Climate change the cause of recent extreme weather, scientists tell congress

And of course, the far-right nuts running the Republican party just had to weigh in.

In one of the liveliest exchanges, Bernie Sanders of Vermont continued his effort to take down Inhofe for his statements that climate change is a hoax and a conspiracy.

Sanders asked the scientists on the panel for their opinions on some of Inhofe's more notorious assertions – that climate change is a hoax, that the planet is actually in a state of cooling, and that such environmental concerns were a conspiracy by the UN, Al Gore, and Hollywood.

The scientists did not support Inhofe's claims.

And we all know who the Republicans really mean when they say "Hollywood." That would be the folks Mitt Romney admires for their innate ability at "business."  And their horns.
