United States senators are now on the record on the question of whether climate change is "a hoax."
The Senate on Wednesday passed a measure stating that "climate change is real and is not a hoax" by a margin of 98-1.
The amendment was designed in part as a jab at GOP Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who has questioned the science of climate change.
Inhofe voted for the measure, arguing that the true "hoax" is that climate change is the result of human activity.
"Climate is changing, and climate has always changed, and always will, there's archeological evidence of that, there's biblical evidence of that, there's historic evidence of that, it will always change," he said on the Senate floor. "The hoax is that there are some people that are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful that they can change climate. Man can't change climate."

Climate change is not a hoax. Cruz is right. Climate change is something that no one can dispute; its been verified throughout earths history!
*********************************
Also not a hoax: the Sun rises from the East; water is wet.
The Dims are idiots for wasting time on a frivolous bill like this, but they seem to think it’s a big win.
Obama should veto climate change, problem solved!
Totally true. Nor do I believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming.
However.. if millions of Americans descended on Washington to string up the 98 Senators that voted for it EVERY ONE of those politicians would immediately change their tune and say, "wait.. you're right.. that's what we meant."
Thus the duplicitous and treacherous nature of today's dangerous POLITICIANS and obvious ONE PARTY system.
Senator James Inhofe was very clear about this, on the Senate floor, and to the rest of the 98 Senators who voted for it ...
Quoting from another article, this is what he said ...
The hoax is that there are some people that are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful that they can change climate. Man cant change climate, Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said on the Senate floor.

FU Greenies!
LOL! This just strengthens my efforts to thwart the Greenies and Congress in any way I possibly can! Un-flippin'-believable!
“Next theyll vote that gravity is only a statistic.”
I proclaim from this day forth the Sun shall rise in the West and set in the East! It is now settled law!
Is EVERYONE insane? Good Lord!
It was the Republicans outmaneuvering the opposition
************
This was a trivial and meaningless “victory”. Its too bad the Republicans are not as clever or creative when it comes to dealing with far more substantive issues like the national spending, stopping executive fiat, reducing the size of government, fighting for the middle class, etc.
The GOP is long on words but short action. In 2016 all that will matter is RESULTS, and I doubt they will produce much of anything to inspire people to vote for them again.
Pubbies have blown chance after chance to stand up to Obama. They have a serious credibility problem.
Yes, liars will spread lies. Should that mute us from telling the truth?
The usual M.O. of this fellow... set up strawman, bash him to bits.
Standing up even for a token truth is a beginning. Since when did you get truth out of 98 politicians? Well you just did. Right here. Even if some did not know it.
I think someone wrote that it was a spoof - but it wasn’t written or mentioned as satire ....
He must have been twinged because he didn’t even bother correcting my misuse of “your” in place of “you are”. Perhaps the trap was too obvious ...
