OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, who has called global warming a hoax, says he will block a bipartisan Senate bill that would limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, is Congress' most vocal skeptic of the idea that human activity is responsible for global warming.
Yesterday, during a lengthy speech on the Senate floor, he said the media, environmental groups and "Hollywood" liberals, among others, have exaggerated the causes and effects of global warming.
The Oklahoman reported on Inhofe's speech from its Washington bureau. Inhofe maintains that a growing number of scientists are agreeing with him and have questioned computer models used to predict future temperatures and water levels.
