James Inhofe, former Republican senator who called climate change a ‘hoax’, dies aged 89
Inhofe resigned as senator for Oklahoma in January 2023, suffering long-term effects of Covid-19.
His widely ridiculed snowball stunt came in 2015, during a rambling speech in which he claimed climate conditions on Earth were the work of a supreme being, and attempted to discredit a Nasa report that found that 2014 was the hottest year recorded globally to date.
“My point is, God’s still up there,” Inhofe said during a 2012 interview during promotion for his book focusing on global warming as “a conspiracy”.
“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.”
Following the scandal over US service members photographed abusing prisoners at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison in 2004, Inhofe said he “was more outraged at the outrage” than the torture of the inmates.
counterpoint: i’m still alive, so death isn’t happening
counter counterpoint: this guy’s fucking dead lmao
it’s a hoax! you can’t prove anything!
owned with facts and logic
I’m gonna be real right now
If this lathes out, I will bake you a pie
folks, death is cancelled and dessert is served
“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.”
I was brought up catholic and that’s left me with some lingering thoughts about concepts like stewardship and free will vs an omniscient god. It’s arrogant as fuck to think we can do whatever we want to creation without consequence, and the second fucking story in the bible is that we’re able to go against god’s wishes and fuck everything up.
Anyway rip in piss lmao
drag his corpse to congress to prove that death isn’t real

Fucking mask and we can outlive all these ghouls.
Seeing as he was already 88 (and still somehow in office!) when that happened, I’m not sure I’d put money on that.
They’re all racking up infections. Clock is ticking.
curious, every time a republican dies, they’re not in office anymore? Every time a democrat dies, there’s a office vacancy they apparently never thought to accommodate ahead of time
They’re stupid, but they plan ahead.
the paleocon political project is stupid but they are sincerely and doggedly dedicated to it
libs and neocons are in it for their own personal advancement, there is no need for succession planning because they nihilists who literally don’t care what happens after they’re gone
who cares he won
Should have brought a heartbeat as proof of being alive.
Rip in piss, dumbass.

I was gonna lament the fact that he (probably) didn’t die of heat exposure, but hey at least he had long COVID ig

89! eighty fucking nine!
any political ghoul please retire challenge (impossible)
giga-tangent with 10% relevance
It always makes me think of the first English pokemon opening where they say “you teach me and I teach you - Pokemon!” And it’s like these people aren’t ever mentors; why the fuck not?! Why don’t you ever teach? Why is Professor Oak in Paldea??? You’re telling me you didn’t bother to give Ash Ketchum a starter at any point during your decades of being a professor? You’d rather just die than cede your mission and style (AND YOU DO HAVE A MISSION AND A WAY OF DOING THINGS) to the next generation?
