Washington Post: SEN. JIM Inhofe (R-Okla.) chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee -- and he seems determined to make that fact a national embarrassment. Mr. Inhofe delivered a Senate floor speech about the hysteria on global warming last week with two conspicuous props. One was a blown-up photo of his family standing in front of an igloo labeled AL GORES NEW HOME.

Inhofe was in Tulsa getting spurs fastened onto a pair of boots. Theyre ostrich, said Inhofe (R-Okla.), the countrys most prominent climate-change denier, referring to his footwear.

Washington Post: There are a lot of words one could use to describe Sen. James Inhofes position on climate change, but some scientists and science communicators are most concerned with two of them: skeptic and denier. In a statement released this week, several dozen people from the science world asked the media to stop calling Inhofe (R-Okla.) and others who do not believe in the scientific evidence supporting climate change skeptics.
