Especially Republican James Inhofe.
The leading global warming skeptic in the U.S. Senate shocked reporters in Copenhagen with a dose of American reality with his prediction Thursday morning that the U.S. Senate will not pass a carbon 'cap and trade' bill, regardless of the commitment President Obama is expected to make here tomorrow.
"I am here to make sure the 190 countries here don't go home with the false impression," said sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla. "The United States is not going to pass cap and trade. It just isn’t going to happen. Its chances are zero."
Inhofe said just 25 Senators would support the type of carbon reduction bill already passed in the House.
Democratic leaders, including Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., disagree, and predict the Senate will pass such a bill this spring.
Inhofe disputes Kerry's math.
