I don't think you can deny that we are undergoing some kind of climate change. We can debate to what extent mankind's activities have brought this one, contributed to it, etc.

But wouldn't a sane, rational person (not Senator Inhoffe) ask themselves the following question? Assuming that we are undergoing some kind of climate change and the consensus among scientists is this will result in more severe weather, rising sea levels, etc. shouldn't humans at least think about reducing their activities that could exacerbate the situation?

I mean even on that level it is suicide by mankind not to try to reduce the negative effects of this change whether it is cyclical, etc. but just to bury your head in the sand and hope for the best is, well, Republican.
