During a conference call held after he sewed up the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate race in Indiana, Mourdock made his views on global warming crystal clear: “We are basing our energy
policy on the greatest hoax of all time, which is that mankind is changing the climate.” That’s quite a hoax, given that it has apparently been joined by all the top climate scientists at
