A C-SPAN clip of Senator James Inhofe displaying and tossing a snowball on the Senate floor, used as an argument against global warming.

HN commenters invoke it as a shorthand example of climate denial in politics, in threads about climate records and policy, usually critically.

You act like climate change is widely accepted in America. Ten years ago we had the “snowball in the Senate “ ▶ this video

Yeah, GP's comment is on the same level as the senator who tried to disprove global warming by showing everyone a snowball. ▶ this video

You don’t need to convince 8 billion people. You simply need to convince the handful of people in charge. Unfortunately, this climate change thing really throws some of those people: ▶ this video “Here’s a snowball, it’s very cold out…” We send some pretty low IQ people to DC.

Nah, they’re climate change “alarmists”. People ignore them. It doesn’t change anyone’s mind. ▶ this video link Companies do make more promises they can’t keep. link

This is a man elected to the US Senate in 1994. First elected to Cross in 1987. Still there today. Guess which political party he belongs to. ▶ this video Folks are literally about to be put on respirators denying they're sick from Covid. They're rarely if ever left wing. link So yeah, one side has the lion's share of denying climate change and Covid. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to research which demographic has been promoting the consumption of urine as a protective measure against a respiratory and vascular disease-causing virus. It may be popular to blame politicians, but people need to take responsibility for voting for folks that espouse belief in Jewish space lasers. Whether you think the politician is putting up a front or honestly believes what they're peddling really doesn't matter in the long run if you're filling in the box next to their name on the ballot.

@city412021 · in “It’s official: July was Earth’s hottest month on record”

I think "climate change" is the best general term of the bunch. "Global warming" makes people think it's all bunk whenever it gets cold. Hell, a US Senator once brought a snowball onto the senate floor to "prove" it's all fake. ▶ this video
