Imhofe and his ignorant ilk's environment is one of greed, dirt and short-sighted selfishness.
"The gulf between that comprehensive analysis of the costs and tradeoffs for a climate change response sufficient to the challenges, and Snowball Jim's clown act, is a virtual chasm."
A thought of millions of us before 2010 - rooster, it looks another another bs skeptic headline...

The First Victims of Climate Deniers Are Their Own Kids
Stop talking about the children and grandchildren paying the price of wrecking the planet. Here is the peril facing five states and the men who have betrayed their own families.

Warnings about the imminent perils of climate change always include the trope that our children and grandchildren will pay the price of our neglect, indifference or denial.
Isn’t it obvious? But, once uttered, the charge tends to glide away without becoming assigned in a way that lands on anyone’s conscience. The familiar narrative unspools through many alarming details of the coming apocalypse until concluding with variations on the same phrase: “Climate change is real and the effects are terrifying.”
For some reason the personal responsibility involved has been deflected by the generality of the charge—“our children and grandchildren” defines a collective casualty without names attached.
Since the world embraced the industrial revolution there has never been a graver, more merciless case of get rich now and screw the consequences. What we confront is one of the most consequential of human failings and one of the most familiar—the inability of one generation to accept responsibility for the well-being of the next.
Right now the deniers (mostly serving the fossil fuel interests) are winning, as Donald Trump dismantles regulations. Until 2018 carbon dioxide emissions—a significant factor in global warming—had been steadily falling in the U.S. for 13 years. But last year they suddenly bumped back up 3.4 percent—industrial emissions were actually up by 5.7 percent.
So let’s make it personal. Here are five states where leading politicians are climate change deniers and each of these men has children, in some cases grandchildren. Their states are already experiencing some of the serious early effects of changing climate. (The predictive climate data that follows is drawn from Environmental Protection Agency annual state impact reports, unless otherwise stated, and storm damage details from contemporary news coverage.)
