"For a few years the National Research Council, National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have been working to put together a set of standards for teaching science in public education schools. So far, nine states and the District of Columbia have adopted the standards. Wyoming doesn't appear to have issues with evolution. Instead, climate science appears to be the problem. That's not because any of the legislators have actually studied the science involved and found it lacking. The issue appears to be solely with the implications of the science.
State Representative Matt Teeters had this to say '[The standards] handle global warming as settled science. There's all kind of social implications involved in that that I don't think would be good for Wyoming.' Specifically, Teeters seems to think that having citizens of the state accept climate science would 'wreck Wyoming's economy,' which relies heavily on fossil fuel production."

Yes - Dear editors - If I want to read AGW propaganda for either side I could go to one of these websites..
www.realclimate.org or wattsupwiththat.com
Lets stick with something that is not such a dead horse.
( I could go on a long rant about epiphenomenology and the difference between what is knowable in studies of populations of things verses understanding small limited machines - it appears neither side understands such stuff or is willing to profess some things are unknowable when there are long lists of confounding variables.. )
