The Nebraska Board of Education is debating whether to include climate change in public school science classes and you can probably guess who is weighing in on its behalf. "Climate change is happening," David Harwood, a geology professor with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told the board. "It is caused by human activity."
What's he going to do when his next global warming protest gets cancelled because of a snow storm, in the middle of April?
Forty years ago we were told that grain would no longer be grown in the areas from Nebraska to Illinois because of the coming ICE AGE. All those grain belts would shift south because of the cold weather.
It was settled science!
The corn crops in coming years will be a good measure of how "climate change" effects the state.
I forgot about that one.
Of course climate change happens. Is it human-caused? I think that’s pretty absurd,at least to any measurable degree. If you live in Nebraska,you certainly know about climate change,but it might not be recognizable as such if some of these “geniuses” teach it the way they want to. Right now,any Nebraska grade school kid knows about climate change & how we have 4 basic seasons. Sometimes,the seasons are a little irregular,but I know of no proof that it is human-caused.

If Mississippi wears her New Jersey, what does Delaware?

A compilation of news articles on the global cooling scare of the 1970s
Does the bullet point list for solutions to global cooling at right look familiar? It reads almost like some of the manifestos we get from warmists today, including the suspension of Democracy as the article in the Owosso Newspaper clearly demonstrates. Thanks to Poptech for the compilation.
During the 1970s the media promoted global cooling alarmism with dire threats of a new ice age. Extreme weather events were hyped as signs of the coming apocalypse and man-made pollution was blamed as the cause.
Environmental extremists called for everything from outlawing the internal combustion engine to communist style population controls. This media hype was found in newspapers, magazines, books and on television;
Full disclosure: I live in Nebraska.
I actually turn the furnace on when it is cold, and run the AC when it is hot out. I also open the windows on very nice days, and close them, when it storms. So, I can agree that “climate change” within my household is caused by human behavior.
But I am hoping that Nebraska backs off on any requirements for teaching our children about climate change in the schools. I am sure it occurs at an exaggerated level, already.
Be careful what you wish for. If they take climate change out of your kids’ curriculum, that’ll leave more time for teaching about “fluid genders” and to bring trannies into the school library for reading time.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I remember reading something about 20 years ago about how the corn crops in Iowa and Nebraska were going to be reduced because of a “general drying out of the climate” over the next 50 years.
“Climate change is happening,” David Harwood, a geology professor with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told the board.
No Crap butthead the climate has been changing since day one!
“It is caused by human activity.”
Humans were not around from day one how is it possible that they changed the climate?
.
Humans came along on day 6.
Yehova changed the climate in a big way about 4500 years ago, when he broke up the crust of the Earth and flooded it with hot subterranean waters.
The hot ocean that remained gave us the ice age, which has been slowly receding ever since.
