Colbert Mercilessly Mocks Republican Climate Change Deniers

The majority of Americans actually do recognize that climate change is occurring and is an issue, even in the red state of Florida, over 7 in 10 voters are concerned about climate. However, not all Republicans are willing to say that climate change is occurring, let alone an issue.

Oklahoma Senator James Inhoffe, even claims that facts generally accepted about global warming as true are a hoax.

Inhofe stands very likely to take over the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, leaving Colbert with a very important message for the young members of his audience.

"Remember kids, if you get unhooked on science early, maybe someday you could completely lack any understanding of science, and then grow up to be the Chairman of the Senate Environmental Committee."
