Republicans Still Don't "Get" Global Warming

Former Republican Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee believes that Global Warming is a partisan lie. In response to former Vice President and environmentalist Al Gore's request to hold a concert to promote Global Warming Awareness on the Steps of the United States Capitol. “There has never been a partisan political event at the Capitol, and this is a partisan political event,” said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK).

It is incredible that the Republican Party still has not seen the writing on the wall with the drastic changes in our environment and repeatedly denies their existence. To sweep this issue under the rug as partisan is unfair. One thing that is so promising, and scary, about Global Warming is that it inherently involves world cooperation because air does not limit itself to recognized borders. Science has proven Global Warming's detrimental effect to our climate, and exchanging majority documented evidence for partisan bickering is only an excuse for the Republicans to appease their buddies in "big oil".

Even in bipartisan efforts, the Republicans are unwilling to compromise. All this issue is is a way to have partisan leverage over our Democratic party rather than do something that can help out county, and in my eyes, that is wrong.
