Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee.
Last winter he took to the Senate floor intending to dispute climate change, but instead revealed how uninformed he is and continues to choose to be.
He proudly stated as he brandished a snowball,
“In case we had forgotten, because we keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record, I ask the chair, do you know what this is? It’s a snowball, just from outside here. It’s very, very cold out.”
Mr. Inhofe then tossed his snowball at the Chair.
The senator showed that he does not understand that global warming is a long-term and worldwide trend. Being cold at one place on the Earth at one point in time does not disprove global warming and man’s involvement in helping it along.
Global warming is a long term condition while weather changes from day to day.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “If the land surface records were systematically flawed and the globe had not really warmed, then it would be almost impossible to explain the concurrent changes in this wide range of indicators produced by many independent groups.
The warming of the climate system is unequivocal.”
The 2000s had set a decadal temperature record, but Inhofe holds that
“The hoax is that there are some people who are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful, they can change climate. Man can’t change climate.”
Christmas was very warm in many places. Very unseasonable.
I was at my brother’s house for the day, and didn’t notice he had the living room windows open, and I was wearing a t-shirt.
He lives in New England, just south of Boston.
Will the good senator take to the senate floor and make a statement about this recent Christmas?
Or will he just accept that the unseasonably warm temperature was God’s gift to us all on His son’s birthday?
