In a show of protest of so-called anthropogenic global warming alarmism, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), an outspoken critic of the theory of global warming, threw a snowball on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

“Do you know what this is?” Inhofe said in his speech. “It’s a snowball. It’s just from outside here. So it’s very very cold out, very unseasonable. Mr. President, catch this.”

According to a report from National Journal, a Senate page caught the snowball.
