Getting all medieval


The state legislature of Wyoming has decided to forbid its teachers from saying that global warming is caused by human activity.  The coal and gas industry are important to Wyoming, and the legislators certainly don’t want to call attention to what those industries are doing to the global climate.

Oklahoma will probably follow suit.

We are now legislating ignorance.  I’m waiting for an earth-centered solar system to make a comeback.  After all, the sun rises and sets.  It must revolve around the earth, no matter what Galileo said.
