Climate Change denial based on Genesis?

Senator Inhofe
A climate change denier
Based on Genesis?

He argues simply
Genesis eight, twenty-two
Guarantees climate

"While the earth remains
Seedtime, harvest, cold and heat,
Seasons, days and night"

Will not ever cease"
Inhofe thinks this guarantees
That climate won't change

He ignores context
In this passage of Scripture
The flood has ended

God is promising
Not to destroy the whole earth
Complete with rainbow

There is no promise
That we cannot screw it up
And change the seasons

Even Inhofe must
Recognize bad stuff happens
Even in Scripture

In one case, Jacob
And his entire family
Must go to Egypt

A drought in the land
Changes their local climate
The result?  Famine

Such cases abound
Even though God made an oath
After the rainbow
