Jim Inhofe is feeling the heat. With growing bipartisan support for the Lieberman-Warner America’s Climate Security Act, the Oklahoma Senator is more isolated than ever. At a hearing in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Wednesday Montana Democrat Max Baucus announced his support for the bill as did aluminum giant Alcoa. Republican members of the Environment Committee showed up in force for the hearing, but while many of them expressed opposition or concern about the Lieberman-Warner bill, only Inhofe questioned the need to take action to address global warming.

This didn’t stop Inhofe from spending two hours on the Senate floor yesterday repeating his claims that global warming is a hoax and attacking everyone from Al Gore and the United Nations to Leonardo DiCaprio and Dan Lashof of the "National Resources Defense Council." Apparently Senator Inhofe read my blog entry about EPA’s analysis of the Lieberman-McCain bill ("Cheap at Twice the Price") and took issue with my conclusion.

I’m honored.
