Sen. James Inhofe may be the leading Republican anti-science climate change-denying religious fanatic, and he’s proud of it.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) sees criticism of him in a recent documentary about climate change as a badge of honor.

He’s among the targets in “Greedy Lying Bastards,” a recent film that claims to document fossil fuel industry-backed efforts to sow doubt about climate science and thwart emissions curbs.

“I was not surprised to see myself front and center on the promotional material for this climate-change movie, and quite frankly, I’m proud of it,” Inhofe told Tulsa World.

Sen. Inhofe is an ongoing embarrassment to the United States — a demagogue in the pocket of the energy industry, actively working to keep Americans blind to the terrible threat of global warming. A truly awful person.
