USA Today: denier James Inhofe ok

Sen. Inhofe (R, Oklahoma) continues to find a welcome home for his climate denialist rhetoric. In "Durban climate summit unlikely to get big commitments," (11/25/11) the Inhofe claim of an Obama EPA "job killing global warming agenda" receives huge coverage in the newspaper enjoying the second largest circulation in this country. Inhofe's denialist views are well documented in USA TODAY. Just last May, USA TODAY published an editorial by Inhofe, "All pain, no gain," blasting the "hysteria over global warming."List of Inhofe quotes in USA TODAY

More on Inhofe's climate myths (from SkepticalScience.com).

UPDATE: In Scientists warn of warming tipping point (12/1/11), USA Today quotes some of our top scientists but no climate deniers. Improvement indeed over above discussed article.
