Inbred is an imbecile. He confuses specific weather with climate. Climate is a trend; specific weather is just a point in time on a historical trend. Inbred said that in the past three years, the winters had been rather rigorous in Oklahoma, implying that global warming is a "hoax". In the statistics-impaired world of Inbred, three data points constitute a trend... If stupidity were measurable, Inbred would be the benchmark unit. Sen. Inbred is an imbecile.
