Global warming denier Jim Inhofe: ‘Fewer and fewer’ senators believe in climate change ‘hoax’

The U.S. Senate’s leading global warming denier says “fewer and fewer” of his colleagues believe in climate change.

~snip~

“They don’t get away with it in the eyes of the American people,” Inhofe said. “I find fewer and fewer members of the United States Senate that are sympathetic to this whole cause.”

If that is indeed the case, U.S. senators would be breaking with the general trend on climate change.

Recent polls have found that Americans increasingly believe that evidence supports global warming caused by human activity, albeit with a sharp partisan divide.

there's no money in it...

(I would suspect that our elected officials have stunted critical thinking skills -- had they been subjected to our corrupted system of public education. But, I'm tired of making excuses for their abysmal performance.)

Scientific evidence consistently finds that it isn't a fucking hoax. I am open to reconsidering my position if Inhofe will cough up sufficient evidence.
