Frankly, they ARE overstating the effect that humans are having on global warming, period and done with. The icecaps of MARS are melting at a higher rate than anytime in the past 50 years, and there is absolutely JACK that we can do to effect that on this planet!
The real thing that is making OUR polar icecaps melt is that the sun is putting out more energy than usual and we are STILL coming out of an ice age, something that most scientists acknowledge.

We should really BAN global warming from being talked about, unless they also point out that Mars is having it’s icecaps melt at a faster rate, and that we can have absolutely no effect on that, which means that there is NO consensus that the LITTLE BIT of warming on this planet is coming from CO2 or humanity in any form.

This is the same “heart land” that issued a report (sponsored by the tobaco industry) stating the claimed adverse health effects of tobaca is junk science.

Laff.

You’re right about that, Dennis, except that we’ll probably kill off all our kids before they’re born.

I haven’t been to public school for 32 years now.
Parents could help teach their kids whatever they wish but….
Most people are too busy working for the modern feudal/slave/prison system to be able to spend time with their kids.
Often it is a few useless higher-ups that reap the rewards of the work of all us lower class.
Our/your kids are next in the slave line….
For money money money but not lifestyle.

What are we gonna do when condoms and birth control pills arn’t enough to please our left wing masters?
Why did liberals and leftists push so hard for multiculturalism when its the major cause of urban sprawl and enviromental destruction around our citys.
Why should we give a blank cheque to the very prople who created the problem in the first place?

Less people = less of a negative environmental impact….. True enough I suggest we start ww3 or maybe fire up the ovens and cook the
non belivers. So just what is the end run of this type of thinking? Why are our children under the care of people who think the final solution is a option?
Why is a guy who see this as a problem… a bad guy? We have to deal with this and a good start would be cleaning out our schools from top to bottom of the out of touch left wing nut jobs. They claim to protect and grow our childrens minds but in fact they hide behind them to spew their University sanctioned propaganda. I think I will pass on any public showers in the near future.

And while they’re at it, why don’t they preach creationism and anti-abortion propaganda.

Once again proof that you can force people to believe—and distribute—any bullshit you want them to, as long as you have money.

or Global warming… Right. Thank you very very much. Now go look in the mirror.

“suggests the sun was the main factor behind recent warming” I wouldn’t be a bit surprised. I’ve personally found it to have that effect.

@ #1 Most people believe in teaching their children common sense and decency, though it should start at home.
You however are free to teach yours your own standards or lack of them

Hi there
I think we should have a balanced reporting system. From both sides of the story not just Al G’s point of view. As the latest news stories filter in, which msm does not publish, is that Climate change has taken a pause as stated in this head line ‘Global Warming Will Stop,’ New Peer-Reviewed Study Says, at this web site http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=a17defa8-802a-23ad-4912-8ab7138a7c3f&Issue_id
What we need to do as citizens is to be kind to the enviroment and don’t harm it so much, however I don’t mean to go over board like most green people beleive we need to do. Being Green is a new religion and we have to be careful that we don’t go overboard and ruin our economies. Lets stop and have an open debate on the subject and lets not call each other names since that does not get us to listen to each side.

I don’t think “corporate sponsored” material has any place in a classroom.

I do believe that Global Warming is questionable, and should not be taught as fact. Most scientific guesswork about events not directly witnessed is pure speculation, and should never be taught to children as facts.

Not overly surprised… yet quite disappointed. I hope the education systems are strong and smart enough to catch these highly questionable “facts”.

I do think that Environmental concern shouldn’t be solely focused on emissions… yes it is a big factor… but what about economic and population growth? Just because there’s room to grow, doesn’t mean we should. Less people = less of a negative environmental impact. Also, instead of reducing your emissions, lets try to boost the aspects that counter these… promoting growth/wildlife. How many trees have you planted today?
