We'll need to raise taxes of course so that schools can buy the new textbooks, of course.
Wonderful.
It is the overarching theme. It is central to everything. The most important goal anyone can have is the destruction of western industrialized nations. It's for the children.
I love the way the journalist discusses Algores pedigree without really discussing it. Just adding for emphasis “academy award winner” and “Nobel Peace Prize Winner” in a sterile academic way that in no way touches upon the many challenges to Algores views. Nor does the author touch upon the left leaning nature of the Nobel Peace Prize. Nor does the Author report the left wing fringe that Algore is. But the author speaks in dispassionate, dignified prose... I guess I must believe him ‘cause he sound so smart.
I just really want to bust the whole premise that surrounds this article.
"“One of my biggest fears is that I’m going to create a whole group of students who think exactly like I do,” he said. “The kids need to be involved in finding information, [rather] than having teachers be the only people supplying it.”"
If that's one of your 'biggest fears', I think you can rest easier tonight dude. Once the kids figure out how 'science' (as practiced in the government indoctrination centers) misled them, they'll take quite the opposite tack. That should make you quite happy then. If you are being honest about your 'biggest fear' that is.
We shouldn’t question global warming. That would be like questioning the periodic table or saying the earth is flat. The government is funding research grants therefore it must be true.
Here is my response to Congresman John Dingle, who continued to try to defend his “Carbon Tax” legislation, in his response to me.:
Congressman Dingell,
I’m impressed that the U.S. Congress was able to find 50 people who failed 8th grade science.
The Primary “Greenhouse gas” is WATER and nowhere have scientists been able to reliably model the components in nature that drive the fluctuations in the levels of water in the atmosphere.
Only 3% of the “Greenhouse gas” is CO^2 and only 3% of that is manmade.
This means that only 0.09% of CO^2 is manmade!
Please explain the reliability of models that make predictions based upon variations in 0.09% of content, when it has proven scientifically unachievable to model the 97% component?
As long as Congress continues to pay people to find problems where none exist, those people will continue to invent problems.
Sincerely,
Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases are emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere, trapping solar heat and warming the planet’s temperatures.
Factual presntation...
While that process occurs naturally,...
Factual statement...
...the amount of carbon dioxide being released by burning fossil fuels and industry has risen over time,...
Historically accurate...
...and is very likely a contributor to rising global temperatures, scientists say.
It factual that agenda driven scientists say this but it has NOT been provent o be a factor of any significance in the climate shift. The world's climate has changed much more radically by "natural" means. This is NOT science fact but propaganda and has no room in the classroom. It is much more measurable under science to tell us WHEN life begins but then that would tick off the pro-abortion folks. So that issue that has lead to the unnecessary deaths of tens of millions goes on and on...
Those rising temperatures have caused ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic to melt and sea levels to rise, according to scientists,...
Again, according to the agenda driven "scientists".
... and they have coincided with more severe weather and more severe droughts, among other climatic changes.
They have certainly coincided with greater PREDICTIONS from the soothsayers of more severe weather. For 2 years now they've told us to expect another Katrina hitting America each hurricane season. MILD seasons.
This does not belong in schools. Preach your Gaia based paganism in other venues (even movie theaters if you want).
Sorry dude. That position is claimed by 'evolution'. The world will stop functioning unless everyone believes in evolution.
All together now.
"I believe in Cosmos almighty, Maker of the heavens and the earth.
"And in Darwin, the only enlightened Son of Cosmos, our Lord who was conceived of first cousins, born into an inbred family, suffered under the Church of Rome for his enlightenment, died and was buried. He was resurrected by athiestic science and ascended to the right hand of Cosmos where all biological truth is judged according to his ideas.
"I believe in chance and selection, the supremacy of nature, the collective opinion of scientists, the evolutionary justification of all behavior, the survival of the fittest and the end of life at death."
Amen
Seeing Algore’s fraudumentary gives kids a “firm grasp” of the issue?
Nope. No bias here.
Yup!
Good Catch.
Turns out the Congress Critters e-mail response system is broken.
It continues to tell me that I haven’t filled in the Zip Code, despite my using an address 2 doors down from his Monroe, MI office.
(p.s. It worked in my initial contact.)
Hahahahah! Math eludes them, they know zip about civics (not the car, mind you,) and getting a C (like Algore) in science is par for the course in liberal scholastic endeavor; but, mein Gott in Himmel, they have this issue down cold!
I'd love to be a fly on THAT wall and find out how they plan to turn that pig's ear into a silk purse week after week . . . . . . . . ESPECIALLY in light of the recent fact-based studies that prove there is NO scientific evidence to support the concept of human-caused "global warming"!!!!
We live in an era where documentaries don’t have to be factual to be rewarded with honors as long as they are politically correct.
We live in an era where nightly news broadcasts can use forged documents so long as they are fake but accurate in their politics.
We live in an era where debates are not open to debate. The candidates of one party get to submit their own questions and call on their own plants while the candidates of the other party must exclusively be lynched by activists from the opposition party.
Which chapter is this in your collected works?
Do any questions about climate change appear on college entrance exams? Is this teacher preparing students to succeed?
The chapter entitled: "Stick to the Basics".
To whit: if you want to understand the science of climate, you need a solid background in chemistry and physics; biology and statistical analysis wouldn't hurt either.
I'm not sure if that's what you were asking, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
It appears to have been out there a while with what look like updates, so I figured you had it.
As soon as they find something other than carbon laying around in the open to burn for energy, I’ll be all over their bandwagon.
