Rot in hell.
Hopefully one where it will get gradually hotter for eternity.
Good
This is the best summary I could come up with:
James M. Inhofe, a five-term Republican senator from Oklahoma and, until President Donald J. Trump’s arrival in 2017, arguably Washington’s most prominent denier of the established science of human-generated climate change, died on Tuesday in Tulsa, Okla.
Mr. Inhofe furthered that position in a book, “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future” (2012), which offered political and economic arguments but little in the way of substantive scientific rebuttals to climate change.
In one widely publicized episode, complete with a photograph, Mr. Inhofe tossed a snowball to a colleague in the Senate on a cold February day in 2015, saying it served as evidence that the earth could not be warming dangerously.
As chairman or as the ranking Republican member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for many years, he spoke often against a growing scientific consensus that humans were fostering climate change by burning fossil fuels.
Under Mr. Pruitt, much of Mr. Trump’s environmental agenda, like undoing the agency’s clean air and water rules and pulling out of the Paris climate-change accord, was taken from Mr. Inhofe’s playbook on Capitol Hill.
No one was hurt, but the construction supervisor and the airport manager reported the incident to the Federal Aviation Administration, and Mr. Inhofe was ordered to take four hours of remedial flying instruction in lieu of punishment.
The original article contains 1,508 words, the summary contains 224 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Inconsequential power parasite dies. Anyway.
