Sheldon Whitehouse, the senator from Rhode Island, went on a nice 15 minute tirade about climate change, but he accidentally forgot to tell James Inhofe to eat shit. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”
Yes, that's got me wondering too. Here in the Granite State you have rock, rock, and more rock. You want a basement? Bring on the dynamite. How difficult can it be to dig in the Great Plains?
Hate to go against the grain, but last I checked, Montana forests weren't exactly "dying".
Yes, we have had some big fire years, and the Pine Beetle continues to be a problem, but by and large, our immense forest lands are not "dying".
F4th time's the charm.
Heat = Energy
It really is that simple.

You'd think a true conservative would be wary of abruptly changing the chemistry of the atmosphere for some minor short-term gain.
Sadder still, I'm sure there are some Republicans who do both.
For an oldz, it's still much cheaper than buying the equivalent coverage on the individual market.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW INHOFE?
Why should a senator form The Ocean State care about climate change and sea level rising?
Perhaps God is upset about Oklahoma wingnuttery.
Bravo
Oh, look at that. Montana gets a shout out...

And probably stupid. I'd guess that kids are in greater danger from guns for each hour they spend at home compared to school.
A thousand hands, with ballots in them, can do a hell of a lot too. I think that's what we need more than anything right now.
You go into an election with the orcs you have ...
(a) Because that venal, shameless fucker knows he's lying.
Shhh. He's on a roll.
