Idaho Legislature Wants To Do Something About Global Warming

I understand that the leftists in the Idaho legislature (and yes, we have them) want to "do something" about global warming. The Senate Resources and Environment Committee is apparently considering a bill today on the subject. Here's the note that I sent to several members of the committee:

I understand that your committee is considering a proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Idaho. You might want to consider broadening the scope of your efforts. NASA reports that Mars, too, is experiencing global warming. See this article from National Geographic and from the Times of London concerning this. There are also less persuasive pieces of evidence concerning Neptune, such as this article from Geophysical Research Letters.

Hint: there's only one factor common to Earth, Mars, and Neptune, and it isn't humans. It's that big glowing ball up in the sky. There is a fair amount of evidence that solar changes are the biggest factor in all this. Trying to correct solar output changes by changing what humans do is spitting into the wind.
