Senator Jim Inhofe, exhibiting his ignorance about climate and weather, stood in the Senate chamber with a snowball, and thinking himself clever, attempted to prove that climate change was a hoax because he had a snow ball.
He has no idea that climate is worldwide, while weather is regional, and that you have to look at the whole picture to understand the situation.
Yes, we have had a lot of snow this year. But, how are conditions in other parts of the world?
What is happening that the Polar Vortex is being drawn further south?
Just as with having the majority vote on who gets what people claim are the unalienable rights that all men are endowed with by their creator, people like Jim Inhofe believe that science has to be subject to a vote of the people.
If he had been Queen Isabella, instead of paying to have Christopher Columbus sail off to prove the world was round, he would have had people vote on that, and if they decided it was flat, she could have saved a lot of time and money, and the Native Americans would have gotten a break.
But when it comes to the science of climate change, Senator Inhofe would rather rely on his interpretation of the Bible as opposed science because, as he said,
“I take my religion seriously. This is what a lot of alarmists (that’s his term for “scientist”) forget: God is still up there, and He promised to maintain the seasons and that cold and heat would never cease as long as the earth remains.”
He has stated that his favorite Bible verse backs him up.
Genesis 8:22: As long as the earth remains there will be springtime and harvest cold and heat, winter and summer
“The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous,” he has said.

Many people suffer from the problem of constipation. viagra without prescription deeprootsmag.org He seems to be of that school of thought that holds that man has such dominion over the earth that we can do to what we will, and that God will be there to correct any of our mistakes.
A very helpful tool in abrogating responsibility.
But if, as he says, “I take my religion seriously”, then he would not be so quick s to ignore that according to the Bible we are supposed to take care of the earth, or else.
Isaiah 24:4-6
The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the heavens languish with the earth. The earth is defiled by its people. they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.
Jeremiah 2:7. “I brought you into the fruitful land to eat its fruit and its good things. But you came and defiled My land, And My inheritance you made an abomination”.
Luke 16:2,10,12. “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?”
Leviticus 25:23-24 “The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants. Throughout the country that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land”.
Ezekial 34:2-4 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally”.
Jeremiah 2:7 “I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land and made my inheritance detestable”.
Revelation 11:18 ” The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great — and for destroying those who destroy the earth”.
And I found those during a five minute search. Certainly Senator Inhofe could have found them in his life of religiosity.
