The Senate’s top environmental job is set to fall to Jim Inhofe, one of the biggest names in US climate denial, but campaigners say Barack Obama will fight to protect his global warming agenda.

Oklahoma Republican Inhofe has been denying the science behind climate change for 20 years – long before it became a cause for the conservative tea party wing. Following midterm elections which saw the Republicans take control of the senate, he is now expected to become the chairman of the senate environment and public works committee.

Despite their upbeat postures, Tuesday’s results were a big setback for campaign groups which had invested an unprecedented amount in trying to elect pro-climate candidates to Congress.

The former hedge fund billionaire, Tom Steyer, spent nearly $75m on advertising and organising in only seven races, making him the biggest known single spender in these elections. Only three of his candidates won.

“There is no way to dance around the issue that in too many races we lost good allies,” Michael Brune, the director of the Sierra Club, told a briefing. “We see those people being replaced by people that are against our values.”

Will be interesting to see which policies BHO had in place to slow the oceans rise and cool the Earth that Inhofe gets rid of!

Since when is mindlessly falling in line considered a desirable value?

Do you mean that bought-and-paid-for "science" that told AleGore and the rest of the Kool-Aid drinkers (who were looking to make billions off this scam) that the polar ice caps would all be melted by 2013???

How'd that work out for the whackjob environazis???

What happened to the Koch Brothers? I guess this just goes to prove Harry Reid, and others, wrong on one more issue. Money doesn't always buy elections.
