the Bush administration has been doing more about this than just hiding it from the public. The Cold War may be over, but we don’t just have to worry about terrorism these days — states such as Iran, North Korea, and China can also be threats, and are likely to be much more dangerous threats than small independent terror groups.
