Just because it’s chilly outside at this time doesn’t imply that international warming is hoax. That’s the message that Jon Stewart attempted to get across throughout the first Daily Exhibit of 2014 ultimate evening, and one who MSNBC’s Alex Wagner endured Tuesday afternoon when she addressed up to date “local weather alternate denier” feedback made through Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK).

Wagner remarked that “there is one thing chilly weather never fails to bring out,” before taking part in a montage of contemporary local weather alternate denials that led to Inhofe’s statement from the Senate floor that the evidence of world warning is “almost laughable.” As for his evidence that it’s now not taking place? Al Gore as soon as held a local weather change rally on a very chilly day in New York City.

“In keeping with the logic of the prestigious gentleman from Oklahoma, if the planet is getting warmer, how can it probably be chilly out?” Wagner stated, sooner than explaining that the science is a little more sophisticated than that. One thing that Inhofe not noted to mention is his Senate speech, however Wagner discovered relevant was the truth that in 2011 Oklahoma had the hottest summer season ever recorded in U.S. historical past.

“Issues are becoming worse,” Wagner mentioned of climate alternate. “What number of extra sweltering summers must Oklahoma suffer thru sooner than Senator Inhofe finally feels the heat?”
