Obit: Longtime one-time Oklahoma U.S. Senator James Inhofe, 89, who denied there was any such thing as climate change, has died. He died following a stroke.
Snip:
Inhofe's views often reflected the extreme leanings of his party. He was intensely homophobic (in opposing same-sex marriage, he once boasted to the Senate that in the "recorded history" of his family "we've never had a divorce or any kind of a homosexual relationship"), he was rabidly pro-gun (he once blamed mass shootings on "permissive laws" in sanctuary cities) and opposed abortion rights.
But Inhofe was best known for his zealous denial of the climate crisis and that human activity was its primary driver. (The New York Times reported, "Mining, oil, gas, coal and utility interests were generous contributors to Mr. Inhofe’s Senate campaigns.") Inhofe called climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” In 2015, when he was chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, he infamously took a snowball onto the Senate floor during a snowstorm, ostensibly to demonstrate that global warming was not real.
In other words, he was on the take from corporate and rich interests. Call me shocked.
