Nov 12, 2014: MediaIte: ‘What Are You Talking About?’: Tapper Grills Sen. Inhofe on Climate Change Denial
CNN’s Jake Tapper appeared to catch Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) in a bit of a contradiction on Wednesday when he spoke to the likely new chair of Environment and Public Works Committee and avowed climate change denier about a new deal struck between the U.S. and China to reduce carbon emissions. Inhofe went on record saying he thinks China is getting off too easy in the deal, which led Tapper to ask, “Is that really your issue with the deal? I thought you didn’t think carbon emissions were a problem.”
