A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Calling for a balanced approach for instruction in the public
schools relating to global climatic change.
WHEREAS, evidence relating to global climatic change is complex and subject to varying
scientific interpretations; and
WHEREAS, there are a variety of climatological and meteorological dynamics that can affect
world weather phenomena, and the significance and interrelativity of these factors remain
unresolved; and
WHEREAS, the debate on global warming has subsumed political and philosophical viewpoints,
which has complicated and prejudiced the scientific investigation of global climatic change
phenomena:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth
Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South Dakota
Legislature urges that all instruction in the public schools relating to global climatic change be
presented in a balanced and objective manner and be appropriate to the age and academic
development of the student and to the prevailing classroom circumstances.".
