Utah. It’s one of those states that we just have to deal with. Its legislature has just passed a resolution that… uh… well it tells the fedril gubmints to LAY OFF THEIR FREEDOMS and put a sock in this Climate Change scam, because look. Look at all the fukkin’ snow. Fukkin’ everywhere. Mountains, ground, trees. Highways. Understand? GET IT, GORE? AL GORE? Shoulda passed the original draft with “conspiracy” and “gravy train” in it, cuz that’s what it is, a conspiracy gravy train, Al Gore in the gravy, gravy in the train, splatterin’ all over the fukkin’ snow, hot fukkin’ snowy gravy fukkin’ Gore takin’ a bath all the way to the rich man’s bank… [Guardian]

In a few years, when Utah runs out of water, this piece of legislation should be bronzed and put on a monument on the grounds of their State House.

JMP February 12, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Utah, it has been substantiated. Many, many times. Just because a bunch of morons like to stick their fingers in their ears and yell “I can’t hear you!” doesn’t change this basic fact.

But hey, since the state legislature seems to thing the Constitution requires federal agencies to listen to state legislatures, their utter ignorance is not surprising. Besides, what do they care; they all have their own, unaffected planets to rule after death.

They also want to pass a resolution declaring that solar eclipses are caused by a giant dragon eating the sun.

pampl February 12, 2010 at 2:46 pm

I know the underpants gnomes joke has been done to death but seriously it perfectly describes right-wing thought on this issue:
1- create vast egghead conspiracy to limit carbon emissions
2- ????
3- profit

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.

Shit, they figured us out.

So that’s why there’s always a mini baby-boom nine months after a snowfall — all those people who were going to get abortions because of climate change suddenly stop and rethink their options. Also — dumbest conspiracy yet.

Nothing says stupid like “I’m from Utah!”

Ducksworthy February 12, 2010 at 2:49 pm

Most of Utah is a huge dried out bowl of salt. Mormon prophecy teaches that if there’s enough carbon dioxide sweet water from all that snow will fill the bowl again and the Mormons can go back to having 10 wives each. Although there is the opposing view [FACT] that the founders of Mormonism were actually space aliens intent on impregnating as many earth women as possible. (See also Plan 10 From Outer Space)

[re=512318]JMP[/re]: Keep in mind, this is a state that has a monument to seagulls akin to a temple for their great efforts in slowing a famine by eating an assload of grasshoppers. We are not talking good breeding stock here. You can’t expect much.

Every February it snows, somewhere in the USA, and like clockwork these idiots come out to sputter and yell:

“Thee! Thtold you tho! Gwobal Wawming ith a myth!!!”

It’s infantile, at best.

These are the same Right Wing Retards that in recent years, (before Hopey even announced his candidacy), began banging the drum that because the nazis were the National *Socialist* party that’s indisputable proof that they were left-wing Wiberals.

Morans.

And I mean that in the nicest way.

BTW, Rio de Janeiro is in the middle of their worst heat wave in the last 50 years that right now that so far has killed 32 of the Olds this week from heat related illnesses.

Peak temperatures in Rio this week of 115° F were a full 15° higher than those recorded in the Sahara desert that same day.

[re=512330]Ducksworthy[/re]: Upon reflection, the space aliens theory is starting to make more and more sense. What if we have really have been invaded by Lizard People who have been busily reverse terraforming the earth to more closely resemble their hot dry planet of origin? They were bound to be pissed off at efforts to thwart their plan.

Federal Gubmint: do NOT tell us what to do.

Corporate-style church: Regulate every aspect of our lives from birf to baptizing our traceable ancestors a zillion years after they died and before there ever was “Mormonz”. Also non-negotiable taxing, or “tithing”.

“Sometimes … we need to have the courage to do nothing.”

Truly words to live by.

