When did credibility enter the picture? This continues the redistribution of wealth and works to diminish capitalist countries who produce through the use of resources.
More from the article:
At Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Laura Dinerman's AP environmental science class has grown by an entire classroom each year: She started with 22 students, is teaching two classes this year and next year expects to have 66 students -- at least three classes, "if it doesn't go up," she says.
Dinerman has also seen a blossoming interest this year in the school's environmental club (mission statement: "Change the World"). Just under 10 teenagers were active last year; 90 have signed up this year, an increase helped by an aggressive marketing campaign and Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." Gore is this generation's Bob Dylan; "Truth" is its "Blowin' in the Wind."
It's too early in the morning to be ill and throwing up. Hopefully reason will prevail and Gore will be "blowin' in the wind."
How long before these kids become cynical? If they start out being an activist at 8 or 10 and nothing at all happens by the time they are 18, will they still care? If we have entered a minima and they spend 7 months a month a year being cold, will they simply drop out of the Church of Gaia?
I have interveiwed several of these Environmental studies kids for part time work in my business. Not one, out of perhaps a dozen of them, had any science education. Every one had majored in something like Land Use Planning. By the age of 20, they were unemployable and looking for any kind of work, usually doing labor for organic farms.
If an entire generation is brainwashed and if they won’t even speak to those of us who have some science and some facts to back our conclusions, just who will they recruit and for what? Will it become trendy to burn all the carbon they can, to stay warm and “Warm The Planet”?
