CNN hits back at Sen. James Inhofe's speech earlier this week in which he challenged the media by claiming that, "During the past year, the American people have been served up an unprecedented parade of environmental alarmism by the media and entertainment industry."

Among CNN's best retorts to Inhofe's claims is this one: "Inhofe is all alone on Capital Hill these days, most Republicans believe that the scientific jury is in [on global warming]." Inhofe's Republican colleague, Rep. Christopher Shays states in the CNN rebuff that, "we have seen too much documentation to know that the world is getting warmer, we know that the ice shelves are melting and for him [Inhofe] to say otherwise just is like putting a bag over his head and not seeing it."
