Dem: Believe science or ‘senator with the snowball’ | TheHill

"Inhofe threw the snowball as part of an effort to dismiss climate change. The Oklahoma Republican said the snowball was from outside in Washington, using cold weather to argue against claims that greenhouse gases are behind an increase in the earth’s temperature.

"'It’s a snowball. And it’s just from outside here. So it’s very, very cold out. Very unseasonable,' Inhofe said. "
