Inhofe: "We were being hit by tornadoes long before anyone talked about climate change, and even before it was called 'global cooling,' before it became 'global warming,' and then 'climate change'"

Inhofe: Climate Change Advocates Do 'Disservice' to Tornado Victims

Those who tried to link last week's Oklahoma tornado to climate change "do a great disservice to those who have experienced this tragedy," Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe told Newsmax.

In an exclusive interview, the senior senator from the Sooner State took time from his family's Memorial Weekend picnic to voice anger with those who claim the tornado that devastated part of his state was somehow due to climate change.

As Inhofe put it, "The liberal media is trying to exploit a tragedy to advance and expand its own agenda. And, believe me, the victims all know this."

Inhofe pointed out that Oklahoma has had a long history of deadly tornadoes.

"We were being hit by tornadoes long before anyone talked about climate change, and even before it was called 'global cooling,' before it became 'global warming,' and then 'climate change,'" Inhofe said. "The same thing that happened last week happened 14 years ago, 25 years ago, and 30 years ago."
