Despite millions spent to make climate change a wedge issue during the midterms, environmentally friendly candidates didn’t fare well on Election Day.

Green groups funneled an unprecedented amount of money into top Senate races that determined control of the upper chamber but fell short.

Couldn't happen to a better group.

I read that Tom Steyer donated over $40M to global warming cult backers this election.

Oh dear, they got a cold shoulder.

They're losing faster than the mythical retreating glacier.

Get ready for the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth:

Climate Denying Senator Inhofe Will Soon Chair Environment Committee

by Matt Wilstein | 1:03 pm, November 6th, 2014

If you thought the Republicans taking over the Senate would not have any tangible impact on business as usual in Washington, consider this: Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), author of the book The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future, is most likely going to become chairman of Environment and Public Works Committee.

The Washington Post is reporting that Inhofe is on track to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) as head of the committee that deals with issues like regulating pollution and carbon emissions. Aside from believing man-made climate change is a “hoax,” Inhofe has also written that “global warming alarmists are set to destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs and significantly raise energy prices for families, businesses and farmers, basically anyone who drives a car, uses heavy machinery, or flips a switch.”

BTW, he's also a private pilot, which means that he personally burns copious amounts of leaded 100 octane aviation gasoline (without ethanol). Damn; that ought to send the environmentalists into fits of apoplexy!
