Climate Debate in Halls of Utah Legislature
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a state legislator go toe-to-toe on the climate change issue with an alarmist, but the Fox News affiliate in Salt Lake City caught that very thing on camera this week.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a state legislator go toe-to-toe on the climate change issue with an alarmist, but the Fox News affiliate in Salt Lake City caught that very thing on camera this week. On Wednesday after a student-led global warming rally at the legislature, State Rep. Mike Noel, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, found himself in the same room with former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson. Here’s the full discussion, in which the skeptic Noel is surrounded by environoiacs, including one who kept trying to butt in:
You might recall last month the Utah legislature passed a few measures in opposition to placing limits on greenhouse gas emissions, including a recommendation to Gov. Gary Herbert that the state withdraw from the Western Climate Initiative.

These eco-kooks are as zealous as al-Qaeda.
They will not listen to reason. They keep citing bogus data. Everyone who disagrees with them has made a pact with the devil, i.e. Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Nuke, Big Polluters, et al.
President Bush should've treated this as a national security issue and rescinded both the Clean Air and Endangered Species Acts.
And, maybe, tried these tree-huggers in military tribunals. Especially the twit with the beard. I can dream, can't I?
