Slightly editorialized title. Full Text (reference to astrology in item two):
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.
- Qz 17y agoDid they maybe just mean astronomical? They seemed to want to rhyme their -ological's and maybe fell into a trap.
- CoreDumpling 17y agoThat sounds plausible to me. I wonder if anyone would have noticed if they slipped "theological" in there, just to continue the trend.
- westbywest 17y agoCould very well be, since the remainder of 'ogicals cited are actual scientific disciplines. Which prompts the question, why not phrenological?
- cromulent 17y agoMaybe - hard to tell. What about thermological? Does it really mean what they think it means?
- wlievens 17y agoI once debated with a science teacher (when I was 10 years old) that astronomy and astrology are not the same. She didn't believe me.
