Inhofe (R-Laputa) Claims He Never Called Warming A "Hoax": It's In The Title Of His FUCKING BOOK
This just in: The author of “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future” says he never said global warming was a hoax. That would be Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, who still is not interested in doing anything about the problem, even if it isn't a hoax, which is how he, or someone, describes it in the title of the 2012 book that bears his name.
He is among growing ranks of Republicans cited by The New York Times who now acknowledge climate change. Still, admitting climate change exists is scary enough for these latecomers. They want to do nothing about it. Well, not nothing, exactly. The Times reports that Republicans are inclined to “prepare communities to cope” with a climate situation that saw the hottest July on record, with thousand-year drought conditions, unspeakable storms, and wildfires without precedent.
There’s “future” implied by the word “prepare,” but as Sen. Rick Scott, the Florida Republican, told the Times on actually mitigating that which threatens the planet’s future: Nah. “I’m not doing anything to raise the cost of living for American families,” he said. You mean like what a thousand-year drought might do for food prices? Like what superstorms and sea-level rise do to Florida condos?
“Nah” is what most Republicans said to President Biden’s ultra forward-looking infrastructure bill, which the Brookings Institute calls a “generational investment” in making this country “more inclusive, environmentally resilient and industrially competitive.”

Americans know that Republicans have always lied about climate change, just as they have always lied about the covid pandemic killing so many thousands of Americans who listened to the Republican lies. Sad and shameful.
