Inhofe's Snowball Stunt Mocked by Obama During Speech Urging Climate Action

摘要

President Barack Obama criticized the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for minimizing "profound and dangerous" changes in the climate by tossing a snowball on the Senate floor during winter as evidence that global warming is a hoax. Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Rutgers University, Obama invoked Sen. James Inhofe's (R-Okla.) February 2015 act as a reason why young people must "insist upon and shape an informed debate." They must also hold their elected leaders accountable if those lawmakers don't acknowledge scientific consensus, he said.
