James Inhofe: Al Gore Is Right, Obama’s Bailed On Talking About The Environment
Evan McMorris-Santoro | June 30, 2011, 10:38AM
One of America's foremost climate change skeptics, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) says Al Gore (one of the nation's foremost climate change believers) is right in saying that President Obama has backed off when it comes to selling climate change to the electorate.
Inhofe says climate skeptics like him are partially responsible for the change. And he also warns that the shift is only skin-deep.
Inhofe was scheduled to give the keynote opening address at the Annual International Conference on Climate Change hosted by the Heartland Institute, an organization devoted to shooting down the accepted scientific view that human behavior is altering the climate.
Inhofe is a regular in these circles, but not today. He couldn't make the conference, citing health reasons. Instead he sent over a statement read from the podium to the several hundred climate change skeptics gathered in Washington Thursday.
