The US Senate is holding an all night session on the Climate Crisis.

Several US Senators have presented an introduction to the session and explained very clearly their state's economy and food supply has been effected by warming oceans and the change in climate.

Senator Inhofe didn't hear what they stated. He simply decided to speak past them and rant on and on about nonsense. His statements are rhetorical, not based in fact, are old arguments, old statistics and completely obsessed with deny there exists a profound problem with Earth.. All the while blaming any change in climate on other nations. The USA is a first world nation that knows better than to point fingers and has been one of the largest greenhouse gas polluters since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The West is responsible for the problems we are facing today. Blaming is not denying. Denying is standing in the face of the scientists on Earth.

It is unfortunate a Senator can't accept the nation's responsibility for the condition of the world.

Oklahoma has now under gone two years of crop disaster. How can US Senators deny these problems within their own states?

Does Senator Inhofe not read newspapers from his own state? How can a US Senator look the other way when so many in his state are suffering?

PAWNEE COUNTY, Oklahoma

Any kind of moisture, even if it is snow, would be welcome for many people across Oklahoma. It's dangerously dry right now.

Pittsburg County Commissioners have a burn ban in place, effective until further notice.
And a Pawnee County water association that serves more than a dozen towns and rural water districts said it is in a critical emergency situation and could run out of water soon.
"I have worked here for 30 years and I've never seen [Lone Chimney] lake this low or conditions this serious," Paul Kinder said.
