James ("Know how to make a snowball?" Inhofe is saying: "What does it matter that 97% of climate scientists* believe that the climate is radically and dangerously changing due to man-made causes? . . . It doesn't prove anything that July was the warmest month in the entire history of such record keeping! . . . Who cares if the species-extinction rate is dramatically accelerating? . . . Listen to sense for once. . . . It snowed in January, didn't it?"
****************************************************************
* The 97% figure is not antidotal. This percentage is listed on the NASA site ( http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ ), so change deniers have to believe at 97% of scientific professional who have dedicated their lives to understanding of the physical universe (often initiated in adolescence) can be coerced into subverting their very beliefs for grants and tenure, or they have to believe NASA is "in the tank" as well. True skeptics can be won over by such simple and clear observations.

If I for a second looked at the scientific evidence then I might make informed choices that would ruin my perfect record. I want to be known as a man that didn't give a fuck for my fellow man. Not just now in the present where I hate you and hope you fucking die, but all the future generations too. Dear children of the future-fuck you. No seriously fuck you. You can't make me care. If god had an asshole, I'd be it.

But in his eyes it's only the privileged few that matter anyway.
