HONDA GLOBAL WARMING AMENDMENT ADOPTED
First Direct House Vote on Crucial Issue – Bellwether for Future Legislation
Washington, DC – An amendment offered by Rep. Mike Honda (CA-15) to improve global warming and climate science education was adopted late Wednesday night, May 2, 2007, in the House of Representatives during debate on the National Science Foundation (NSF) Authorization Act of 2007 (H.R. 1867). The amendment is the first direct vote on global warming in the House of Representatives, and will likely serve as a bellwether for future policy development on the issue.
The Honda amendment will allow the National Science Foundation to support activities to develop vitally needed formal and informal educational materials to improve the understanding of global warming and encourage broad public efforts to reduce the threat posed by climate change. These materials will include a K-12 curriculum, exhibits, and audiovisual materials. Climate science is a subject that is often inadequately addressed in K-12 science curricula.
“Most of the time, people can go about their everyday lives without understanding complex scientific concepts, suffering no ill effects,” Honda said. “But global warming presents a new kind of problem; and the understanding of this phenomenon will play a significant role in our ability to actually address it. We don’t have much time. Nearly every point on the globe is getting warmer, and the debate is no longer if, but when these changes will occur. We can turn the tide of global warming, but only if we arm ourselves with the necessary knowledge.”
The amendment was adopted by a 252-165 vote, with 27 Republicans joining Democrats, despite a procedural attempt by some Republicans to include language requiring the educational materials to reflect “the diversity of opinion” about the role of human activities on global warming – this notwithstanding overwhelming scientific consensus as to the real threats posed by climate change and global warming. The Honda Amendment was included in the final NSF bill, which passed the House by an overwhelming majority: 399 – 17.
50 years from now educated people will shake their heads with wonder at the stupidity of the global warming hysteria.
Other than the discussion about the federal government’s role in education.... I can see where this might actually be useful. The President could write an executive order that requires all public information about green house gases include all greenhouse gases. Further, require a stacked bar graph that accurately reflects by volume the percentage of all CO2, all man made CO2 and US man made CO2.

It appears we are going to get this Global Warming crap shoved down our throats ,whether we like it or not.
Why??
Follow the Carbon Credit money. There’s gold in them thar hills.
Nothing stays the same, including the sun. The sun is sometimes hotter.
The left has a winner now, Global Warming. They will indoctrinate a whole generation with this. Socialism will win, and fail as it always has.
“The amendment was adopted by a 252-165 vote...”
The Republic is in serious danger as the moonbats have escaped from their caves.
Who gets to “lift the lid” on our wonderful congressman Mike Honda?
Here’s “a piece of work”,just in case you’ve never heard of him.
165 against?? Must have been an awful lot of Republicans who voted the wrong way. I should throw out every fund raising letter I get from the RNC.
Oen day when we are paying $10 for gas and having our lives disrupted because of the rules and regulations they have needlessly imposed on us, maybe some people will wake up. But it might be too late. And of course a lot of the people complaining will still vote for the Dems or “moderate” Republicans who gave us this mess because they think they “care about the children!” and that kind of nonsense.
“Follow the Carbon Credit money. There’s gold in them thar hills.”
Bingo. Once a few people lose their asses, I hope this will dwindle significantly. Literally the biggest scam ever perpetrated.
Yet another example showing that our government considers the public school system a way to control behavior of future voters, rather than a system to educate and inform the populace.
"vitally needed" = We MUST make this mandatory.
"formal and informal educational materials" = Not only rewrite the "science" curriculum, but pound away at it at every opportunity.
"to improve the understanding" = ensure the indoctrination of young, uncritical minds.
"encourage broad public efforts" = make sure the little tykes put their indoctrination into action as they grow to working and voting age.
Neat little package, no?
Looks veto proof. Let's hope ther is more sense in the Senate.
You couldn't be more right on. The stages of development of young minds don't incorporate the process of questioning the veracity of information until very late into the "K-12" age range; and questioning the veracity of ideas pounded in during the earlier ranges won't come until much later in life. As we can already see in some of our aging liberal friends, it may never come at all.
I suspect that speaking the truth about the global warming fraud will be forbidden -- even that far in the future.
A scam certainly,but with government backing.
You have to take a peek at who will profit.
