"Global Warming" in the schools

I live in a wonderful suburban community on Long Island. My three children attend the excellent public schools in our district. As the two oldest children have made their way through middle school, though, I've been bothered by the rather flimsy instruction they've received on the subject of "global warming." Both my 14 year-old daughter and 11 year-old son have been shown Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth in sixth grade, but have been given nothing to suggest that some of the information in the movie is either controversial or misleading. So I've decided to put together this bullet point compendium of information discussing the current status of the "global warming" debate.

You can’t put together bullet points. You are obviously a right wing militia member and your children must be raised by the state for their own good...

>>Why not just post it here?<<

I went to the link. It’s a lot easier to read there than as a full article here. I hate blog pimping as much as the next guy, but if I had a blog and put something this complicated together, I would give an excerpt and a link, for the sake of simplicity. In this case it makes sense.

What I hate is the guys that embed a youtube video on their blog and then link you there instead of to youtube.

As do I.

That's a very scummy practice.

The two points I never hear argued and don't understand why.

1. we are still in the quaternary ice age. not even the global warming side argues we left the ice age. Which means the interglacial period is going to end soon.
2. The earth is in the near lowest levels of CO2 in the last 500 million years. So low in fact that if CO2 went down 100 ppm we are all screwed. Plants stop growing. If plants stop growing we have no crops. CO2 averages over 2500 ppm more then it is today.
