Lake Mead is drying out -- is it a subject for K-12 study?
Is it global warming's time in the classroom?
Should your child be studying global warming in science class? A California lawmaker has introduced a bill to require just that. "You can't have a science curriculum that is relevant and current if it doesn't deal with the science behind climate change," said State Sen. Joe Simitian, a Democrat. But global warming are rallying against the requirement.
Should global warming be a mandatory part of the science curriculum?

Cheaper Energy
Submitted on November 29th, 2008 by AnonymousHi all, Came across you site, while looking for alternative energy, or to be more specific other energy companies.
I stumbled across the following blog whilst looking for cheaper energy, whilst the price of oil has come down, my energy bills haven't http://cheaperenergy.wordpress.com My bills haven risen by 35% in the last year, by these greedy energy companies. (Thankfully I only rent so don't have to worry about a mortgage as well.) Has anyone tried this green and cheap renewable energy?
If so, be intrested to know how it worked for you, and how technical it was to assemble
thanks

Global warming
Submitted on February 18th, 2008 by JoelI don't think the religion metaphor is quite right, Jim. Barring the actual Second Coming, there's no way for us to know whether anyone's priests are right or wrong. Which is why we end up with arguements about the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin. We'll never know.
We can figure out, though, with a high degree of certainty, that humans are contributing to global warming. Elizabeth Kolbert describes the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:
Is that "definitely, no doubt?" Nope. But it means that there is a broad scientific consensus about human contributions to global warming -- and that most of the arguments occur at the margins. This is far, far beyond the area of "unproven theory," and well into the area of figuring out what we should be doing about it.
Ugh. Here we go
Submitted on February 18th, 2008 by Jim LakelyArguing about global warming has now become like arguing about religion. "My high priests of science are right. They know the way. Your priests are phony and are leading you down the dark path." Let's remember that the scientific community was also once pretty much in agreement about, say, eugenics.
There are many problems with Al Gore's global warming theories -- that schools in the U.S. are teaching as fact. For one, Gore and his buddies seem to misunderstand the link between carbon emissions and warmer temperatures. Then there is the effect of sunspot activity on the global temperature -- which has a much stronger link.
We could go on all day. But I think reordering the entire planet on the basis of an unproven theory is a little foolish. Call me a denier, I guess.
Kudos, Renee
Submitted on February 18th, 2008 by KansasGirl-That's an excellent point. I would point out that the scientific community is pretty much in agreement on this one, so if we were listening to them, there might be more of a consensus politically.
The blind leading the blind
Submitted on February 18th, 2008 by ReneeI think it is interesting that the people who decide these issues (politicians), probably know very little about science and global warming and even less about education and teaching...
