“…my point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of peopleto think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in theclimate is to me outrageous”, states Senator
James Inhofe (R-OK), the new chairmen of the Environment and Public Works
Committee. I kid you not, that is exactly what he said in a Senate meeting in
February. Guess what else he did? He brought a snowball, yes a snowball, with
him to the meeting.
“…do you know what this is? It’s a snowball just from
outside here. So it’s very, very cold out. Very unseasonable.” - James
Inhofe 2015.
Why is this guy spewing nonsense when scientific facts show
contrary to his beliefs? I’ll take a wild guess and say he knows how to play
the game of politics. Between 2009 and 2014, Inhofe received over $450,000 from the Oil & Gas industries and over $250,000 from retirees. Politicians do whatever it takes to stay in office. This includes turning a blind eye to scientific evidence to please their constituents and campaign donors. The fact that nearly 50% of Americans do not believe in anthropogenic climate change does not help our cause.
