James Infhofe is chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Direct quote from the chairman:
"Well actually the Genesis 8:22 that I use in there is that 'as long as the earth remains there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.' My point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous."
This "unassailably correct" stance, that it's both arrogant and outrageous to be even skeptical of his view, renders him unfit to run the committee.
