.MaddowBlog: One of American politics’ most enthusiastic climate deniers is exiting the stage: Two years after getting re-elected, James Inhofe is giving up his seat.
Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma — at the time, the chair of the committee overseeing environmental policy — presented the snowball to his colleagues, before tossing it to an aide, as part of his case against the climate change. As the Oklahoman saw it, snow in Washington, D.C., in February was evidence that the planet isn’t warming.
The incumbent GOP senator cruised to a landslide re-election victory just two years ago, and his current term isn’t set to end until 2026. Inhofe, who’ll turn 88 in the fall, is nevertheless exiting the stage, confirming weeks of Capitol Hill scuttlebutt.
