Environmental issues Inhofe, former chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, does not believe that human activities cause climate change.[32] In The Republican War on Science, Chris Mooney stated that Inhofe "politicizes and misuses the science of climate change".[33] On the other hand, Inhofe's view on climate change have been praised by Australian geophysicist and climate change skeptic Bob Carter, who says that Inhofe "has been instrumental in making sure that some of the other side of the story on climate change remains in the public domain."[34]

Inhofe often repeats his claim that human influenced climate change is a hoax and impossible because “God’s still up there.” and that it is “outrageous” and arrogant for people to believe human beings are “able to change what He is doing in the climate.
