Senator Inhofe may be the world's biggest skeptic when it comes to climate change. In 2012 he even wrote a book, The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future. Inhofe claims the U.N. created the global warming hoax. No, I'm not kidding.
Apparently it's a hoax 97% of the world's scientists have been fooled by. Go figure! Who'da thunk Senator Inhofe would be so much smarter than all those scientists, their fancy degrees, and years of research? Isn't he amazing, though.
Why is Inhofe so sure global warming is a hoax? Because God. Yep, here's a quote from an appearance Inhofe had on a Christian radio program in 2012 while hawking his ridiculous book:
...the Genesis 8:22 that I use in there is that ‘as long as the earth remains there will be seed time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night,’ my point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.

So, see? God's on it! People can't be creating climate change because that would be God's job! Just like wars, and world hunger, and the recession. We mere humans are not important enough to do something like create global warming, therefore, there is no global warming. It's all a hoax.
Whew. And here I was so worried about shrinking ice caps, the disappearance of glaciers, the rising of the oceans, and the polluted atmosphere. We can all relax and let Jesus take the wheel.
What in the hell are Oklahomans thinking voting for this idiot?
Unfortunately, Senator Inhofe will shortly have the power to do untold damage because even though he's clearly clueless about science, he will have a lot of power in Congress. I hope he's still alive to see Manhattan go underwater because of rising sea levels, or see wars start over food. I doubt even if he did he'd realize how wrong he is now.

We know there are atheists already in Congress; they just can't "come out" of the religious closet. Maybe what we need are more of us... people who realize that destroying the planet for the sake of getting reelected is immoral. People who understand that clean air and clean water are worth fighting for. We don't need an imaginary deity to tell us that. It's a moral thing.