SmutBoffin February 12, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Someone needs to explain to these fucksticks that the spatiotemporal evolution of dynamical systems (e.g. “climate”) has a very sensitive dependence on the initial conditions, and that perturbations to the system (say, in the form of widespread, multiple-degree temperature increases) can cause the system to depart from its accustomed patterns and take it on a tour through regions of phase-space where radical variability is the norm.

I would, but I have better things to do (watch porn).

Mustang February 12, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Okay, that does it. I’m writing a resolution against fat boring white people who reproduce way out of proportion to their value to humankind. Except Canyonlands and Arches are very wonderful.

Ducksworthy February 12, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Have you ever noticed that the standard interior design of Mormon temples, which is supposed to resemble the Celestial Kingdom, also closely resembles the brand new interior of a circa 1965 Howard Johnson’s motel lobby? This helps reinforce the teaching that In the Celestial Kingdom we will all get to stay at Howard Johnson’s.

This is the same fine body that is creating a program for gun ownership of guns made in Utah and not carried across state lines (thus, in the eyes of said body and several ultra-wingnut groups, not subject to federal gun regulation). The program will be: no license needed, no registration, no nada. Of course, none of those weapons could possibly fall into the hands of extremists, and ATF will no doubt send its blessings and offer hearty congratulations to these alcohol- and caffeine-deprived legislators and their lovely harems.

JMP February 12, 2010 at 3:07 pm

[re=512327]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Hey, I’ve heard bits of that one before. It’s a big conspiracy by the same people who used to support communism, because they hate America and want it to fail. That must be why the people who fight global warming are only asking the US to curb its emissions instead of asking every other country in the world to do the, some of which have done so.

By the authority of the Utah State Legislature it has been proven Global Climate Change to be a hoax. Time for us libtards to pick another battle.

I think if the baseline of your beliefs is that Jesus Christ appeared amongst Indians, the Garden of Eden is St. Joseph’s Missouri, and the sacred texts came from somebody reading something out of a hat, believing in ridiculous conspiracy theories concerning Global Warming isn’t that far of a leap.

[re=512374]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Good point. Mormonism does prepare people very well to accept republican orthodoxy, also.

[re=512355]JMP[/re]: If other countries are doing it, that’s all the evidence some people need that it’s clearly wrong. Also part of an internationalist conspiracy. Glenn Beck loves this one too, though he usually comes at it from the angle of MSNBC’s parent company, GE, doing it to corner the market on wind turbines. Which means that if you love fair and balanced journalism, you’ll drive your Hummer around aimlessly just to stick it to Keith Olbermann.

phildeaux February 12, 2010 at 3:36 pm

The Utah legislature gives us all an idea of what government would look like if the Tea Partiers took over, as guided by postings from redstate.com. In addition to the Climate Change game changer, they have also proposed the following legislation:

Having the state exercise eminent domain over federal land http://www.sltrib.com/ci_14377307?
Eliminate 12th grade (why not the 3rd grade — good question!) http://www.sltrib.com/ci_14361726?

[re=512354]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: In light of your fine example of Utah’s love affair with intra-State commerce, I suggest some Blue State legislature pass a resolution stating that since it rained a couple of times in Utah this year, there is no need for water conservation in Utah and thus no need for Utah to import water from outside its borders.

Years ago I considered moving to Utah. The company that offered me a job sent a brochure explaining all that Utah had to offer. There was a long section on all the hoops you had to jump through to register your car, boat, motorcycle etc. There was one line that said you could bring in explosives and guns with no restrictions. I didn’t move there.

Beware a slack response to Global Warming.
That Russian flag under the North pole ice is not there for nothing.
As the ice melts longer each warm season the Russians will be toll gating the North pole trading routes of ships.
Then when the Earth’s crust convulses so much extra than it used too because of different pressures on the crust from the sea rising and winds pressing on the mountains you will have to be in one of their Nuclear Submarines to feel safe.
Such things of Earthquakes are in that Book of Books.
Lets hope someone can compose some good content for interstellar messages in time.
Surely we must be quicker than computers and robots like the things between identical twins perhaps.
May Jesus have patience in us again some how. Amen
