Utah, Currently the Sanest State in the Union

Suzanne Goldberg of the Guardian has a cow reporting on the incredible effrontery of the Utah legislature's acknowledgement of what anyone with a functioning brain now knows:

Carbon dioxide is "essentially harmless" to human beings and good for plants. So now will you stop worrying about global warming?

Utah's House of Representatives apparently has at least. Officially the most Republican state in America, its political masters have adopted a resolution condemning "climate alarmists", and disputing any scientific basis for global warming.

Guardian moderators are working overtime deleting AGW skeptics' posts from their comments.

On a personal note, yours truly will be leaving today for Mardi Gras, where Mann-made global warming will ensure a toasty 45 or 50 degrees next week in the Crescent City.
