Is this nuts or what?

There are days and weeks that strain my determination to keep this weblog non-political.

For those of a political bent, I assure you the following is a commentary on human nature though in this particular case  its working in the bodies the people elect to govern them.

The world certainly now knows the House of Representatives of the State of Utah is in session. The legislators are coming out with some doozies.

From the Salt Lake City Tribune account of the legislation:

"Rep. Mike Noel, the Legislature's chief climate-change skeptic, declared Thursday that global warming is a conspiracy to control world population.

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." [The bill was later  passed by the full House.]

Now that same august body has come up with the notion to eliminate the 12th year of public education.  Read the account here. I assume that will resolve one problem ignored by the first bill; that being any questions being raised on the basis of  a pesky science educated electorate.

As I said this is not politics.  It's watching evolution go backwards. You gotta love it.
