Is you child's school participating in this Teach In sponsored by an organization called Focus on the Nation?
JANUARY 31: NATIONAL TEACH-IN DAY
Is your school ready to focus on the problem of global warming? If so, you are in luck because on January 31st you can be part of Focus the Nation, a national teach-in on global warming solutions for America - creating a dialogue at over a 1000 colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools, places of worship, civic organizations and businesses. When your school joins Focus the Nation, you will have the opportunity to participate in a free, interactive webcast airing the evening of January 30th, featuring top scientists, sustainability experts and green jobs pioneers. The goal is to have 10,000 screenings and a determination TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING...”
I have calling our local schools offices with not much success. The High School Superintendent was not aware of any school wide program, but individual teachers may be participating. He thought is sound like a good idea. The Nevada County Superintendent of Schools Office is not aware of any programs at individual schools, who have control over what is taught. So my question is, are your children participating in this one sided Teach In?
If so how do you know that your child is getting both sides of the story. Global warming and cooling are natural cycles, and it highly unlike that humans can control the climate. There is no proof that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are responsible for change in the climate, other than computer models riddled with assumptions on how the climate systems works and fudge factors to get the outcome desired by the modelers. They throw away the model runs that show cooling and only keep the ones showing warming. This is distorting the truth about climate change. Is this what you want your children to learn? Or, do you want them to learn both side of the issue and make up their own mind?
