Hi my name is Collin Bell. I am currently a Sophomore at Andover High School and I recently made a video about climate change for my World Geography class. Tell me what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WG7fpta8zI

Global warming is a hoax. Can’t believe you fell for it.

[Dallas59]

Pretty good! Earth is dynamic. It’s climate fluctuates over the centuries and millenniums. The only thing that leftists want is some excuse to redistribute “wealth”....into their own pockets.

Give it up, kid—there is no there there!

Spend you time studying something that will help you to eventually get a good job and live a good life.

Young man, in all seriousness, Al Gore is an idiot. He really is. The man has mental problems I feel were bought on when he lost the election in 2000( you were very young then) Don’t waste your time researching the ramblings of an idiot. I have a suggestion for you. Here are the names of some very great men, men of character, courage, honor and men who loved America. Men who fought for it and who gave us the freedoms we enjoy. Look them up and do a video on them. Here you go, Admiral William F. ‘’Bull’’ Halsey, General George Patton, just to name two. Ok? But please young man, forget about Al Gore and his ‘’global warming’’ nonsense.

Might be worth watching the video - the kid is making the case that global warming is a hoax not buying into the idea.

Collin, you should ask for the title of your thread to be changed to match your video title.

nicely done. so, how many hours of detention did you get and did you get a grade above D- ?

[DBrow]

Nice work, Colin!

What did you get as a grade?

[naturalman1975]

Speaking as a high school teacher, I've got to say, I wouldn't give this a very good grade. Not because of the political position you are taking (a position I largely agree with in fact) but simply because your position is so political in the second half of the piece. I know you probably have to put up with teachers politicising the classroom at times - that doesn't make it a good idea for you to do the same with one of your assignments. Teachers pushing a left wing political agenda in schools is a problem largely because teachers shouldn't be pushing any political agenda in schools. Fighting the politicisation of education by strongly politicising your own assignments isn't the best idea.

I also think your explanation of what the Greenhouse Effect is, at the start of the assignment is off - you imply the Greenhouse effect is about bouncing heat into space off the atmosphere. It isn't. It's about the atmosphere preventing heat escaping by 'bouncing' it back to earth once it's already passed into our atmosphere (and the land and sea as well) from space. If you are going to argue about the science, you need to get core descriptions of scientific processes correct.

It's all very pretty - but prettiness and good production values shouldn't be what matters. It's ideas that they do which is what gives us things like An Inconvenient Truth. Nothing wrong with it looking good - seeing you have the skills, by all means use them - but you've got to make sure the core is solid - especially when challenging arguments that are flawed because their core isn't.

You get an A+ from me.

I hope you got one from Mr. Reams too.

Welcome to Free Republic! I replaced the title you used here with the title you originally used on your You Tube video. We ask everyone to only use published titles to prevent duplicate threads.

Then I placed your other title in brackets next to your published title. Once the published title is pasted into the title space and if there is space, brackets or parentheses can be added to surround a Poster's opinion or further explanation next to the published title.

I also added your name into the author space because you created the video yourself. I added your name as the source of the video because you created the video in this case. Then I added You Tube as the site where you uploaded your video.

Also I added the date when you first uploaded your video onto You Tube into the date space.

Again, welcome to Free Republic! Good job on the video. I enjoyed it and agree with the points you made. I hope your classmates and teacher also enjoy it. Good luck!

[MistrX]

Nicely done, but I think you should slow it down a bit.
Give the viewers a little more time to read the captions and absorb the graphs and charts.
What grade did you receive?

[steelyourfaith]

A+

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[basil]

Oops!

I shdda watched! Will do so now!

Thanks!

His title made me think otherwise.

[Kansas58]

Nearly every state has an Andover, where are you from?

[basil]

Okay—I din’t watch the video until now—your title put me off. I assumed you had had your head filled with algore mush.

After watching the video, I’m impressed.

Are you in high school?

[Deaf Smith]

He’s got some action shorts also.
