Flags in Oklahoma remained at half-staff through Wednesday to mark the death of James Inhofe.
Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe reportedly tossed a snowball Thursday on the Senate floor while arguing against “the hysteria on global warming.” In representing the Sooner State for five terms, the former senator leaves us with a lasting example of how to advance conservative ideas against overwhelming odds.
“Climate modelers project all kinds of scary scenarios, and this allows the media to pick and choose which one they want to show,” the senator said. “Hysteria sells. … But if the observations of what is happening today are not consistent with what climate models predict, then we do know that our understanding of the globe is incomplete.”
His press office prepared copies of his remarks, which were always carefully documented so that the media and public could review the facts for themselves. He helped teach an entire generation about the other side of the story.
