In a speech given to the US Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works on July 28, 2003, entitled «The Science of Climate Change», [14] Senator James Inhofe (Republican, for Oklahoma)
concluded by asking the following question: «With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man - made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people?»
The test presents several reading passages, chiefly related to the corrections position,
followed by a set of
questions that may
ask what can be
concluded or supported
by the passage, or what can not.
