Senator Inhofe talks to a polar bear:

First a beetle, then a polar bear. Last week, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe criticized environmental laws protecting the American burying beetle, an insect on the endangered species list but relatively common in Oklahoma. On Monday, Inhofe went toe-to-toe with a polar bear. Speaking at the Tulsa Press Club’s Page One Luncheon, Inhofe arrived to find Jean McMahan Green in the front row. Green, a regular fixture at political events in recent months, dresses as a polar bear to draw attention to global climate change. Inhofe invited Green to stand, then repeated his assertion that science does not support the notion of global climate change. He also said the biggest threat to polar bears is overpopulation.
