B-Man Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Climate Change : Heating Up To Fahrenheit 451From the Portland Tribune: http://portlandtribune.com/sl/307848-185832-portland-school-board-bans-climate-change-denying-materials In a move spearheaded by environmentalists, the Portland Public Schools board unanimously approved a resolution aimed at eliminating doubt of climate change and its causes in schools. “Eliminating doubt”. Unanimously, naturally. To teach the science of climate change is, of course, fine. To teach the cult of climate change is not. To quote Richard Feynman, a man who knew a bit about what being a scientist involved: “Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt”. Back to the Portland Tribune: The resolution passed Tuesday evening calls for the school district to get rid of textbooks or other materials that cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible. The resolution also directs the superintendent and staff to develop an implementation plan for “curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools. Get rid of the wrong books. Teach “climate justice”. Sounds like the spirit of free inquiry and open debate is alive and well in Portland.

The doubt in medical science seems to be a bigger concern than climate change right now.
Greg F Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 To teach the science of climate change is, of course, fine. I have to disagree. It is no more appropriate to attempt to teach high school kids about climate change then it is to attempt to teach calculus to an 8th grader. To understand the global warming hypothesis one needs, at the very least, a basic understanding of physics (specifically thermodynamics and quantum mechanics), chemistry, calculus, and statistics. Although there may be a small minority of high school students who have taken sufficient AP course in the above disciplines, the vast majority of high school students lack the fundamental science and math proficiency to begin to understand the complexity of the thing we call climate.

Which is exactly why it's taught to younger children who less likely to understand the science but easier to indoctrinate a mindset
B-Man Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 White House Declares May 23-27 'Extreme Heat Week' As part of its efforts to address climate change the Obama administration has designated May 23-27, 2016, as Extreme Heat Week. According to the White House, the five-day span is dedicated to having federal agencies work with communities to “enhance preparedness for extreme heat events.” {SNIP} The White House will also host a webinar on Thursday in recognition of the week, “featuring a panel of experts speaking about the growing risks of extreme heat and strategies that can be taken in communities to reduce health impacts.”

About a month earlier, the Daily Caller also noted that the models were unable to “predict CO2 would green the Western U.S.” Yet the modeling template marches on, even as, Michaels and Wojick note, “the climate science research that is done appears to be largely focused on improving the models.” Get that? Climate scientists are spending more energy and resources trying to upgrade their flawed models than they are trying to understand the climate itself. And it’s a good bet that what most climate scientists will consider improved modeling will be programs that predict even greater warmth.

That seems like exactly what they should be doing. Not everything needs to be spun so horribly.

No one seems to want to give up any of the swell things modernity has provided us. Calls for cutting back on such things like air conditioning are met with scorn. Yet none of the scientists are providing any viable answers.

Students at Santa Monica College participated in an "EcoSexual Sextravaganza" led by a philosophy professor in which they “married the ocean,” Campus Reform reports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVkxaNfgBco Amber Katherine, a philosophy professor who helped organize the May 14 event, explained to Campus Reform that the purpose of the “wedding” was to bring about a deeper love for the planet through “ecocentric passion and even lust.” The ceremony was wrapped in religious language. “Today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all,” proclaimed the “wedding” officiator. There came a point where “students then made their way down to the water, where they were urged by event organizers to 'consummate' the marriage."

Now if any of them drowns, the ocean can be charged with domestic abuse, and be eligible to vote in Virginia.

Dante Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Now if any of them drowns, the ocean can be charged with domestic abuse, and be eligible to vote in Virginia. This can't be for real. Sure this isn't a Onion deal? People go to university to get brain damaged now apparently. Forget the idea of learning anything actually practical. It's all indoctrination into a weird cult.

B-Man Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 An inconvenient 10 years: Al Gore gets more alarmist while the science doesn’t http://www.cfact.org/2016/05/26/an-inconvenient-10-years-al-gore-gets-more-alarmist-while-the-science-doesnt/ … Former Obama Energy Chief slams EPA climate regulations Former Assistant Secretary: “The Clean Power Plan (CPP) has been falsely sold as impactful environmental regulation when it is really an attempt by our primary federal environmental regulator to take over state and federal regulation of energy.” “What is also clear, scientifically and technically, is that EPA’s plan will not significantly impact global emissions.” “Consider that all of the U.S. annual emissions in 2025 will be offset by three weeks of Chinese emissions. Three weeks. So it is dramatically uneventful. Is this impactful climate regulation? I think not.” Obviously an uninformed industry stooge.
