The US's most Republican state passes bill disputing science of climate change, claiming emissions are 'essentially harmless'
Carbon dioxide is "essentially harmless" to human beings and good for plants. So now will you stop worrying about global warming?
Utah's House of Representatives apparently has at least. Officially the most Republican state in America, its political masters have adopted a resolution condemning "climate alarmists", and disputing any scientific basis for global warming.
The measure, which passed by 56-17, has no legal force, though it was predictably claimed by climate change sceptics as a great victory in the wake of the controversy caused by a mistake over Himalayan glaciers in the UN's landmark report on global warming.
But it does offer a view of state politicians' concerns in Utah which is a major oil and coal producing state.
The original version of the bill dismissed climate science as a "well organised and ongoing effort to manipulate and incorporate "tricks" related to global temperature data in order to produce a global warming outcome". It accused those seeking action on climate change of riding a "gravy train" and their efforts would "ultimately lock billions of human beings into long-term poverty".
In the heat of the debate, the representative Mike Noel said environmentalists were part of a vast conspiracy to destroy the American way of life and control world population through forced sterilisation and abortion.

Common sense in Utah, its a start anyway. It really is insane though that we have to have votes on scientific theories. Shows how effed up science is.
I don’t know the ultimate effect of this vote, but I do know that the Audi “Green Police” commercial has convinced me that my next vehicle will be a Ford Earthphucker.
I really don’t like the Greenies, that fascistic bunch of whiney little girls.
From the article:”However, it insisted – against all evidence – that the hockey stick graph of changing temperatures was discredited.”
Against all evidence, Ms Goldberg? The evidence is clear that the hockey stick graph omitted the Medieval Warm period and the Little Ice Age. It is a Warmest fraud, and so is Ms Goldberg
I wonder if she's ever written something to the effect of, "...but it does offer a view of government-funded scientists, whose livelihoods are directly tied to political purse strings."
????
One of the above is Mann's famous "hockey Stick" graph. The other seven were generated by Mann's same algorithm -- fed with random numbers for input.
Wonder if Ms Goldberg can ID the "real" fake...?
