Perhaps some of the region's climate-change deniers even readand believedan article appearing in The Forum ('Fargo-Moorhead will be in path of total solar eclipse in 2099'). To be specific, this eclipse will begin at 10:37 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 14, 2099.

That calculation is the result of engineering and astronomy, or in a word: science.

So, why might some climate-change deniers, such as Inhofe, blindly confess that God controls our climate, but then have no problem believing that mani.e., the scientific methodis capable of predicting celestial events decades away down to the very minute?

Follow the money. Citing Oil Change International, the website DeSmogBlog asserts that Inhofe has received more than $2 million in political contributions from the coal and oil industry. One of his top benefactors is Koch Industries ($77,550 since 1999). ExxonMobil has contributed more than $35,000 since 1999.

But Oklahoma is a long way from North Dakota. Surely, that type of financial support doesn't cloud our politicians' vision, right?

Well ... according to OpenSecrets.org, Sen. John Hoeven received $492,228 from the energy/natural resources sector (oil and gas, electric utilities and mining industries) during the 2015-2016 cyclean amount placing him among the top-20 recipients in Congress. At the same time, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp received $155,155 and Rep. Kevin Cramer received $337,200.

Oh, by the way, OpenSecrets.org says Inhofe received only $64,000 from the energy/natural resources sector during the same period.
