Utah Assembly Passes Resolution Denying Climate Change
cowtamer writes "The Utah State Assembly has passed a resolution decrying climate change alarmists and urging '...the United States Environmental Protection Agency to immediately halt its carbon dioxide reduction policies and programs and withdraw its "Endangerment Finding" and related regulations until a full and independent investigation of climate data and global warming science can be substantiated.' Here is the full text of H.J.R 12." The resolution has no force of law. The Guardian article includes juicy tidbits from its original, far more colorful, version.
They should do the same with gravity. Instandly they will have flying cars.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
I say we let Texas invade Utah, then let them both secede.

I deny that as a species we pump way too much crap into our atmosphere.
Good heavens. As it turns out, you were incorrect. There is denying of it. I wonder what else you're wrong about.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense!
Why would a Wookiee -- an eight foot tall Wookiee -- want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!
But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what does that have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major state, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must deny climate change! The defense rests.
Utah Assembly confirms that water is not wet anymore.
Of course. When was the last time you heard someone described as a religious mastermind?

WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a blend of government officials and scientists, does no independent climate research but relies on global climate researchers;
What do you propose to collect independent data from 1950 to 2010? Time travel? Of course you have to rely on global climate researchers.
I prefer to get my climate change research from elsewhere.
On a related note, I motion to vote on a resolution decrying Utah.
But effects that aren't homogeneous and monotonic are hard to understand!
As a Texan, I have been alarmed at the recent increase of the rate of retardedness coming out of my state. Let me be the first to say: I'm glad that this ridiculous news wasn't out of Texas this time. Thank God.
A "full and independent investigation" is exactly what the EPA tried to do. Problem is that everyone is on the planet. Good luck finding sentient beings to do an 'independent investigation' of our planet. Anyone else has a stake in this one way or the other because they live here.
Utah is just saying they want us to go back to the moon, and possibly to mars to build a colony to do an independent investigation. I fully support Utah's support of our manned space program, even if they are doing it in a strange manner.
I put on my robe and wizard hat..
Down here in Texas we don't use no high falutin' government assemblage, we use horse sense. The horses tell us it's cold out, so there can't be no climate change.
Damn liberal elitists.
Of course, the vast majority of scientists are trying to deceive us. The oil companies are right, but they don't have enough money to fight the global coalition of evil scientists. We all know environmentalists are extremely wealthy and they will buy the scientific community to say whatever fits their evil, hidden agenda. Of course, nobody knows what's this "agenda" we're talking about but that doesn't matter. It's evil.
The poor oil companies don't have a chance.
Apparently neither did the committee, but it didn't stop them having an opinion about it.
