Sen. Boxer to climate change deniers: ‘You are endangering humankind’ - The Hill's E2-Wire

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) blasted skeptics of climate science Wednesday, alleging they are “endangering humankind.”

“The message I have for climate deniers is this: you are endangering humankind,” Boxer said during a press conference in the Capitol. “It is time for climate deniers to face reality, because the body of evidence is overwhelming and the world’s leading scientists agree.”

Boxer also dismissed a series of hacked emails that Republicans and others say show climate scientists hiding data that raises questions about global warming. An initial batch of emails was released in 2009 and additional documents came to light last month.

Several investigations have concluded that the emails do not indicate that climate scientists were suppressing information.

"The emails stolen in 2009, which included personal communications and gossip, were thoroughly studied, reviewed, investigated, and were found not to undermine the consensus on climate change in any way," Boxer said. "The most recent set of emails also appear to be more of the same."

Inhofe to climate conference: Nobody’s listening any more « Hot Air

Fast forward two years.  We have Climategate 2.0 accompanying another UN conference on climate change, this time in Durban.  The one big difference?  The White House has completely ignored it.  Senator Inhofe sends his greetings to the Durban conference and gleefully points out that they have become irrelevant

There are 570 results over the last 24 hours for "Barbara Boxer" only 7 for "James Inhofe" (google news feed)
and yet I find this.

Wapo: Inhofe, Boxer duel over climate change via video.

I was looking for the video of Babs mouthing these stupidities, but it's nowhere to be found (still looking). Maybe it only exists on a South African pay per view feed.

You would think a duel of videos would feature an actual "duel of videos", but at the Wapo all we get is spin, misdirection, and subterfuge.

They sure don't want that video out for the public consumption. Tell us everything we need to know about her position.
Crooked as hell.
