South Dakota: Clobal Warming Caused by... huh??

The earth is warming because it was born under a Capricorn moon with a Scorpio rising. It's a wonderful day when a bunch of morons who don't even know the difference between astronomy and astrology dictate the curriculum to our science teachers.

http://legis.state.sd.us/sessions/2010/Bill.aspx?File=HCR1009P.htm

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South Dakota Legislature urges that instruction in the public schools relating to global warming include the following:
(1) That global warming is a scientific theory rather than a proven fact;
(2) That there are a variety of climatological, meteorological, astrological, thermological, cosmological, and ecological dynamics that can effect world weather phenomena and that the significance and interrelativity of these factors is largely speculative; and
(3) That the debate on global warming has subsumed political and philosophical viewpoints which have complicated and prejudiced the scientific investigation of global warming phenomena; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Legislature urges that all instruction on the theory of global warming be appropriate to the age and academic development of the student and to the prevailing classroom circumstances.

It's so awesome. The competition for my job is a joke!

No results found for thermological:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the legislature should use words that are actually word when they're trying to sound all scientific - and not made-up words like "interrelativity" or "thermological"

Looks like that's a proposed bill, not a passed bill. Anything can be proposed.

I'm more concerned by the misuse of "effect" and making up words like interrelativity than I am about what I think was clearly a typo. If it had referenced astronomy AND astrology, I'd say they meant astrology. which would be exceptionally embarrassing. As it is, it looks like a mere typo.

what's clobal warming??

I guess that means it's time for the South Dakota legislature to collectively resign.

I just can't see how a slip of the fingers can make you type astrology instead of astronomy. Surely they meant astronomy.

Also, you'll be happy to know... IT PASSED. This means the South Dakota legislature read it, voted on it and passed it.
