Bravo, Utah Rep. Mike Noel

Global warming report: Is forecast a wake-up call, or a cry of wolf? - Salt Lake Tribune
Congress and many states have complained about the Bush administration's refusal to address climate change. But administration officials have said as recently as this week that there will be no federal action to curb greenhouse gasses.

Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, agreed Thursday that no action is warranted. He doubted that the information "is there to support the conclusions in the report," which he hadn't read.
He called EPA's suggestions "overkill," because temperatures are not expected to increase more than a few degrees over the next 70 years.
"I'm definitely not going to be jumping on the bandwagon of climate change," Noel said. "I haven't joined the church of global warming, and I don't worship at the altar of carbon dioxide chastity."
