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.

    You obviously have no clue about "mormonism." Mormons have not practiced polygamy since the 1800s. Get an education man! http://www.mormon.org/

    Yes, we'd certainly like to hear what one of us has got to say...

    Erik, Sven, Sven's dad and Harald struggle out of the Great Hall, carrying their belongings and the Horn Resounding, while the citizen is still speaking most articulately in support of the King. They are ALMOST in a panic.

    ERIK

    What are you all doing?

    CITIZEN AT THE BACK

    (cheerfully)

    It's all right. It's not happening.

    ERIK

    (urgently)

    The place is sinking!

    CITIZEN AT THE BACK

    Yes... I thought it was too, but the King's just pointed out that it can't be.

    CITIZEN

    (still speaking in support of the King) ...and, of course, we mustn't forget King Arnulf's EXCELLENT eye for flower-arranging.

    There is a smattering of applause. A few people pull their robes up out of the wet. Erik leaps onto a wall and shouts to the crowd.

    ERIK

    Save yourselves! Hy-Brasil... is sinking.

    There are a lot of knowing smiles amongst the citizens.

    CITIZEN FROM MIDDLE

    Look, you don't know our safety regulations.

    KING ARNULF

    It can't happen.

    ERIK

    But it IS! Look!

    KING ARNULF

    (ignoring Erik)

    The important thing is not to panic.

    CITIZENS

    Quite... yes... we understand....

    KING ARNULF

    I've already appointed the Chancellor as Chairman of a committee to find out exactly what IS going on, and meantime I suggest we have a sing-song!

    CITIZENS

    Good idea!

    ANOTHER

    Can we do the one that goes "TUM-TI-TUM-TI-TUM-TI-TUM"?

    Erik looks around in despair. Meanwhile in another street someone is struggling in the floodwater.

    LOKI

    I can't swim! I can't swim!

    KEITEL

    Relax!

    LOKI

    I'm drowning! Help!

    Texas doesn't want to put up with all of those Mormons, either.

    Spoken like someone who doesn't spend much time with "Mormons".
