Scientists Challenge Utah Legislators Over Global Warming 'Conspiracy'

KSTU: A group of scientists from Utah and elsewhere held a press conference after the Utah House of Representatives passed two controversial climate-change resolutions. One resolution asks the Environmental Protection Agency not to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. The other asks Governor Gary Herbert to pull out of the Western Climate Initiative, which aims to combat climate change caused by global warming. Recent polls suggest Utah’s public opinion is moving against belief in human-caused global warming.



Scientists from Brigham Young University, the University of Utah and New York University have been involved in the debate, which began with BYU scientists challenging lawmakers in November. The scientists argued that there is proof of human-caused global warming.
