I saw this and thought I’d post a quick diary. Senator McConnell announced today that retired Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has died at the age of 89. He served in the Senate from 1994 until his retirement in 2023. He was a huge and outspoken climate change denier often claiming it a hoax.
From CNN:
*snip*
former chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, where he drew the ire of environmentalists over his denunciations of climate change as a “hoax”. He famously brought a snowball onto the Senate floor to argue against the existence of climate change.

I didn’t know much more about him other than I strongly disagreed with his politics, however I felt his passing should be at least mentioned here.
Feel free to discuss.
