Typical arrogance of those believing in man-caused global warming. Those who have to work hard to make a living in this harsh environment have a better handle on reality than this condescending scientist does. Unfortunately, the liberal "education" (read brainwashing) of the young has succeeded in the case of one young student here. He wrote a letter to a Great Falls paper complaining about the cancellation saying “I don’t feel there is another side. Global warming is not a controversial issue, it’s a fact. We need to be prepared to deal with it.”
Global warming list PING!
Thanks to Anita for highlighting the article on the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread.
Dr. Running said high school students were an important audience for his message about climate change ... "because they are the generation that will solve the problem. And we can’t solve the problem without a free discussion.”
It's interesting that "free discussion" does not include those who have a differing opinion. Global-warming "deniers" were kicked out of the recent UN sponsored meeting in Bali, and those who speak out are compared to "Holocaust" deniers. That is changing, slowly, but there is a long way to go.

BULL! Citizens are concerned about the totally one-sided AGW slop fed to us and our children and the complete refusal to acknowledge that the science is not settled. The article clearly states that citizens wanted counter points of view, not to hush him up.
Then he must find hysterical what neoliberals have been doing to conservatives for decades. What a smarmy putz.
Apparently Mr. Barhaugh has his mind made up, so the talk would have been superfluous in his case.
And what does a Professor of Ecology know about Climate Science? Short answer, nothing except whatever drivel he uses to support his political agenda. Climate Science is for Climate Scientists, not ecological alchemists.
I don’t claim to be up to data on all of the scientific literature, quite a bit of it remains hidden away from the general public, only available to the academic community, or those who can go to a university library and check their copies of the journals.
But, every real scientific paper that I have read does not make the wild claims that are touted in the popular press. Scientists are careful about their reputations and don’t make wild claim that aren’t supported by their research. A different set of rules applies to what they say to the popular press. They can and do make all kinds of wild claims and exaggerations that are no where to be found in their published papers. This gives us two completely different accounts of climate change. Guess which one is closer to the truth?
Finally. A school that shows somes smarts.
