Following Up On the Senate Snowball

     If you read the my last post, you probably saw the video of Senator James Inhofe dismissing Climate Change  by showing everyone in the Senate Chamber a snowball. He insisted that because it snowed in DC, that global warming was not happening. As usual, the Senator (R-OK) was talking out of his ass by choosing to ignore data from his very own state.

     The Capital Weather Gang pointed out last month that while the polar vortex has descended on the Northeast, bringing record cold temperatures and snowfall, Senator Inhofe's home state of Oklahoma was breaking records for the hottest day ever recorded in January. That's right, temperatures in Oklahoma and throughout the Midwest were more than 30 degrees ABOVE normal, breaking records that have stood for over 100 years (or at least since records have been taken).

     Then, to my complete delight, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) took Inhofe to task. Whitehouse pointed out how many organizations and scientific societies accepted that climate change is real and were taking steps to deal with the repercussions. Senator Whitehouse pointed out that people like Inhofe ignore the facts and the actions being taken by companies like Ford and Miller Brewing company...shit, even Walmart accepts that climate change is happening!

     Senator Inhofe thinks God is going to fix all this for us. He better hope so, since the Senator from Oklahoma isn't doing anything to address it, besides attacking science and ignoring the best scientific minds in the world.
