Utah Republicans: Global Warming Is Hoax

Utah's Republican controlled state legislature has declared that global warming has no scientific basis. The resolution called for an immediate end of efforts to fight global warming.

The Utah legislative action is not the first attempt by a state legislature to overrule science. In 1897 the Indiana State House of Representatives passed overwhelmingly a bill to legislate the value of pi.

The Alabama legislature was reported in 1998 to have legislated the value of pi to be 3.0, a biblical value. This story was an April Fools' Day hoax, however.
