The Utah House has passed a resolution questioning the science behind global warming.
Rep. Mike Noel, the Legislature's chief climate-change skeptic, declared Thursday that global warming is a conspiracy to control world population.http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_14337716
The House Natural Resources Committee then approved a resolution that expresses the Utah Legislature's belief that "climate alarmists' carbon dioxide-related global warming hypothesis is unable to account for the current downturn in global temperatures."
The resolution, sent to the House on a 10-1 vote, would urge the Environmental Protection Agency to drop plans to regulate the pollution blamed for climate change "until a full and independent investigation of the climate data conspiracy and global warming science can be substantiated."
"We're at the breaking point," said Rep. Kerry Gibson, the resolution's sponsor, who warned that the supply of safe and affordable food is already threatened by over-regulation.
"I believe in global warming," Gibson said. "I believe in globalhttp://www.deseretnews.com/article/700008370/Utah-Legislature-House-formally-questions-global-warming.html
cooling, in (weather) cycles. We've had an ice age, extreme heat," but
can humans, "in our everyday lives," change the environment around us?
Kerry Gibson has a 600 cow, 800+ acre dairy farm. He has a degree in dairy farming from Utah University.
Kerry, Kerry! Let me run this one by you. Those green acres where your cows graze: were they always there? Were the fences and roads always there? Or, did humans alter the natural environment?
I wonder, Kerry, did your degree course not cover the basics of biology? Cows thrive in green acres and die in desert sands or icy wastes. Every living organism affects its environment; every living organism is affected by its environment. We humans are no exception, unless it be in this: that we change our environment on the grand scale using ever bigger machines.
Don't these politicians get it? The global human population and their food supplies are under threat, not by taxation and regulation but by environmental backlash. Global warming is triggering climate change. Weather extremes will become more common and more extreme globally. This will lead to food and freshwater shortages globally.
Perhaps the farmers of Utah will begin to understand this whole global warming scenario when they have a drought like the ones in China And Tibet.
Of course, it will be too late for them to open their eyes to the big picture when they have to put their thin, drought-stricken cows through a printing press in order to brand them.
