Departing Republican attacks climate-change deniers in own party
Unburdened by the prospect of another campaign, Inglis, in this final hearing, spared no scorn for climate change deniers in his own party and beyond, suggesting that they continue to ignore global warming at their own peril. "I would also suggest to my free enterprise colleagues – especially conservatives here—whether you think it's all a bunch of hooey, what we've talked about in this committee, the Chinese don't," the South Carolina Republican said in his opening remarks. "And they plan on eating our lunch in this next century."

Inglis' remarks stood in stark contrast to those of 87-year-old Texas Republican Rep. Ralph Hall, the leading candidate to take the House Science and Technology gavel in the next Congress, who took a potshot at the White House's use of the term "global climate disruption" and said that "reasonable people have serious questions about our knowledge of the state of the science."
In light of those comments and pledges by other incoming committee chairmen to probe the science of climate change, Inglis had pointed advice for climate scientists.
"I encourage the scientists that are listening out there to get ready for the hearings that are coming up in the next Congress," he said. "Those will be difficult hearings for climate scientists. But I would encourage you to welcome those as fabulous opportunities to teach. Don't come here defensively. Say, 'I'm glad to have an opportunity to explain the science.'"
Inglis said that advice was informed by his experience on a congressional delegation to Antarctica a few years ago, where he encountered "master teacher" Donal Manahan, a marine biologist at the University of Southern California.
