@snood,
NCSE has reported that , with the reauthorization oof science education for public schools, Pennsylvania has chosn to consier removing any mntion of Anthropogenic Global Warming even though the evidence is ovrwhelming. Apparently, ppressure from the oil an petro drilling concerns are behind it as their lobbyists are making believe they are science savvy and are pressing legislators with AGW denial literature(and lotsa spending cash to reelection campaigns).
However Its baad timing for the lobbyists since Pa is in the midst of yet another criminal investigation after forensic exams of Legislative expense accounts has revealed many key state senators and representatives have been spending their campaign funds on personal expenses like lavish vacations, leases of new Mercedes and work on their residences. Several Senators have spend in the neighborhood of 250 to 400 K over the past 2 yers.
The Reublican Controlled LEislature is responsible (just like they were for a recent introduction of a bill to teach Intelligent Design Iappears that the IS and AGW denial "clubs" hve joined forces and they are staffed by republicans mostly (like 90+%).
